10 Reasons Living Alone is Da Bomb

Roommates aren't for everyone

10 Reasons Living Alone is Da Bomb

I've had more than one roommate, and I couldn't make it work. I have so many reasons I hated living with another person, and the stress it causes is not conducive to a college environment. Here is why I think living alone is the best.

1. You have your own space

If you want to leave your dirty clothes on the floor for a week, you can. If you don't want to make your bed every morning, you don't have to.

2. You have your own schedule

If you want to skip a class and sleep in, go you. You don't have to worry about when your roommate's alarm clock is going to go off in the morning.

3. You can have whoever over whenever

If you want your friends over at midnight to play Uno, you do you. If your best friend is visiting from his college, you don't have to ask anyone's permission.

4. You can wear whatever, whenever

If you get out of the shower and don't feel like getting dressed, you can lay around in your bathrobe for hours. There's also no one to judge what you wear to class or the bar.

5. You can watch TV at 4 am

If you can't sleep and need something to distract your brain, you do what you want. You can watch your favorite show until you fall asleep or whenever you want.

6. You can blast your music when you're getting ready for class

If you want to listen to country music while you dance around in the morning, there's no one to tell you to get different taste in music.

7. You can go wherever you want, whenever you want without worrying about another person

If you are out from 9 to 9, you don't have to get "where are you?" texts when you're trying to get work done. If you have meetings at 10 or 11 at night, you don't have to worry about waking your roommate when you get home.

8. Your food is your food

If you're saving the leftover pizza for dinner, you don't have to worry about someone eating it before you get home. You also don't have to worry about someone drinking your wine when you're not around.

9. You can choose to see other people or not

If you want to go all Sunday without seeing anyone, go for it. If you really need to finish a paper during finals, you can have your friend over or you can do it alone.

10. You have less stress when you come home

If you had a hard day, you don't have to worry about your roommate's hard day creating an issue or where she put your favorite sweats.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
