Surviving The Storm Together

Why I Love My College Roommate

In This Article:

Whether you are a transfer student starting at a university or a freshman starting college for the first time, your roommate will be your best friend and your sister. Through the semester you both will learn each others ways, stay up late having deep conversations knowing you have a 8:30am class, talk about how stress this one class is and so much more.

We Can Be Lazy Together

There are days when the weather is so crummy that neither of us want to go to class. There are nights when we get back from class and just grab our chairs, throw our feet up and tune into our show for that day. Thank you for dealing with my ID shows 99% of the time.

PHOTOSHOOT!!!!

Knowing how much I love photography, you never got annoyed when I asked to do a mini photoshoot or even take photos. Whether we were in our apartment or out exploring you completely understood that I was taking my camera & most likely taking over 100 photos. You never rushed me while I was trying to get "the perfect angle for the perfect shot". The idea of a mini photoshoot in our living room wasn't even a shocker to you. It was like "okay let's do it!" moved the couch and BAAAM!

Never A Dull Moment During The Holidays

Although we leave for Christmas break, there is no one else I would want to wear an "ugly" sweater with but you!! Especially a matching ones. Who knew trying to find the PERFECT sweater for "ugly sweater bingo" would be fun honestly. Can't wait to do it again in our Goat sweaters!!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

As much as you hate the cold, we managed to have a snowball fight, cleaned a few cars off in the parking lot and even made a snowman ( and a friend) Shout out to your creativity when it came to the nose and 3D ears. Be ready for next winter.

El Música

Two ( slightly) different cultures colliding. While living together I fell in love with Spanish music and grasped onto the language. Whether it's just cooking in the kitchen or blasting music, random dancing to Spanish music was....divertisdísimo! Our crazy minds together would be the ones to open the windows on a nice spring morning, put the speakers by it and blast "It's a beautiful morning" for everyone to hear as they walked by.

Special Occasions

Thanks for doing my hair when it came to "meeting the parents" and letting me borrow your tops for sisterhood occasion. Thank you for telling me, "You're going to be okay. Stop worrying" when it came to dinner with the family to ensure that it wasn't a big deal because regardless they would love me.

If it's not the AC unit exploding on our first night in the apartment it's someone banging on our window at 2am. Never a dull moment in our apartment. Memories that we can look back on now and laugh at because only that would happen to us.

Thank you for always being there for me when situations became tough, popping the screen out the window so I can come back inside, showing me your culture and your views on things while accepting mine. Thank you for always being patient with me when I was being too hard on myself. Most importantly thank you for making my first year at a university a perfect one. Wouldn't trade you as a roommate or friend in for a thing. Cheers to our second and final year as undergrads.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
