My Roommate And I Got Retweeted And Regrammed By Deb And Napoleon Dynamite

And I am still in shock six months later.

My Roommate And I Got Retweeted And Regrammed By Deb And Napoleon Dynamite

I should probably preface this story by saying that my roommate and I are huge movie buffs. I think the word huge is even an understatement. I should also probably tell you that my roommate and I always go big or go home. Every themed party we've ever been to, we've shown up dressed to impress, and I think it's safe to say that we always had the best costumes.

Now, seeing as my roommate is graduating this semester, we had to make this year one for the books. Last Halloween, my roommate and I felt like we needed to take our costumes to the next level. We went through (what felt like) an infinite amount of ideas before we made the final decisions for our Halloweekend. Naturally, of course, we did a costume duo for one of the days, and we picked Napoleon Dynamite and Tina.

Obviously, we had to post this picture on Instagram to capture this glorious moment in time. I took my account of off private to tag both of them in the photo hoping that Deb or Napoleon would notice and would like the photo. Then, it actually happened. Deb liked my photo.

As I was scrolling through my likes, I came across her name. At the time, it didn't resonate with me that it was actually her, so I just scrolled past it. It took me a minute or two before I scrolled back up, and then it finally hit me. Deb from "Napoleon Dynamite" just liked my photo of me dressed as her. I casually freaked out and started jumping up and down in my room. My roommate (the one standing next to me in the photo) looked at me like I was on crazy pills, but I didn't care.

I had to tweet it out to express my excitement, of course.

Then I got a notification that she re-tweeted me.

Yup, this happened. At this moment, I thought my life was eternally complete. But then, one of my other roommates proceeded to comment on her retweet to tell her I was in my apartment jumping up and down in excitement. She probably thought I was some crazy, weird fan, but I didn't care. Deb just retweeted me -- what could be better than that?

A few hours later, I decided to scroll my likes again to see if Jon Heder (Napoleon) had liked my photo, but no luck. I then went on to his Instagram to see if he had posted anything, and there I was standing next to my roommate on his Instagram page.

I had been retweeted by Tina Majorino and regrammed by Jon Heder in the same day. Now my life was eternally complete. This was hands down one of the best Halloween's I've ever had.

As we are nearing the end of the semester, it's sad to say that my roommate shenanigans and endeavors are coming to an end, but I will always remember all of the good times we shared.

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.

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.
