10 Reasons Why You And Your Roommates Are Basically 'Dating'

You can't live with them, but most definitely can't live without them.

10 Reasons Why You And Your Roommates Are Basically 'Dating'
myself

We all are in college, or have been at some point in time, and there is one thing that constantly drives the happiness of your house/apartment/dorms: roommates. You love to hate them, and hate to love them, but one thing is, that you cannot live without them and they become your other half. No matter how petty you are towards each other one day, the next day you are watching movies with each other like nothing happened. Sometimes your roommates become more of a boyfriend/girlfriend to you than your actual significant other, and here are 10 reasons why:

  1. You get mad when they don’t text you back or answer your FaceTime's
  2. They ask if you are together or separate for the bill constantly when you go out to eat
  3. You ask them "who's turn is it to make dinner tonight?"
  4. You find yourself persistently saying the same things at the same time
  5. You always plan a date night or movie night at least once a week… and fight over who picks the movie or the restaurant
  6. You cuddle up next to each other when having that movie night
  7. Posting pictures of them weekly is a given
  8. They take care of you when you are sick
  9. They are starting to get used to your mental breakdowns by now

AND FINALLY

10. You say “I love you” almost every time you leave each other


This goes out to my roomies of 2016; I love you all so much and don't know what I would do without our crazy, stupid, fun times!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
