Thank You To My First-Year Roommate

To my most amazing roomie,

When I first got to UVA, I was so nervous about everything associated with college. Making new friends, going to classes, having to live with dining hall food for a year, etc. But, after the first day of getting to know you, I became a lot less anxious and a lot more excited because I knew that I would have an amazing friend on grounds. From that moment on, we were able to conquer first-year together.

Throughout our first year, we have shared so many incredible memories. We have been to concerts and parties together, have had lots of dining hall dinners, and have both started a journey with faith through Chi Alpha. We have talked endlessly about basically everything and have had a ton of late-night dance parties and movie nights in the dorm. We have survived all of the ups and downs of first-year and have supported each other through it all.

I hope that you know that you are such an incredible person. You are so kind, compassionate, smart, funny, strong, encouraging, and beautiful. I love all of the funny stories that you tell, how you can jump at the smallest thing in a movie, love jamming out to music, and are a beast at basically every sport. I love how passionate you can be, how much you care for your friends and family, and how you are always willing to try new things. You have already done wonderful things with your life, and I know that you are going to do even more in the future.

Thank you for everything that you have done for me in my first year of college. Thank you for always supporting me and making my days brighter. Thank you for being my first friend at college and for being my best friend throughout this year. We may not be roommates next year, but I know that we will still always hang out and go on new adventures together. I am so so grateful that I have had you as my roommate, and I am even more blessed to have you as one of my best friends.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
