For The College Roommate Who Is Everyone's Else's #RoommateGoals

To my first college roommate at Florida Gulf Coast University,

WOW. You and I have embraced each other's constellations. A collision of zodiacs, Cancer meets Aries in the midst of mental break down. We have cried, listened, supported, loved, and healed one another this school year. Two exotic seeds were planted in different soil and traveled through many pods to bloom in the same garden today.

We have tended to each other's wilting roots, watered them with love and laughter in between COIN dance sessions in the common area. An iconic duo making the best of our first year of college.

Oh, my dear, "SOUP," you have grown into such a strong young woman. I have watched you fight the toughest of battles and still find a way to brighten someone's day with your kindness. Our late night tea time will be something I cherish forever. As we cry and then hype each other up with some Lizzo bops after a stupid guy tries to break our heart.

And that is what I love about you most, you keep moving on and living your life for you. That is the most significant thing in life- doing what makes you happy and I watch you do this every day. Waking up to your music blaring as you dance like no one's watching. I may not be watching but I can hear your movement through the thin Sovi walls as you jump up and down ready to make the day the best day you've ever had.

I want you to take pride in that not everyone has your spontaneity so hold on to that. You are you and that is your superpower. I am eternally grateful for you. You brought me out of the dark at a time when I never thought I would see the sun again. Thank you for encouraging me to love and take care of myself. You are a blessing, my girl. I am going to miss living in this dorm that we have made into our little home. It will be weird not running over to each other's room to drop the latest news or even say good morning but this bond we have is unbreakable, none of your apocalypse theories will corrupt this garden we have grown at FGCU.

Keep blooming, my Cancer goddess.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
