7 Important Questions for College Roommates
College acceptance letters should be littering social media posts in the next couple of months which means there will be an abundance of incoming college freshman rushing to join FaceBook housing groups. Social media is a great way to meet potential roommates, especially for students who do not want to room with someone from their hometown. In the excitement of finding a roommate and thinking about housing assignments, however, some important questions for potential roommates can be overlooked which leads to potential consequences down the road. Hindsight is 20/20 and I personally wish I would have asked my current roommate some of these questions before rooming together for the 2018-19 academic year. Seven of the most important questions everyone should ask potential future roommates are listed below.

Did You Know You Can Go to College Debt-Free?
Ah, student loans, how I loathe you. I loathe what you've done to every generation of college student. I loathe how easy it is to sign up for you, how much you cost, and how long it takes to pay you off. Actually, I feel that way about all loans, but that's another story. :)

What Am I Even Doing?
Hi so my name is Jordan, I’m a freshman in college and I have no idea what I’m doing. And before you start with all the “oh sweetie nobody knows what they’re doing” crap lemme just say I /really/ don’t know what I’m doing. See I was homeschooled my whole life. Not the homeschooling where I live in the attic and only wear the clothes I make from fabric I wove with the silk I milked from my worm garden kinda homeschooled, but I was still homeschooled. I was used to waking up around 9 or 10, grabbing breakfast, going back to bed and maybe flipping through some assignments only to finish them like the day before they were due without any hang ups. See I had classes online and classes in person, but they only ever met once a week.

Why Finding Meaning and Happiness in Your Life Is Important in College
After graduating high school you feel as if you have everything figured out: Scheduling your college orientation, packing up your things, and taking charge of your own life finally. Or, it feels that way. Until a month and a half in, you are knee-deep in homework, eating “dinner” at 10 PM, and debating if you can risk another absence from class just for some extra sleep.

The First Year After College
I see the first year after college as being an extremely important one. And I don’t mean that you have to figure out your entire life in this year, I mean that you need to claim this time for the things that are going to develop you into the best version of yourself as you begin your adult life. This is a time to engage in some deep self-discovery, to take some risks for the things you care about, to resist any urge to define yourself or commit to one path and to prioritize your own growth above everything else.
