Thank You To My Roommate

Blessed be the good roomies.

Thank You To My Roommate
Alivia Sandberg

College is hard and we have all heard the stories about the horrible roommates of the world, but how often do we hear about the good ones. I was lucky enough to win the roommate lottery and found a roommate, and a friend in a girl that I lived with on a whim. Now as our second year hits us like a ton of bricks, we are looking for houses, like real-life adults or something. A big thank you goes to my roommate, who is so incredibly tolerable that I'm signing on for two more years with her.

Dear Roomie,

Thank you for taking a gamble on a girl you met playing club volleyball. You only knew me for the mess I was after a day on the court, now you know the mess I am after a day in class and you still put up with me. We have come so far from the scared freshman that cried together our first two nights in the dorm.

Thank you for being patient with me, even when you have to remind me three times that it's my turn to clean the bathroom. You are nice to me during breakdowns, and always willing to get ice cream or watch Grey's Anatomy. You let me leave the light on when I want to stay up reading, and don't tease me when I play my show tunes while I shower. You study so hard and I have gotten to watch your hard work pay off which is honestly so much fun for me.

Thank you for weekly movie nights, and family dinners when we are missing our own. People underestimate how close you can get to someone over the course of the year but sharing a tiny space with you has made me closer with you than almost anyone. You have become such a constant in my life, which no one expects of a teammate they usually see once a week but I could not thank you enough for the long nights of laughing and stressing about tests, then laughing some more.

Thank you for being the best roomie I could ask for.

Love,

Your former, current and future roommate

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
