To My First Roommate

You're always in my head

To My First Roommate

There are some very crazy things that I have realized while being in college and one of them is how you shaped my freshmen year. I just thought I'd write and let everyone know why your roommate fresh out of high school are one the best people you'll meet in your entire life.

First of all, as my first roommate, it was your obligation to be my first friend. By being my first friend, you walked with me through some of my first experiences. Remember that one time when we met some really cool boys and went to Target Takeover and then the Scrimmage with? Not to add, they were probably some of the nicest friends we had in school. Well, I don't think I could have met them, if I wasn't with you. You were there to hype up my crazy which just so happen to get their attention. You were the friend that I could count on to go every where with. You were there with me to explore this new place we had to call our temporary home. Yeah, maybe it didn't compare to our real homes, but you made me comfortable and I like to think I did the same.

Remember the first boy I liked? The first thing I did after I met him, was I texted you. I couldn't wait to let you know that a boy actually stepped foot in our room. Remember when that same boy made me cry. You made me feel like it was okay to be weak sometimes. Our fun never stopped there because we always tried to do everything together. If it wasn't for you I don't think I would have tried out for cheerleading. That would've been a mistake believe it or not. You took care of me and made sure I was always up for class. I'm still sorry my alarm woke you up every day. But I will never be sorry for being your roommate.

Remember when I lost myself in all the bull crap from that year and I didn't sleep in our room for months. I wonder how that made you feel sometimes. I remember when you decided that your roommate would be someone else for the next year. That's when I realized that I wanted to redo my year and take care of you like how you did for me. Be apart of your best experiences. Even though we aren't together anymore and you found you true friends, you will always be in my head. Thanks for the all the laughs, tears, stress, anger, fun, and love.

p.s. you wouldn't believe the year I've had without you there

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.
