9 Things That Happen When Your Friend Is Your Roommate

You never really know a person until you live together.

When you move in with a friend it can go one of two ways: it either makes your friendship stronger or destroys it completely. For me and my roommate, we definitely got closer after we moved-in together and I believe that is because there are certain things you learn when friends live together.

1. You spend an insane amount of time together

It’s obvious that you spend a lot of time with someone while living with them, but you never really know how much until you actually have to.

2. You learn about each other’s weird habits

My roommate finds it weird that I will eat cereal for almost every meal and eat peanut butter and baloney sandwiches. I find it strange that she owns over 50 shades of lipstick and refers to pop as soda when she is from Ohio.

3. You will walk in on some awkward moments

You’re going to walk in on some strange things.

4. You get really comfortable around each other

Sitting around in running shorts, sports bras, and no make up is pretty much a regular in our apartment. There is no one to impress but each other and at some point you don’t feel the need to anymore.

5. You become each other’s enablers

I keep her from spending her money and she forces me to get my school work done. Although that never lasts very long.

6. You stop caring about how stupid you seem

We once had an entire conversation about how to spell the word ‘tomorrow.’ There is maybe one other person I would not be embarrassed to have that conversation with, it’s just something you get over when you live with one of your friends.

7. You act weird with each other and you don’t care

At one point my roommate put on her middle school playlist in the car and when the ‘Pokemon Rap’ came on she proceeded to sing along and dance to it.

8. You suddenly become a therapist

Boyfriend troubles, parents, siblings; you vent all your frustrations to each other.

9. You start a new mission to find new ways to bug each other

We have thrown things and hit each other with foam swords; all for the sake of boredom and needing something to do.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
