An Open Letter To My College Roommate

College would suck without you.

Hey,

Every part of me wanted to start writing the lyrics to 'Closer' but I had to hold myself back. I want to take this time to acknowledge you and our beautiful friendship, and all of our stupid jokes and insiders and remind you just why I love you and our friendship so much.

Since the beginning, way back when we met on facebook, I was so skeptical of you. I would say no offense, but you already know what I mean. But seriously, we were/are so compatible, there had to have been a catch somewhere along the lines. At least that's what I thought because why would I be so lucky to get a normal, amazing roommate right off the bat? Well, since we've met it's been quite the adventure and we're only halfway through the year.

Thank you for jamming out with me, even so hard we got a noise complaint that one night because we were dancing so hard we made their desks shake! Also thanks for having the same music taste as me, it's comforting to know I could throw on an old Hannah Montana song, or some random indie band and you'll know every word just as well as I do. Thank you for going on drives with me wherever I go, it really sucks without you. Also, thanks for being my crazy dance partner while we're out, I don't know what I would do without our spontaneous synchronized dance moves.

College has helped me blossom in so many ways, it allowed me to be who I've always wanted to be, and honestly you have helped with that so much. We have both grown so much in the time we've lived together already, and we still have so many more experiences to come. Shout out to you for always supporting me and my decisions, it's only fair we support each other because, well, we do live together and that would just be awkward, plus even if the decision we're supporting is bad, we get one hell of a story out of it.

I'll never forget when we combined our beds to make one big bed for cuddling and movie night, or the time where you had me parallel park your car. I'll also never forget how much stuff you brought back to school after our four day weekend, only because I had to carry a lot of it and my arms are still sore. I'm kidding, but you do over pack, luckily, more than me, so I'm allowed to call you out on it. Let us also not forget all the weird boys we've met who we've turned their first names into last names and their new first names are 'Creepy.'

There's nothing I love more than our late night talks about getting married one day, our careers (if I ever make up my mind), and whatever we can really think of. It's always nice to have you right across the room to complain to, even if it's just about the fact that I feel so bloated to the point that people might mistake me for a cow. There's nobody else I would want to get lost with while walking around campus to find our new classes.

There are a million other things that I could bring up, but I felt that these were definitely worth mentioning. Thank you for not only being the best college roommate anyone could ask for, but being my best friend. You're my number one and I don't know what I would do without you. I cannot wait to experience so many more things with you and have you by my side for the rest of my college life.

Love,

Your best friend

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
