30 Things We Don't Think To Thank Our Roommates For

We’ve all had our fair share of bad roommate situations. It’s life, and in college, these things are bound to happen. Roommates that worship cults, roommates that leave passive aggressive notes everywhere, roommates that try to track your every move, and even just roommates that you just don’t live well with. After a less than desirable roommate situation, it’s really important to recognize, appreciate, and hold onto good roommates. Here are 30 things that you should thank those great roommates for

1. Thank you for always sharing ice cream with me.

2. Thank you for always being so funny, and making me laugh every single day.

3. Thank you for being more terrified of our ghost than I am. I’m never less scared than anyone else… except for you.

4. Thank you for never calling me “roomie”. I may have had to drop kick you.

5. Thank you for having such funny sayings that I shamelessly stole and implemented into my own daily vocabulary.

6. Thank you for always helping me plan out my outfits, and literally abandoning your homework to help me decide if boots or converse were more appropriate.

7.Thank you for lighting the candles for me because I’m scared of lighters (If my RA is reading this - please don’t take away our candles)

8. Thanks for sharing a sense of humor with me.

9. Thank you for having a weird obsession with fantastic movies, and insisting on making me watch all of them.

10. Thank you for taking out the garbage all of the time because I never ever remember.

11. Thank you for tolerating my habit of not doing dishes for a while.

12. Thank you for always letting me eat the bananas you buy.

13. Thank you for always being so understanding.

14. Thank you for introducing me to blender-made banana ice cream.

15. Thank you for not caring when my side is a disaster.

16. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes when I can’t find anything that goes with my outfit.

17. Thank you for always being down to go to the cafe with me.

18. Thank you for not being a snorer.

19. Thank you for sharing a dislike for a lot of the people I have a disliking for.

20. Thank you for not ever being annoying.

21. Thank you for not being weird about awkward situations we find ourselves in.

22. Thank you for being so relaxed about everything, and being so easy-going.

23. Thank you for introducing me to your friends (and letting me tag along) in the beginning of the year when I knew no one.

24. Thank you for never yelling at me, even when I’m being really annoying.

25. Thank you for not judging me when I eat Oreos at 2 am, with milk in a wine glass.

26. Thank you for listening to me complain about my tough classes every single day.

27. Thank you helping me out whenever I needed anything.

28. Thank you for the fact that we get along so great to the point where we have literally never had even a resemblance of a fight.

29. Thank you for being you, and for always being so great.

And lastly, thank you for doing random roommate, and also shout out to the housing department for throwing two seemingly-opposite, lost, lonely transfers together. Living with you has honestly changed my life, Morgan. It’s so cheesy, but it really has. I love you!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.
