10 Things That Happen When Your Roommate Becomes Your Best Friend

The best (or worst) thing about college is getting to live with a roommate. Depending on who you end up with, this experience can be good or bad. This person sees you at your worst, when it's 3 am and you have a paper due at 8 or at your best, when that cute guy from chemistry finally texts you. If you're lucky, you get someone great that eventually becomes your best friend and these things happen:

1. Every night becomes a therapy session.

Because who else is going to listen to all of your problems and not judge? She'll always tell you like it is. You both give great advice.


2. You have one giant closet instead of two small ones.

You trust each other enough to share everything. With both of your fashion skills combined, nothing can stop you. Her black dress + your red shoes = total world domination.


3. You memorize each others' schedule.

It's not planned. It just kind of happens. Oh it's 2:00 on a Wednesday? She's in math class.


4. You always have someone to go places with you.

"Hey, wanna go get dinner?" "Sure!" She'll always tag along on your adventures across campus or anywhere else you might need to go. She can make any boring task a fun one!


5. You understand each other completely.

It's like you have pizza telepathy. She knows what you're thinking before you even think it. "Wanna order pizza tonight?" "Duh."


6. You're always updated on each others' lives, even on long breaks apart.

If you can't tell her in person, a text is the next best thing. It's like she never left. She gets a daily update of your life, even if it's just telling her you saw a cute puppy that day.


7. You celebrate together and cry together.

She's the very first person you call when something big happens. She's there to dance around the room with you after you ace your science exam and cry with you when you're stressed. Sometimes both. You both care about the small things and that's what makes your friendship so great.


8. You balance each other out.

She's the crazy one with a sunshiny personality and you're the cool, calm, and collected one that keeps you both put together. It works perfectly. Together, you're the dream team.


9. You watch the same shows on Netflix.

Usually together. You might even share an account. You obviously can't watch the next episode without her. It's against all laws of having a roommate.


10. You wouldn't trade each other for the world.

She quickly became your best friend and you couldn't imagine living with anyone else.


Hopefully, you'll be able to find a roommate this great.

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.
