A Letter To My Roommate

Whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.

A Letter To My Roommate
Andrea Bowers

Dearest roommate,

First of all, I want you to know that you’re so much more than my roommate. You’re my best friend.

I enjoy all of our adventures and I look forward to all of the adventures we will have in the future. These are the times I know we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.

Thank you for putting up with me when I’m moody and cranky. Thank you for giving me the best advice I could ever ask for. Thank you for not being afraid to tell me what you really think about something. Thank you for being the sister I never had.

Also, thank you for treating my family like your own. It means the world to me and to them.

We’ve been through so much together. Everything from being upset because we thought we didn’t do well on a test to being up until 2 am dying my hair. It’s the little things that mean the most.

Sometimes I think about how my life would be different if I had gone to another college or I had never met you. I can’t imagine my life without you, and I sure don’t like to think about it. Life would be boring without you.

I’ve only known you for a year, but I feel like I’ve known you for a lifetime. We’ve told each other so much that I forget I wasn’t there for some of the major events of your life.

Thank you for always believing in me. We know we won’t do well on our tests if we don’t tell each other how much we believe in each other beforehand. Your confidence in me pushes me on.

You always know just what I need to hear. You know how to cheer me up. You know just when to send me that funny picture you found online. Even when you aren’t with me, it’s like you have a sensor that tells you when I could use a pick-me-up.

You’re just like me, and that’s pretty uncommon. I have never met someone more like me than you. It’s scary and crazy, but it’s also pretty cool. I mean, how many people can honestly say that they say things at the exact same time as their roommate? Same words, same tone, all in sync.

I’m so lucky to have met you. Like I said, without you, life would be boring. Who else would push me to study but not push me to my limit? Who else would watch movies with me at midnight because we can’t sleep? Who else would I do EVERYTHING with? More importantly, who would be there for me, regardless of the time, issue, or place, when I needed them most?

In the time we’ve known each other, life has been crazy and messy. It’s been spontaneous and wild. It’s been fun and beautiful. There’s no one else I’d rather do college with.

So, here’s to all the late nights when we laugh and talk all night, all the evil plots we never go through with, all the secrets we’ve shared, and all the things we’ll do in the future.

Love,

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.

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.
