With the semester coming to an end, a sigh of relief and even tears of joy are expressed by all college students across the nation. We can all agree that it hasn't been a straight easy road. College is so far off from the ones you see in movies. Better yet, college has been a very challenging experience, with so many bumps in the road to the point where you contemplate your life choices ... if college really is your thing.
I must say college is hard, and I wouldn't be able to survive this whole semester without my very best friends and especially my roommate ... I mean I live with her. Honestly, living with someone can be complicated. Some change their roommate after a couple weeks at the beginning of the semester, and some get along perfectly. Now I'm going to be realistic, it's never going to be easy, but I was lucky to have my roommate because we built a bond that we will remember and laugh about next year and maybe in the future when we're old and wrinkly. With all things aside, we did it, we made it through our first year together and I just want to take the time to say thank you:
1. For being an amazing cheerleader for every little thing that I do.
For every exam that I have, you never doubted my abilities of passing. Even though I tend to freak out and cry because of how stressed I am with all of the things I have to do on top of having to study, you never fail at being positive and telling me that I can do it.
2. For eating ice cream with me when I should be studying.
Let's just drop everything and walk to the POD and buy ourselves those creamy tasty treats. You can never go wrong with some Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the middle of the night after a long day.
3. For listening to me when I need to vent.
Whether it be about boys and how incredibly frustrating they are, or maybe an unreasonable professor that rained on my parade, or just friends to say the least; you were always on my side. However, you always tell me the honest truth so most of the time despite my endless irrational emotions ... you were my voice of reason.
4. For eating meals with me so I don't have to sit alone in the Cafeteria.
It's going to be inevitable to have to eat alone in the cafe and that's just the reality of things. But I know most of the time when I do text you if you wanted to grab food, you were always down unless you had a class or something important to do.5. For waking me up.
Let's be real, I know you were annoyed
6. For doing my makeup.
I was blessed to have a roommate that's amazing at doing her makeup. Now I have zero knowledge in the world of makeup. I didn't even know that there was such thing as "contouring". Now that right there is talent, so thank you for saving me that one night during Halloween weekend when I had no idea how I was gonna do my makeup.
7. For laughing at my jokes.
I know I have the tendency to be a little nutty when I have had a long day, but you never fail to laugh at my jokes (no matter how nutty it is) whenever I crack them.
8. For spending the night with me and watching Netflix.
You preferred staying in with me and watching Netflix, rather than going out and possibly suffer from a really bad hangover. But there's just an
9. For being a friend.
Coming in as
If you think about it, living with someone can be fun, but it's not always going to be rainbows and unicorns. There were days where we barely even said a word to each other because we all have different lives. But I must say we survived and we did it. There's no doubt that we will continue to be friends for the rest of our lives and I will cherish those little memories as this chapter comes to a close. Thank you so much, roomie. Now let's enjoy our summer, and we'll see each other soon!
