To my First Roommate,

I am and will forever be thankful for you. In just nine months, you became one of my closest friends. You have seen me at my best and my worst. So I thought I should thank you for everything you've done for me.

1. Thank you for putting up with my mess.

I know that I am not the cleanest person out there, but not one time did you complain when my clothes were all over the floor.

2. Thank you for sharing my love of all things Disney.

There is no one else that I would want to sing the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack at 11 p.m. with.

3. Thank you for listening to all of my daily/nightly rants.

I am not sure what I would have done if you hadn't been willing to listen to me rant about the various things that happened on a particular day, so an extra thank you for that!

4. Thank you for sharing your food with me.

You saved me many trips to the store and I am forever thankful for that!

5. Thank you for always wishing me good luck.

You never failed to wish my good luck on tests and interviews. I'm really going to miss those next year.

6. Thank you for sharing school supplies with me.

Just like the food, you saved my butt many times just by lending me a pencil. My grades are thankful for you.

7. Thank you for putting up all of my alarms.

Most people cannot stand how many alarms I set in the morning so thank you for not being like most.

8. Thank you for bringing me toilet paper when we ran out.

Countless times I ran out of toilet paper and you were always there to the rescue. You're like a real-life superhero!

9. Thank you for ugly crying with me while watching Nicholas Sparks movies.

We all need a friend who is willing to that with us. Now we know how many boxes of tissues we need.

10. Thank you for picking me up after I got a bad grade.

Those days meant more to me than you will ever know.

11. Thank you for not judging me for not doing my laundry every week.

Never did you make a nasty face when I said I wasn't doing laundry. You understood how obnoxious it was to walk down two flights of steps to actually do it and knew I was too lazy to do it most weeks.

12. Thank you for being my personal stylist.

You and I both know I know little about fashion. So thank you for putting up with the constant, "you sure this looks okay?" questions.

13. Thank you for letting me borrow clothes.

Again you were a superhero and lifesaver in that department too!

14. Most importantly, thank you for making the college transition so much better!

Without you, I don't know if I would have been able to get through this year. You have quickly become like the sister that I never had. I know there are so many things that I could thank you for and I'll just send you a text when I think of them! I can't wait to see where life takes us!

With Much Love,

Your First Roommate

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.

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

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
