Dear Roommate,

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have an amazing day!

Instead of writing a million paragraphs talking about how awesome you are and how much I love you, I’m going to make a list of the top ten things I love about you.

Well, here goes:

1. Your laugh, because it makes my heart happy.

2. Your strength, dedication, and perseverance.

3. Your passion for teaching kids. I can't wait for you to be a teacher! I know you'll be amazing!

4. Your willingness to take a break for ice cream, YouTube videos, or a movie.

5. Your love for and closeness to your family. You have such an incredible relationship with them, and it's awesome.

6. Your love of leggings and for wearing them almost as much as I do.

7. Your love of food, especially ice cream. What would I do without my ice cream buddy?

8. Your love of kids' movies and rom coms. (I love that we can go see them together and it's not weird.)

9. Your love of crafting. I love creating artsy things with you.

10. Your acceptance of me, your crazy roommate. Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me.

I love you more than words can possibly express. Thanks for coming to Heidelberg and somehow finding me. I couldn't do any of this without you. You're not just my roommate, you're my best friend. Happy birthday to the girl who's the Mike to my Sulley. I love you, and have the best birthday ever!

Love,
Your Roomie

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:

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.
