An Appreciation Letter For The Random Roommate That Became My Best Friend

As much as you wanted to smack every time I belted out "High School Musical" songs, thanks for just tuning me out.

An Appreciation Letter For The Random Roommate That Became My Best Friend
Celina Aquino

Dear my most favorite but also least favorite person in the world (depending on the day),

Random roommates are either hit or miss. Not everyone gets lucky with the girls they get paired up with for their housing. I consider myself lucky (I guess) for ending up with you last year. At first, it was rough because we hardly exchanged words, but once we got through the awkward stage, we became the most dynamic duo. I am grateful for having you in my life now.

Not to sound too cheesy or anything, you made the past semester one for the books.

Thank you for being my rock. I appreciate all the times you sat with me while I had a meltdown. You didn't let me deal with my issues by myself. You helped me in any way you could to make every bad situation better. When I felt like I couldn't do it, you were there to encourage me not to give up (even though sometimes we both tend to say "Screw it!' and just binge watch shows to cope). For the times I would be irrational, you talked some sense into me and never let me make regrettable decisions.

You thought I was the voice of reason, but, in reality, it was always you.

Thank you for letting me talk your ear off. I know, I know I talk too much, so I am really thankful you haven't duct taped my mouth yet. In all seriousness, I probably would have lost my sanity if I didn't have you to talk to. I was able to let a lot of things off my chest. I learned to open up more instead of always bottling everything up until I explode.

Thank you for helping me work on myself for the better.

I thought I could do it on my own. You taught me things that I wouldn't have learned by myself. You taught me to listen to people more. You taught me not to take life too seriously. You also showed me how to become a better friend.

Before I forget, thank you for participating in my shenanigans. Your adventurous spirit is one of the many things I admire about you. I couldn't imagine someone else being my partner in crime. Your energy matched my energy. We might have gotten ourselves in a lot of pickles, but now we have really good stories to tell. You already know we are going to make more memories.

Now I know what my dad meant when he told me I would find my person in college. He didn't mean THAT special someone. He meant THAT friend who will stick with you through everything in life. It's you. I cannot wait to annoy you with my friendship for the rest of our lives! I hope you learn to enjoy me randomly singing Disney songs because you're stuck with me forever!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
