Dear Roomie,

I still can't believe that we became roommates in October and weren't originally selected for each other. The thought of us not being roommates at all this year confuses me because I have no idea where I would be without you. The day that I realized my first roommate wasn't going to work out, I was scared and uneasy about what was to come.

But, I'm beyond glad that realization crossed my mind because in just a few short weeks I would be meeting one of my best friends. Little did I know, there was someone just a floor above me struggling in the same way that I was. Something in the back of my head continuously told me that things were going to be okay and it was time to talk to my resident assistant.

After talking to my resident assistant and the community directors, it was my time to move out. The community director called me to his office and within that hour, I had the name of a girl who wanted a new roommate. I didn't know what to expect and if you were going to want to live with me at all. After we went back and forth with several emails we were able to meet up at night and talk about possibly moving in together. As I walked into what would be my new room, we immediately started talking about our issues and laughing about them. A few conversations later we were talking about how I would be moving in the next day.

I want to thank you for welcoming me with no judgment and opening up your room to me. I will always be thankful for your kindness and gratitude towards me throughout every day that we've lived together. Most of all I'm thankful for the nights you've stayed up with me and told me that things are going to be fine even when we both know that the situation is pretty messed up. Thank you for ordering Tapingo with me at the same time so we can get our food together and doing laundry with me so the hours go by quicker. I appreciate your endless support when I achieve something academically or socially throughout my week, and build me up when I'm down.

Overall, you're going to be the best roommate I'll ever have because you know me the best. You're one of the most caring people I've ever met in my life and I know that you deny it but we both know it's true. I'm not really sure how you expect me to move out of our room within the next two weeks because there are so many memories within those four walls. Thank you for being you and taking me into your home when I didn't have one.

Love,

Your roomie

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.

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.
