Dear Roommate,

First of all, let me say thank you. Thank you for just being who you are. You are a wonderful, unique, fun individual. I've only known you for a short while but my horizons have been expanded because of you.

I didn't choose you. We never met before move-in day, but I couldn't have asked for a better roommate. You're understanding and kind. Plus you're just altogether awesome (what are the odds that the two coolest people would get put together :) ?)

I know I'm not the easiest person to live with. My desk is a mess and I sometimes forget to turn the lights off. Thank you for your patience. I promise I will be patient with you as well. We will find, I'm sure, many things we disagree on, but please know I will always respect you.

I am always here to talk. We may not be able to see each other much because of our schedules, but if you ever need anything, I'm here. And if you ever just need space, I'll respect that too. I may not be your BFF, but know you can always count on me.

I promise to be honest and forgiving. If I have an issue, I'll just tell you. I know you'll do the same. I've heard the horror stories about roommates eating meatloaf at five a.m. I promise that will never EVER happen.

I know you know most of this already because we've talked about it, but I just wanted to thank you again. You're great.

Sincerely,

Sarah

Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.

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:
