8 Things I Want My Future Roomie To Know

Dear Future Roomie, or what I like to call "Froomie",

I'm so glad I met you and that we made the bold choice to live with each other next year! I have to admit, I can't live with just anyone, so knowing I picked an awesome one like you calms any anxiety I had over having a bad living experience.

Now that we have signed the papers and you can't back out, there are a few things I want you to know about me.

1. I like to Sleep. A lot.

When I have the opportunity to nap, you bet your butt I will be napping. I can sleep through most noises, however blow horns, obnoxious hardcore metal music, and loud trumpet playing will not be tolerated.

2. What's mine is yours. Just ask

If you want to barrow a pencil, pen, paper, silverware, clothes, or literally anything else, just ask. I will most likely say yes.

3. We will be watching movies together.

Sappy ones, action ones, ones that make us laugh so hard we pee--all movies are on the table so be prepared for some hardcore movie nights.

4. I talk a lot

Every now and then we all need a good rant, am I right? But I also enjoy telling stories about my day, talking about the funny things I find on Twitter, or about my homework. I'm chatty. Just tell me to shut up and I will. I promise.

5. Sometimes I need alone time.

Sometimes I just need time to write, read, study and think clearly to myself. I need to be free of distractions. I'm assuming you need these times too, so tell me when you are about to lose your sh!t and I will be out of your way. We all need space sometimes in order to keep our souls happy.

6. I have frequent jam sessions

If you ever are in need of some random dance sessions, be sure to be present when I'm jamming out. These sessions usually take place when I'm getting all dolled up to go out on the weekend, when I'm cleaning, or when I am doing some fairly effortless homework. As long as you can roll with some 2000's throwbacks, we should have no problems.

7. More snacks the better

I'm a munchie studier, a munchie drunk and overall a munchie person. I'm not too picky so by all means, bring all sorts of goodies and we can have our own little pantry of empty calorie goodness. (I'm also down to work off those empty calories every now and then too).

8. I'm so excited to live with you

There is clearly a reason why I chose to live with you, and I could not be more confident with my decision. I can't wait to make some wild memories with you, study with you, and stay out of trouble with you. I can't wait to continue exploring college.

Love, your future roomie.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
