A Thank You To My Freshman Year Roommate

I couldn't have made it through this year without you.

A Thank You To My Freshman Year Roommate
Erin Ryan

Thank you for being my number one supporter when I needed it, a best friend when I needed a laugh, and becoming a sister I know I can always turn too. This year I have not only learned to live with somebody, but you have taught me how to be compassionate, forgiving, and strong at the right times. Without each other, I don't know how we could have survived all of the mental breakdowns, guy problems, the countless rants about how we miss our families, and the even more important rants about our precious babies back home: also known as my kitties, and your dogs and cat.

Going into our first year was terrifying and exciting for us both. Looking back, I now laugh at us maneuvering our way through our first class schedules and the crazy social life that we took on as a college students. Throughout this year, I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend nights out (or in with to be honest), eat bagel bites and pizza rolls with, get ready with, laugh with, and talk to all day and night. With all the ups and downs this year has brought us, I am thankful we have learned some very helpful things this past year:

If you find your roommate on twitter, she'll be an A1 roommate.

Suite mates are dangerous if you don't get to know them early.

Boys fucking suck.

Emergency phones are a joke.

Most people are temporary.

Math is fake.

and most importantly,

Ice cream will fix if not all, most of your problems.

I am so saddened that our year of living together is coming to an end this week. But it makes my heart extremely happy to know that I'll always have a friend in WA. Thank you for all the unforgettable memories. I love you to the moon and back!

Lots of love.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
