15 Signs Your Roommate Is The Absolute WORST
Kelsey Dietrich

One of the biggest adjustments that a student has to make when beginning college is dealing with a different living situation. For the first time, students are no longer living with their parents and sharing space with siblings that they are comfortable with; instead, they are now living in a small space with a stranger. Whether students live in a double person dorm room, a single bedroom with suitemates, or an apartment complex, they are learning how to share a space with new people in a totally different environment.

Coming to terms with your living situation, no matter what the specific details entail, can be challenging. Hopefully, you are able to adjust with ease and no problems; however, if things are not as swift as you would have preferred, hopefully, you take those moments as important learning experiences to define yourself and your value preferences. Eventually, you will enjoy living with somebody whether they were your first roommate (lucky!) or your fourth.

Either way, you know your roommate is the "absolute worst" when they...

1. Listen to all of your stories

2. Offer thoughtful advice and a fresh perspective on situations

3. Check in on you

4. Help with homework

5. Respect your personal space

6. Genuinely care about you

7. Provide you with a support system

8. Have seen you at your worst and still like you

9. Do not judge the number of showers you take per week

10. Respect your belongings

11. Know your family like their own

12. Encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone

13. Take the time to learn about your hobbies and interests

14. And then teach you about theirs

15. Help make your home away from home a safe and enjoyable place to live

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
