To My Roommate

Who else could put up with me?

Dear Jocelyn,

Where do I start? I've been meaning to thank you for so long. At the beginning of this school year, I felt stressed and worried about my living situation. I needed to move, and there were only a couple of options. When I came to Reynolds, I knew it was the right place for me. When we walked up to your door, you were trying to get your key out while holding a stack of books. You were so nice to me, and showed my family and I in. I knew you'd be the right person for a roommate as soon as I met you. We swapped Instagram's, and the rest was history.

I never really had friends up until then. I'm a really shy person, and I'm not very social. But when I lost my first group of friends, you were there for me. You introduced me to our silly group of friends, people who are just as amazing as you are. We've had so many adventures, from the movies to girls nights. I wouldn't have met everyone I know, so thank you.

You made the room a comfortable place for me, unlike what I had before. You let me make the room my own, and hang up my many posters on the wall. You put up with having me on the top bunk, and complaining when I'm tired.

You always make me laugh, and I love to joke around with you. You let me watch all my weird shows, some even for extended periods of time. Winding down to the TV is a great way to relax after a long day of classes.

I know I'm crazy, and you know that too. Thank you for putting up with me, and being my constant supporter through homework, exams, and just life in college. I feel like you the PB to my J, and the butter to my bread. I'm so happy I met you, because I can't imagine college without the group's hour long dinners.

I'm on my top bunk writing this, and getting weirdly emotional. I would've had no true friends if it weren't for you, so thanks. Thank you for being you, and being my college bestie.

I don't know if I would've survived college without you. Honestly. It's weird to think that this year is almost over, but I can't wait for Round 2 of rooming again next year.

Thank you, a million times over, for letting me be your roommate! You really, truly, saved my life.

Love,

Maddie (Room 202 4 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.

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.
