10 Things Roommates Experience
the hunt

When you become roommates with someone or even a few people, you all start to become the same person. It can be scary at times how much you all turn alike or the lingo you share with them that no one will ever understand. Best of all, they become your soul sisters. You grow together, cry together, laugh together, and make memories together. If you truly love your roomies, I can guarantee you'll relate to these.

1. "Hey can I borrow that pink shirt you have?"

How come we like each other's clothes better than our own? Maybe this is the reason all of the clothes in my closet seemed to have disappeared. But hey, if she looks cute in them, that's all that matters.

2. You text for each other.

"What should I say back? I don't want to sound too pushy but I also don't want to sound like I don't care." That's when your roommate grabs the phone and types the text for you as you yell, "Don't send it yet before I read it!" Good thing for roomies!

3. "Do you still have my mascara? The pink bottle with the big brush?"

Your make-up starts to become OUR make-up. It's pointless to go looking for your make-up in your purse or car when it has gone missing. All you have to do is open your roommate's make-up drawer and BAM there it is.

4. Your "time of the month" becomes synchronized.

I always thought this was a myth until I lived with five other girls and realized it's like some crazy spell. Suddenly, we are all eating ALL of whatever we can find in the house, yelling from cramps, and giving attitude to anyone within 10 feet of us.

5. "Lets get ready together."

How come we still say this to each other? Like duh, of course we are going to get ready together when our bathrooms are right across from each other and we use all the same stuff anyway. It wouldn't begin as a good night if we didn't blare our favorite music and dance around while getting ready.

6. "Oh my gosh. She did what?! Where is she?! I'll handle it!!"

Well, I've heard this one many times and secretly have said it many more. Roommates know everything about each other. They learn your deepest secrets and your biggest insecurities. When someone messes with one of "the girls," they mess with all of us. Roomies have each other's backs always and will do just about anything to protect one another. Although, sometimes we may go too far. Whoops!

7. "When is he coming over? I have to meet him."

Poor guy...he has no idea that all the roommates will be home just to meet him and spy on how the night goes. We need all the juicy details asap.

8. When all else fails, you cuddle.

It becomes habit to jump right in her bed when you're having a bad night. You will both talk for hours, cry a little, turn on Grey's Anatomy, and cuddle until you fall asleep. This is probably the best thing about living with your best friends.

9. "Should we still go out tonight, or just stay in because I'm tired."

How come every Friday and Saturday night this conversation comes up? We try to be normal college kids who go out, but secretly we are too tired from the week so we'd rather stay in and watch Netflix. Good thing we end up forcing each other to get up and go have a good night. MOST of the time, it ends up being worth it.

10. Your roommates become more than your best friends. They become your sisters.

Through the ups and downs of life, they'll be there. You begin to walk hand-in-hand as you learn to "adult." Because let me tell you, it is NOT as easy as it looks. You are together through each other's struggles, and through each other's victories. Best of all, you learn to love them so much that you could never picture life without them.

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.
