Dear Next-Year's-Freshman...

Dear Next Year's Freshman...


When you get your roommate assignment, make sure you talk to them. Not just figuring out who will bring what (and make sure not just one person brings everything), but that you get to know who they are.

And when you begin living together, be open about problems you have. Do not let them bottle up inside because that just causes drama. And nobody needs drama in addition to their adjustment to college life.

Because it sucks. And when people want to move out, and you aren't entirely sure why, it is really frustrating. And it is very hard to concentrate on your classes.

And one more tip: Learn to sleep with lights on. It is very beneficial to both you and your roommate. I don't even notice lights anymore, and it is like a godsend. :)

Sincerely,

Kristine
