Roomie,

I know this is long overdue, but I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I appreciate all that you have done for me. We share more than just a room, we share memories, laughter, tears, music, and most importantly - we share this journey through college. I know this list doesn't depict how truly grateful I am to have you, but here are some things I really want to thank you for:

1. Being my support system

Some days (probably most) are harder than the others. Thank you for talking me out of my impending mental breakdowns.

2. Being my partner in crime

From scheming, plotting and planning adventures, you've always been my partner in crime. Honestly, we're a dynamic duo. Watch out world!

3. Being my favorite date

From breakfast to lunch to dinner, I can always count on you to be my date.

4. The late-night car rides

We've contemplated running away more times than I can count, but instead, we always end up driving down some unfamiliar road in the middle of the night, music blaring, singing at the top of our lungs. I don't know why people spend hundreds of dollars on therapy when a car ride with your best friend is free.

5. All the advice

School work, boys, outfits, life-altering decisions. . . you've always offered me advice. I can't thank you enough that. You don't always tell me what I want to hear, but you tell me what I need to hear.

6. Being a shoulder to cry on

You've seen me cry on more than one occasion, and every time you've been there to help me through it. You don't even need to know the context of my breakdown to know exactly how to make me feel better. Whether that be just sitting with me while I have a moment, holding my hand, giving me a hug, or telling me something funny to try and get me to laugh.

7. Being my own personal "hype man"

You give the best pep talks. You hype me up before a big exam/presentation. You boost my confidence when I need it the most. Even the simple "you can do it" helps me through most days.

8. My favorite memories

We were friends before we were roommates, so our memories go far beyond sharing a room. I can associate almost all of my favorite college memories with you, because like I said before, you are my partner in crime.

9. The endless sleepovers

Every night is a sleepover with my best friend. Can't get much better than that!

10. Being my best friend

You are more than just the girl I share a room with. You are my best friend. College is stressful, life is stressful, but at least we get to be stressed together. Thank you for putting up with me on my bad days, and thriving with me on my good days. Life is so much better with you in it, and for that I thank you!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
