A Goodbye Letter To My First Roommate

Can you just live under my bed next year?

A Goodbye Letter To My First Roommate
Alyssa Tite

Dear Roomie,

Freshman year is coming to an end, can you believe it? Our sweet little dorm room is about to be emptied out, wiped clean of all of our memories and given to a new set of freshman eager to embark on their college career. These memories may be emptied from this room, but they will never be emptied from my heart.

I'm going to miss our late night conversations in the dark about nothing. Even though most of the time I doze off while you're talking. Thanks, again, for not getting mad about that. It's these little conversations that remind me that you're more than just my roommate... You are my absolute best friend.

I'm going to miss doing everything with you. We walk to class together, get ready together, ride to chapter together, make poor food choices together, etc. You really are my other half. Please don't be mad when I call you next year and ask you to come over and order pizza with me. Even though we're going to be one year older, it doesn't mean we're going to be one year wiser.

I'm going to miss your antics. You're the silliest, happiest, brightest person I've ever met. Being all alone in my apartment bedroom with no one to sing to, make jokes to or take stupid pictures of is going to be weird. Can you just live under my bed?

I'm going to miss having a built-in social worker. You've helped me through breakups, exams, sleepless nights and so much more. You've told me when my outfit looked stupid, and also told me when I looked absolutely smoking hot. You've brought me up when I was down and kept me up when I was up. Thank you so much for that.

Most of all, I'm going to miss us. We are young, naive freshman. We have so many responsibilities ahead of us. I'm going to miss being young and crazy with you. Promise me we'll be a package deal forever, even when we're big, bad sophomores?

Sincerely,

Your roommate

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
