The 15 Things You Share As Roommates

Whether you live with one other person, five other people, or a group of 15, as a college students you know what it is like to share just about everything with your roommates. From clothes, to food, to life, your roommates are the ones who have all the cute rompers, late night gooey-fudge cookies, and advice to get you through each week. Yes, there are those never-ending battles about who lost your favorite little black dress, and you can't forget about who took the last piece of cheese, but overall, you learn that living with these other people truly teaches you how to care and share…

  1. Fruit…. honestly its probably a good things since it goes bad so quickly to begin with.
  2. Clothes…from dresses, to work out pants, to underwear (yes, its happened) closets are open to anyone you live with.
  3. Jewelry…those big gold hoops are meant to be shared with the world.
  4. Products…. hair spray, shampoo, deodorant, you name it. Somewhere along the line you and your roommates will have all used the same product, maybe even in the same night.
  5. Perfume…we all need to smell good, don’t we?
  6. Secrets…roommates are so much more than roommates, they’re best friends and second family. If they didn’t know all your deep and dirty life secrets, living with them would never be as fun.
  7. Pizza…. that one roommates to treat to late night pizza is a GOD.
  8. Advice…without the help from friends, how would we know about the stupid boy that’s a shady player, or the lucky numbers to pick for that weeks lottery poll.
  9. Boyfriends…not physically, but mentally, as roommates, we're all comfortable enough to cuddle up with someone’s man and it be completely accepted.
  10. Snacks…Cheese-itz, pretzels, Doritos, Oreos, the list goes on forever. Everyone in the house has different tastes and that’s the best part about it.
  11. Chores…the house has to stay clean somehow, and when everyone does their part it makes life so much easier.
  12. Homework…. getting good grades is the most important thing in college, and having your roommates help you with it can overall help your GPA by a landslide.
  13. Families…getting so unbelievably close with the people you live with is inevitable. Their family becomes yours and vice versa.
  14. Anything regarding hair…losing hair-ties is a normalcy when you are constantly sharing them with six other people.
15. Alcohol…what is the point of having fun if it cant be with your best friends.

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.
