Hi girlie!

First of all, I wanted to say that I was really wrong about you. When I first found your Instagram I was really nervous because you were so pretty AND a gymnast?? Full disclosure I assumed you would not be very nice. But wow was I wrong!! You are one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met! Throughout the year, you have been so kind and I am really glad we were put together.

Throughout the year, I have grown progressively more comfortable relaying all my problems and stories to you. I’m sure there are some days where you are definitely not interested in how slow the person was walking in front of me or the annoying person who wouldn’t stop giving their opinion in class. However, I appreciate it. A lot. It is really nice to be able to vent to an unbiased person and to someone who is on my side. I know that we both have our share of stories so it’s cool to be able to catch up with you each day on the wild or boring days we had.

In addition, I also feel so blessed that we have similar interests and personalities. The amount of times we talk about Jenna Marbles videos and New Girl and our similar levels of introvertedness is incredible. It is so fun to be able to sit and watch YouTube for hours with a roommate who won’t judge me because we are doing the same thing. Plus, we can get excited about milestones AND introduce each other to cool channels! I love texting you about all the gossip and my weird dreams about YouTubers and you don't think it's weird.

Also, I really appreciate you taking care of my plants for me. I am honestly the worst plant mother ever, and you have really helped me keep my plants alive. If it weren’t for you, not only would I not buy plants but they also would not be living. I cannot WAIT to grow the family next year!

Lastly, I want to say how excited I am that you wanted to room with me again next year. There have been a good amount of people that are not interested in rooming with their same roommate again, so for us to be lucky enough to not only want to room together, but also already be excited about designing the room and deciding what will be on our windowsill makes me feel so much more excited to come back to school.

Thank you for being one of my few close friends here at college. I had a hard time deciding to come to college in the first place because I was afraid that I would be really bad at making friends. You made it so easy. I really really appreciate it, and I am so excited to come back and hang out with you next year!!

Your current roommate and froomie,

Molly <33

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
