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

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
