Apologies And Thanks To My Freshman Year Roommate

I really am sorry for the rugs, and not so much for the cheetos.

Apologies And Thanks To My Freshman Year Roommate
kari

The day I got my college acceptance letter was easily one of the best days of my life up to that point. I immediately started imagining all of the experiences I would have, and all of the ways that I could get involved on campus. The experience of living in a dorm though was the one that I was most excited about.

After much convincing, I finally got a friend from high school to apply to Saint Leo university. I am so happy I decided to because when she got accepted as well, I was more than thrilled. When it came time to pick roommates, we talked about it and finally decided that we could room together.As I just completed my freshman year I realized that I was so thankful that I got to spend my first year in a dorm with one of my closest friends.

However, there are some things I need to thank you for, but also some that I need to apologize for.

1. Thank you for always putting up with my incessant talking

Even when I am almost certain you wanted to just tell me to be quiet for once.

2. Thank You for the late night food runs

Everyone knows that burgers taste better at 2 a.m.

3. Sorry for always eating your Cheetos.

They were really good, to be honest.

4. Sorry for always coming back to the dorm so late.

That cat is an actual representation of you when I would walk in at three in the morning. Dirty look and all.

5. Sorry for barreling out of the room in the morning leaving a mess in my wake every time.

I was always in a rush

7. Sorry for always dragging you to events you usually did not want to go to.

I think you secretly had fun though.

8. Thank you for all the advice.

Even if it was unsolicited.

9. Sorry for leaving my craft stuff all over the place (including your side of the room)

I felt like your side was easier to do my crafts on.

10. Sorry for all the glitter (that usually stuck to your face)

I am addicted I cant help it.

11. Sorry for getting paint all over not one rug but two.

I really am sorry for that

12. Thank you for making every night feel like a sleepover.

13. Thank you for your hair that was all over the floor

If you couldn't tell that was sarcastic

14. Sorry for watching the same TV show for hours on end.

I had to know what happens next

15. Thank you for making sure my fish didn't die

I don't know why i could never remember to feed them,I hope they will last next year without you.

16. Sorry for the craziness you had to experience throughout my recruitment week

.

So many emotions mixed with no sleep, not the most roommate friendly combination

17. Most of all thank you for being you and spending freshman year as my roommate.

Even though you drove me crazy more often than not, I will miss you so much next year.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
