When the end of the year comes around in college, it means a lot of things: Studying, doing finals, crying, binge eating, binge Netflixing while avoiding finals, and moving out of the dorm. Moving out is something I know I always put off until the last minute because it's actually kind of hard to leave your home. Moving back into your parents' house or moving out into the *sigh* real world. Your little fortress you've made will be gone, and so will your roommate.

Maybe you and your roommate were great friends or maybe you hated each other, but one thing is for sure: you'll most likely miss them, but not in the yearning kind of way you may miss a lover. After going through a couple of years of college and a couple of roommates to boot, I've collected some of the weird ways I miss my roomies after our time is up. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way!

1. Raiding their closet.

During the school year, you get bored wearing the same leggings and t-shirt, so you just walk across the room to your roommate's closet and grab something else. If you're invited to a theme party and need a cute outfit ASAP, what do you do? Go to your roomie's closet. This can be for anything from shoes to shorts and even to bras! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, amirite?

2. Crying about anything.


Your roommate lives with you, so you guys have to get comfortable with them. They understand things that upset you and are always prepared to listen to I have cried harder to my roommates than I have too many of my friends. It's easy to be vulnerable to them because they are neutral (until someone breaks your heart and they have to kick their butt) and won't judge you.

3. Late night food runs... or anything about food in general.



"...you hungry?" "Yeah." "Taco Bell?" "Hell yeah!" A good roomie is always game for chicken nuggets or Dorito tacos!

When you get to know each other's class schedules, you know they'll always come through with the coffee or breakfast because you'll do the same for them!

4. Talking about weird AF stuff.

Whether you're creeping your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend on Twitter or you need someone to inspect a curious zit on your back, your roommate is always there to tell you you're not being weird! (Even though we all know you're being weird AF... But you're there for her when she's being weird AF too so it's OK!!)

5. Midnight heart to hearts.


When it's time to get real and you're having the worst day EVER, your roommate is the one who is there to listen. Maybe you're bitching about that annoying thing she does or you're feeling guilty about something. You can talk to her about the things that scare you and she'll always help you come to an understanding so you can both get some damn sleep.

No matter how excited you are to go back home at the end of the year, something will feel like it's missing. Whether you were best friends or simply acquaintances, you lived with them for a year and it's gonna be weird not living with them. So to my past and future roomies, I love you, I miss you, and I'm thankful to be weird with you!

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.
