4. Don't leave your intimate products on your desk.

For this one, I'm trying to save you from your own embarrassment. Personally, I wouldn't want my roommate to know about the details of my intimate life. So, unless you want to inform your roommate of your methods of pleasure, I'd advise you to at least tidy-up afterward.

3. Don't leave the door unlocked without your roommate's permission.

I understand that you might trust your friends to come and go whenever they want, but when literally anybody can just walk in, it could become a problem. And besides, waking up on your own beats getting woken up by four people you don't know who are trying to figure out how to use the printer at 7 a.m.

2. Don't gossip about your roommate while they're in the room.

There's always going to be something that's going to bother you about your roommate. That's fine. But I can guarantee that they don't want to overhear it. If you have a problem and need to vent, make it constructive and talk to your roommate about it. And maybe then you might not have to complain anymore. Oh, and even though your roommate is in bed, always consider the possibility that they are awake and able to hear you.

1. Don't have sex in your roommate's bed.

Just don't. Even if you remove the sheets. I don't care how high your own bed is lofted. Of all the things on this list, this is the one I shouldn't have to explain. It greatly oversteps personal boundaries, takes advantage of your roommate's trust, and is just completely disgusting.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
