In college you will eventually meet people who are going to be your potential roommates. I have had several, and every year I adjust well to having other people sharing space with me. When I lived in Ross Hall I had Eric. When I lived in Phi Psi I had Brad and Albert. When I lived in the Apartment Village...
Or just a hard day's ... day. Yeah. I've been having one of those weeks. Maybe it's separation anxiety from Kass and Ashley, who just flew out of the country today to study abroad. But anyway, everything seemed to culminate today when I woke up with a headache for my 8 AM for an exam. I proceeded...
I need to start this entry by introducing you to my roommates. Kass and Ashley have been my living partners since freshman year when we were placed in a quad in Schwitzer hall's basement.

Hey everyone! I'm back! Sorry for not writing for FOREVER, but here's what happened: my laptop with all my stuff on it died a tragic death. Thus I can now give you my best college advice ever: don't ever put your laptop in a tote bag with a cheap water bottle. Not even for 20 minutes! Laptops...
