A "See You Later" To My Old Roommate

Feel free to sleep over every night.

A "See You Later" To My Old Roommate
Facebook

So, I'm not really sure if this is an "I miss you" letter, a "thank you" letter, or a "please stay forever" letter. Honestly, it's a combination of all of the above. I just can't believe that our time as roommates has come to an end. I feel like just yesterday we were meeting for the first time at the beginning of our Freshman year. Now, we're getting closer and closer to our final year in college and it's so sad to not be together under the same roof.

When you live with someone, you truly get to know all of the parts of them, whether it's the good, the bad, or the ugly. I'm so lucky to have had the chance to get to know you. When you see someone every second of every day, you start to take advantage of the opportunity, and you forget just how lucky you are. As my roommate, you were required to get to know all of me. From listening to every single complaint I had, to knowing that the twist top Gatorades are my favorite, you really put up with a lot. Thank you for loving every completely awful part of me and thank you for being my biggest cheerleader.

I know you're just right down the street now and it might seem like I'm overreacting, but it's weird not having you in every single moment of my life. You have such a presence in every situation that you're in. I know it might not seem like a big deal to most people, but I'm still getting used to not having you light up every room of our apartment.

Friends like you don't come around that often. I'm so grateful to have you by my side, even if I can't walk across the hall and jump into your bed anymore. For now, I'm just counting down the days until we are under the same roof once again.

P.S. So when are you coming over for a sleepover?

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.

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.
