10 Reasons My Freshman Roommate Is Invaluable
az616578

My roommate is wonderful, beautiful, and an every day inspiration. From our weekly crying sessions to getting excited about dogs every day, your friendship means more to me than you'll ever know, from gremlin to goblin

1. Weekly Crying Together

I love that someone can casually see me ugly cry at least once a week and it could be over anything from test anxiety to I'm overwhelmed because I saw a dog and got emotional. There's no one I'd rather pass a tissue box back and forth with.

2. Living in Our Absolute Mess and Being Perfectly Okay With It

Nine times out of ten, our room is filthy but somehow we're both okay with living in our mutual garbage heap.

3. Watching Random Things and Laughing Until We Cry at 2 AM

Everything from Lazy Town remixes to singing the Shrek soundtrack, I love laughing so much I'm crying with you.

4. Midnight Walks

Those times we can't sleep so we just wander and look at the stars.

5. You See Me In My Natural State Every Morning - You Deserve An Award

Monumental frizz, bleary eyes, and needing you to help me find my glasses every. Damn. Morning. You honestly need a medal for witnessing that on the daily.

6. Leaving Notes When One Of Us Leaves Before The Other

Often it's you leaving and me being mid five hour death nap, but there's nothing sweeter than a cute doodle of the gremlin (me) and the goblin (you), and yes, gremlins need a lot of sleep (even though you know it's just me running from things I need to do).

7. Speaking To Each Other In Spongebob Quotes

There's something special about having someone scream to you about chocolate in that voice, you know the one.

8. Sobbing Over Cute Dogs

Yanking out headphones to yell over a huge, fluffy dog or barging into the room because I just have to talk to you about this amazingly cute dog I saw, or catching each other at a weird emotional moment so we're reduced to tears over golden retrievers.

9. Celebrating Good Grades With Each Other

Nothing beats a good, gremliny hug because you aced that one exam you spent all week freaking out over.

10. No Matter The Letters

We went through formal recruitment together and supported each other through the nerves and the decision making and cried together getting the news of our bids, and I'll never forget that. We may be members of different sororities but our support is endless, no matter our letters.


Here's to you, my best friend

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.
