To my roommate/best friend,

First off, let me say that I am thrilled to have you not only as my roommate, but my best friend as well. Moving in with a friend ends up becoming either a good or bad experience, but for me, the experience has been great. When my situation was not working out too well with my previous roommate, you gladly accepted me as your new roommate, and I can't thank you enough.

Thank you for your help and advice. I can always count on you for advice on all sorts of things. Moving in with you has definitely benefitted me. You have helped me to see the importance of setting boundaries for myself and not allowing people to walk over me. You have also allowed me to see that other people's opinions of me do not matter. What really matters is how God sees me and how I feel about myself.

I know we have different opinions on certain topics, but it's okay. We aren't going to agree on everything because we're two different people. Even though you can be blunt at times, I appreciate any advice you can give. Your willingness to help me shows how much you care about me.

Thank you for accepting me for who I am. I know how loud and obnoxious (since I feel comfortable with you) I can be. Thank you for not judging me when I act crazy and laugh uncontrollably. Also, thank you for understanding me when I have mental breakdowns from the stress of school. I appreciate you telling me when I need to take a break from studying. Your motive is never to judge me; it's always to help me.

Thank you for showing me how a good friend is supposed to be. In the past, I have had toxic friends who I had to remove from my life. A good friend like you is not supposed to take advantage of someone. Recently, I have not had much luck in finding good friends, so I came to the conclusion that I was most likely not going to have any lasting friendships from college.

However, you proved me wrong. Thank you for showing me that there is still hope in finding good friends. I am so grateful that you care enough about me to listen to me talk about my problems (no matter how tiring it can get) and that you know not to take advantage of me. I know we don't have much time left together since I will be graduating soon, but I hope we continue to keep in touch. I know that friends often grow apart, but I hope our friendship never fades.


Sincerely,

Your appreciative friend/roommate

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.
