10 Things You Know If Your Roommate Is A College Athlete
Celina Leggiere

Some roommates are chosen. Some roommates are assigned.

Usually, it's the assigned ones that end up driving you nuts, are total slobs or have weird habits and a funky lifestyle. Mine, on the other hand, is the opposite and I have nothing but sports and her family to thank for the person she is. She is a goal driven, hard working, mind over matter, a "get up I'm taking you to the gym" kind of roommate.

The kind that though she was assigned to you and you to her she had no problem putting herself out there to become your best friend. Before she knew me well she showed great excitement to live with me.

The roommate that is bluntly honest with you and pushes you to be the best version of yourself and not just physically. The roommate that sneaks home food from the "athlete only dining hall" so you can eat well too at night.

Now she's not just my roommate, she is not just an athlete, she's my best friend and I'm her biggest fan.

1. They are very much morning people

They're always waking up early for workouts or practices. They are very self-disciplined to going to sleep at decent hour. Something we all envy.

2. They Shower A lot!

As busy and as sweaty as they always are they value their shower time and they do it very often like it's a form of therapy.

3. They eat very healthy

Whether they are whipping up something in the kitchen, or bringing home steak and potatoes from their dining hall, they are dedicated to eating healthy. They also drink water like they are fish.

4. They are very good motivational/inspirational speakers

5. You have to make appointments with them to hang out

Their schedule is CRAZY. Usually by the time they are home and relaxing they are pooped and wanting to get some good sleep. If you want quality time, dinner, lunch, coffee, make an appointment 3-5 days ahead of time.

6. When you found out you were rooming with an athlete you fangirled hard.

"Whoa, you play sports here? That's so cool. Like you're famous! Which automatically means I'm kind of famous too."

7. Play Wrestling is Dangerous

They are all muscle, so unless you want to land on your butt or get a concussion by hitting your head on their calf don't mess with them.

8. Sometimes their bodies make weird noises.

Cracking their back sounds like walking on bubble wrap. They are double jointed literally everywhere it seems.

9. You never have to pay to watch them play

If they love you and Y'all are best friends and not just roommates you get some benefits like being on the Pass List just like family.

10. You're their biggest fan! (Other than their family)

You're the loudest at their games, Over the top making signs/posters. Telling everyone around you "number _____ is my roommate!" And making everyone cheer them on too.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
