An Open Letter To My Roommate

Thanks for the fun, the laughs, the support, and the chocolate chip pancakes.

An Open Letter To My Roommate
Her Campus

Dear Brianna,

Over the past 4 months of being roommates, it has been full of fun, laughs and support. When we decided to be roommates we didn’t know each other very well, but I have been so fortunate to get to know you. Now that we have been together for this adventure, I cannot imagine living with anyone else. Thank you for always being there with a smile and putting up with all of my craziness.

At first neither of us really knew what we were getting into, just that we were new AGD sisters with a shared love of band and The Flash. Once we moved in together, it was obvious that we make great roommates. I’m lucky to have found a friend who is just as weird and geeky as I am, with a love of BBC shows, Marvel, reading, musicals, etc. We had our “Did we just become best friends” moment almost as soon as we moved in when we realized we were in almost all of the same fandoms. Something brought us together and now I don’t think anything can tear us apart. Not even if The Doctor decided only one of us could travel with him. Actually maybe not. Sorry, not sorry.

It doesn’t feel like we have been living together for 4 months, but it really has been a full semester. There’s been weekends of adventure where we go out and do fun things for a change. We have had lots of nights of homework and stressing where we somehow manage to pull through. Thank you for helping me relax and take a few seconds to just chill. We watched a lot of DC shows, and a lot of Netflix. Plus a lot of chocolate chip pancakes.

You are my mom away from home, you take care of me even though you don’t have to. Making sure I don’t stay out too late, and I eat enough food. And the right food, some of the time anyway. Asking how my day went, or what I have to do for the rest of the night. Its nice to have someone that looks out for me. Thank you for caring for me, even when I don’t realize I need it.

I don’t know how you put up with me, I am definitely not an easy person. I laugh way too much and way too loud. I snore. I never leave my bed. Sometimes I have a little bit too much energy (if an awake bar happens to affect me badly), or too little. Sometimes you can be a handful though, too. Like those nights when it's 2 am and you can’t stop talking. But it's not just you, it's both of us, babbling in our giddy, giggly voices, exhausted but so giggly we have talk it out.

Having someone there to always have a laugh, or a cry with makes a big difference when I am stressed out and panicking. I hope that I make as much as a difference in your life as you do in mine. Thank you for being one of my best friends, and the best roommate a girl could ask for.

Thanks for sticking with me for so long and being such an incredible friend. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our roommate years have in store.

Loyally,

Your Loving and Annoying 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.

Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.
