Moving into an apartment is an exciting life event, especially if you plan on posting it on Facebook. Rack up those reacts. Living with roommates who are also your friends is fun, but so are rules when they're followed accordingly. Here's a list of essential ground rules and also fun activities to make the most of your apartment experience.


1. Assert your dominance

There's room for creativity here. I'm not saying pee in a corner or anything, but let it be known that you have a portion of control over the household. Labeling your cereal boxes, installing a lock on your Chobani and working out naked in the living room are all suitable shows of force. It's not rude, it's merely showing who makes the loot in this cold, cold world.

2. Do skateboard moves on the couch

I don't skateboard. It's hard and dangerous, like a pop quiz in a wind tunnel. However, I've played enough of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise to see what all the moves look like and they are a blast to perform on the couch. Ever done a Benihana on your couch? What about a McTwist? Well it's never too late to try. Get cracking and soon you'll have the core strength to roll yourself into all sorts of combos. In a year I'll be able to do a 900 without throwing up. Don't do any darkslides, though. At least, not in this house.

3. Make that pudding

It's an American tradition that with every new apartment a pudding feast is held. I don't think my pancreas likes me very much, so my pudding is going to be weird and involve chia seeds to prevent my blood sugar from convincing my pancreas that it's time to let insulin out of his cage. But you? Oh, baby, you gotta go to town. Hit up the grocery store and guide your arm down the pudding shelves, catching all mixes and flavors into your cart. Make sure you have a vat big enough to serve the massive cream. You can also buy packs of pudding, but the optimal experience will stem from making your own pudding with your roommates. Let everyone add their own secret ingredient and see if you can guess what each one is.

4. Start a Riverdale podcast

You know that show Riverdale? I know it, but I don't really know anything about it other than it's based off the Archie Comics characters. Like Jughead. He likes hamburgers a lot. Anyway, I think it would be good if you, your friends, my friends and I each started our own Riverdale podcast. I don't plan on watching the show, so mine will be mainly be about what I think Riverdale is about. From what I haven't seen, it's probably a murder mystery with Archie and the gang trying to figure out who killed somebody. You can do your podcast on the costumes or Jughead.


I'm legit about to do that Riverdale podcast. Goodnight.

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.
