What It's Like To Live With Your Best Friends

So this isn't the first time I've moved in with someone I know. I've only lived with one other person, but now I live with 3 other girls that I met a year ago. Living with these four girls (Kaitlyn, Alaina, and Krysta) is probably the craziest thing I've done while in college because of our sleepless nights, random food runs, and noise complaints from our neighbors. If you plan on moving in with some of your closest friends then here is some advice from each of us.

"How do you all organize the cleaning schedule?"

Each of us made a decision that two will clean the restroom and the other two will clean the kitchen. it's important that these rules are followed because if we end up forgetting to clean we could get bugs throughout the dorm since the dorms at our school are pretty old.

"When is bedtime?"

Technically we don't have a bedtime. There are two heavy sleepers in the house, Krysta and Alaina. Alaina usually goes to sleep at 11:00 PM while the rest of us go to sleep around 2:00 AM, and YES on school days. "This is the time for us to bond." Krysta says.

"Do you all share food?"

We usually don't share food, but we will cook for each other especially myself or Alaina. Sometimes Alaina and I will cook together. It's always a good time here at our dorm.

"Do you all argue often?"

"We mostly argue over the air conditioning." Alaina said in my interview with her. I agree. Alaina and I prefer different temperatures so it often comes up in a mini argument will happen. Kaitlyn and I will usually just have arguments that last 5 minutes, then we're cool again.

"What advice can you give anyone else who may want or has multiple roommates?"

The best advice my roommates and I can give is to "be yourself, communicate, and enjoy it while it lasts." Once you start living on your own, it's going to be hard to keep up with finances, food, work, and your social life outside of work.

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.
