Sometimes a random roommate is a recipe for a disasterous semester.

Fortunately enough, my random roommate has been a massive, massive blessing in my life. Her, my other roommate and I have the best times together and honestly, I can't imagine doing college without them this semester.

If you're lucky enough to live with your best friends, you know these eleven things are a daily occurrence in making life the best it can be.

1. Every meal is an ordeal.

One roommate is gluten free. Money is an issue. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. We all have different favorites. Whether we go out or cook a meal, there's never a dull moment.

2. You can't go out in public without making a scene.

My roommate and I were in line to get lunch the other day, and the boy in front of us legitimately looked scared and laughed at us as he walked away.

3. You have a group chat dedicated to your daily struggles.

Life is hard, but it's slightly more manageable when you have a constant team to build you up on those bad days.

4. Everyone knows when you've been separated too long.

You get cranky and sit at home on the couch waiting for that door to open so you have someone to vent to other than the wall.

5. Your secrets aren't secrets anymore.

I feel like this may just be me and my roommates, but I'm not kidding when I say they know everything about me. Take it as it is, but it makes life hilarious and we have tons of fun with it because it gives us all these inside jokes.

6. The living room is a true living room.

Often if roommates don't get along, a common living space is wasted. Our living room is used so often and is probably the most well-decorated room in our apartment; It doesn't matter if we're doing homework, having a movie night or a game night.

7. You always have someone to investigate a weird pimple.

It happens to the best of us, ok?

8. Laughter is a constant. So is crying.

We share the good, the bad, and the ugly and it makes for the best of times.

9. Family dinners are the best dinners.

There is nothing I love more than having dinner with everyone. During the day, we're all frequently busy with school and extracurriculars, even on the weekend. So having family dinners is a major highlight of my week.

10. Any time apart is too much.

I legitimately miss my roommates constantly; like right now, I'm not with them and I'm genuinely sad and can't wait to go home.

11. The most minuscule things are absolutely hysterical.

"She's gonna eat the taco AND the bell!"

I consider myself so lucky to have the roommates I do. There is nothing better than going home every day to your favorite people and so many laughs.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.
