Things all froomies should know.

To My Future Roommates
Favim

Dear Froomies,

With our move in date right around the corner I thought I would write to tell you about the love and excitement I have for us. I want to begin by saying I am relieved that we are not "random roomies." After hearing many random roommate horror stories, I am terrified to even be in that situation. I feel once you live with someone the value you have for one another deepens and you are able to do things you won’t be able to do around anyone else.

I can’t wait for girl’s nights where we don’t have to move from the couch because we are already with our girls. I can’t wait to watch each other grow as the semesters pass, always knowing that we will be there for one another for every exam, project and whatever obstacle we run into during college. Introducing each other to our families, and planning trips to go back to each others’ hometowns, with unexpected road trips, basically always having one another's company, a person to be with. After a long day, I will always be there for you. Hearing your rants on why you hate this professor, why you just want to marry a rich, or when you just want to cry I will be there to hand you over tissues and touch up your makeup. Through all of the ups and downs we may have in life I want you to know that I will always hold your hand every step of the way.

I hope that some day you will be a part of my wedding. Since we all know that some day we will be giggling and planning "the big day.” I want to have so many pictures of us together that it is ridiculous, but perfect when we need a picture to frame. I want you to always know that you have a shoulder to cry on or a person to depend on when you get a flat tire, or when we need to recap the night we had before. We have reached the time in our lives where we are no longer children, but young adults. Attacking the world alone is scary, but know that you will not be alone, you will have me every step of the way. When you introduce me to boys, know that it is my duty to embarrass you and act as a proud mom. For every heartbreak or stupid boy you meet just know that I will be the first to make him regret what he did, I mean that in the most non-crazy way that I can (or not).

I can’t wait to look back at the times we share, when we are no longer in college, to think how we helped each other grow into the women we become. Even on days when we have had enough of one another, or just need some space. Please know that no matter what, I chose you to be a roommate with me for a reason. That reason is because you bring out the best in me, you are my right-hand girl, a great friend and someone I want to know for a lifetime.

XOXO,

Froomie

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.
