Thank you for being my home

A Letter To My Roommate After 2 Years Of Living Together
Katie Coviello

Going into freshman year, one of the things I was most worried about was who I was going to live with. I had never had to share a room or a bathroom with anyone else and was worried about making that transition. More than that, I was worried that I would end up with a horrible roommate story that could be spun into a lifetime movie.

And then I met you and I realized that not only did I have nothing to be worried about, but I had so much to be excited about.

The best part of our story, however, is that after one full year of endless sleepovers, we got to do it all over again sophomore year. Though the number on our door may have changed and the building is in a different spot on campus, I still am at home and that is because of you.

A whole nother year of sleepovers has taught me more than I thought was possible. I thought living with you for one year meant that I knew everything about you but that wasn't true. With new memories, new friends, and new drama together we continued to learn more about ourselves and more about each other.

So really, the biggest thing I have to say is thank you. Thank you for continuing to be my friend when I am moody and don't want to talk to you. Thank you for forcing me to talk about things when you know I need to but don't want to. Thank you for taking care of me all of the times I was sick (and for disinfecting the room each time after).

Thank you for closing the blinds when I fall asleep early and forget to. Thank you for all of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner dates on campus or when we're bored of the options and need to order in. Thank you for always supporting me, whether it be when I'm choosing my major, skipping class, or making any bad decision- even when I realize I made the wrong choice I know you will be there anyway.

Thank you for listening to me complain about boys (or the lack thereof) and thanks for agreeing to live with me for the rest of our lives with all of our cats. Thank you for doing dumb things with me, like parkour in the hallway, locking each other out of the room, blaring Sweet Escape in the shower, random dance parties, and turning taking medicine into taking shots. Thank you for letting me tell you dumb jokes or random facts- I know you don't care about them like I do but you listen anyway.

Thank you for all the late night talks. Thank you for making me wash my face when I'm too lazy or really, making me do anything when I'm too lazy. Thank you for forcing me to go out and do something on the days when I really don't feel like it - you were always right. Thank you for making me laugh when I'm mad or upset or stressed.

There are truly so many more things I could thank you for, all of these don't do living with you justice. So thank you for living with me not once, but twice. Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for making this small cinderblock room a home. But most importantly, thank you for being my home. I can't wait for another year of sleepovers with you.

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.

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.
