7 Times You And Your Roommate Were Leslie Knope And Ann Perkins

Many times, your college roommates become your closest friends. In fact, they become more than friends--despite disagreements or frustrations, there's something about sharing a living space that brings you closer together like nothing else will. You develop a bond deeper than friendship, and although they may never be roommates in the television show Parks and Recreation, Leslie Knope and Ann Perkins are the perfect example of what best friend college roommates are like.

1. Asking each other for clothing advice:

Because you would much rather hear it from them and have them save you the embarrassment of wearing a bad outfit in public.

2. Spending so much time together that people mistake you for a couple:

Although truthfully, they probably know more about you than your significant other does. After all, the best conversations happen behind closed dorm doors at 1 a.m.

3. The bond and loyalty you share:

Your roommates become your family, and family comes first. Always.

4. Being able to rely on them when you're having a bad day:

You know that no matter what, they have your back. Sometimes you don't even have to ask for support--they know you well enough to know when you need some cheering up.

5. Pep talks:

Not only are they there for you, but you want to support and encourage them when they're feeling low, because they're awesome and need to be reminded of that sometimes.

6. Wanting to find them Mr. Right:

It's no easy task, because they deserve the very best, but you're up for the challenge. Because if anyone knows them well enough to find them a match, it's you!

7. Loving each other through the good, bad or the ugly:

There will be times when you don't get along and feelings are hurt. But through it all, you will always make amends, because you love each other and can't imagine life without them.

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.
