5 Reasons Why I Wouldn't Trade Living With My Best Friends For The World
Grace Jones

Starting out my Freshman year of college I had many people from my hometown never tell me to live with girls that I am close with but I went against their advice and it was the best decision I've ever made. In my sophomore year, I moved in with 3 of my best friends, and ever since then, we have been inseparable.

1. You learn life lessons with one another.

Whether its lessons in the kitchen teaching one another how to not set the smoke alarm off from burning food or how to change a lightbulb in the ceiling fan, these are silly little memories that I never take for granted. Whether its a life lesson about heartbreak or challenging one another to do better in a class we are always cheering one another to be not only a better student but better people all around.

2. You always have a shoulder to cry on.

My roommates have held one another through many heartbreaks, deaths, and even tears of happiness. At the lowest moments of my college career, I could always count on coming home to my roommates holding me while I cry but then doing everything in their power to make me happy which usually meant going on ice cream dates.

3. They are always up for spontaneous adventures.

My roommates and I have always had spontaneous adventures from late-night fast food runs to weekend getaways. We have always done everything together. You always have someone to make grocery store trips fun and someone to force you to go to the gym with them when you don't want to. You never feel alone in anything you do and these people have truly become sisters to me.

4. They will always cheer you on and be your biggest fan.

In my college career, I have changed my major more than 4 times.. but my roommates were always there supporting me, telling me that I would find something I love. We help one another with college entrance essays, upcoming finals, and final papers. Not only do we support one another in school but we support one another find jobs, in relationships, and in many other aspects of our lives. I can always count on them to be there for me.

5. You always have people to celebrate with.

From celebrating small victories in our lives such as getting an A on a test or big events such as birthdays and Christmas. Some of my favorite memories from college are packing our friends into our tiny college apartment to celebrate Thanksgiving. Every Thursday night was board game night or card night. These are days that I wouldn't trade for the world.


My roommates and I have lived together for the past 2 years and are living together again this year. I have made so many memories with this small group of friends. They have been not only my best friends but are more like family to me. These are the girls that will be beside me on my wedding day and will be the "aunts" to my future children.

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.

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.
