We all have to share our spaces with someone (or multiple people), and with close proximity comes bonding that you just can't get otherwise. Your roommate(s) is your confidante, your go-to, your ride or die, and whatever else you could call a super close, live-in best friend. It'll be weird to adjust to living without them after graduation. Here are just a few things you'll end up missing:

1. Having someone to go anywhere with you

If you want Starbucks or Chipotle, you can count on them to be along for the ride.

2. Venting sessions

Sad over a boy? Fail your exam? Get in a fight with your mom? Your roommate's there to hear about all of it.

3. Netflix and cuddling

Because if you can't sit home on a Friday night to watch Gilmore Girls and eat junk food with your roomie, who can you do it with? No one, that's who.

4. Decorating/furnishing your apartment

Even if that just means hanging up some lights and a few old posters, you make it your own.

5. An always available support system

Need I say more?

6. Having a perpetual sleepover

You can have ice cream and wine any night of the week, and it's acceptable because you're technically always having a "sleepover", right?

7. Making questionable decisions too often

Refer back to #6.

8. A best friend

At the end of the day, your roommate is your best friend. And even if you know you won't be seeing them as much after graduation, you know you'll have countless memories to look back on and even more to make in the future.

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.
