Weird Roommate Things Part Two

I talk about more weird roommate things and memories I have made with my roommates

Weird Roommate Things Part Two
Abigail Ambrose

So recently I talked about weird roommate things.This included how it will be strange to live with somebody you have never really met and know next to nothing about. It is included how my roommate claims to be a cannibal and talks about cannibalism quite frequently. Now I want to talk about some other weird roommate things which aren't quite the same.

Currently, I am sitting downstairs in the basement of my summer dorm while my roommate takes on a more than a little strange of a task. She decided she was going to make her own hummus, but this process includes about 3 hours of preparing the chickpeas before finding mushing them and combining them with the other ingredients.

Not everybody will have the opportunity to have the experiences I have had with my roommates, although, I wish they would. Now I want to talk about some of the more interesting experiences I have had with my roommates which didn't fit what I talked about previously.

One of the experiences I remember from before I knew my roommate very well from this past school year was when we went down to the kitchen to cook scrambled eggs for lunch one day. It was only a few weeks into the school year, but we had cheese and some eggs which would go bad soon if we did not eat them, so we decided to make scrambled eggs. It is a simple experience and I can't pinpoint any reason it stands out to me, but for some reason, it does and seems to be a memory I will keep from my first year of college.

I also got to go on the astronomy walk with my roommate and one of our friends during the school year. For those of you who don't know, along the main road which cuts through campus at the College of Wooster (Beall on the library side) on the sidewalk, there is a to-scale model of the solar system. It stretches for multiple blocks and starts with the sun and ends with Neptune (sorry Pluto). This is another random memory that I do not know why I remember so clearly, but I do.

Then there are the random memories I have made with my summer roommate already. We both decided not to get the summer meal plan, so we have to make all of our own food. As a result, we have made a lot of random things included corn and crab quesadillas and stuffed baked potatoes. It also has led to my roommate making hummus at a ridiculous hour of the night in order to have for lunch for the rest of the week.

We also have formed memories by sitting in the hallway and getting to have different experiences that way from people in our dorm thinking we are insane to just talking about absolutely random things. Every once in a while somebody will walk out and hear one of those random conversations and that is always a little interesting.

So, if you are able to and have a roommate that you get along with, I would recommend doing crazy things with them. You will have a wonderful time and it will make some crazy memories that you can look back on when you are done with college.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
