10 Things I want To Thank My Roommate For
Ryan Robinson

We all have one at one point or another. Roommates. As a Freshman in college, I live in a tiny dorm with one other roommate, who happens to be one of my best friends. When we first decided to live together, we really didn't know anything about each other. After one semester of living together, I can say that I can't imagine a time in my life without her. So thank you for all the things we have gone through together this semester!


1. For dealing with my messes.

I know we can both get fairly messy at times, but thank you for not getting mad when my side of the room is littered with clothing because I couldn't figure out what to wear the previous night out.

2. For always going to eat dinner with me.

While this one may seem odd, I really appreciate our lunch and dinners in the dining halls, even though we always end up sick after eating there.

3. For understanding when I'm closed off and not speaking.

I know that at times I can get into my funk where I don't speak and want to be alone, but thank you for always knowing how to give me my space (even though we live in a cabinet sized room).

4. For listening to me ramble on about the same topic 1,000 times.

When I can't get off a topic and I continue to go on about the same thing, you always listen and still make it seem important.

5. For always having the most fun pre-pregames ever.

Because sometimes getting ready is more fun than the party.

6. For being my favorite dance partner.

We both know that your dancing is a true gem.

7. For having the same sense of humor as me.

Because dark humor is the best humor, right? There is truly nothing like making fun of each other endlessly.

8. For making me feel better when I'm down about myself.

When I'm whining about how I look, you always cheer me up.

9. For cheering me up when I've made a mistake.

You make me remember that making a mistake is okay and to learn from it and move on.

10. For being my best friend.

Because I can't imagine a life where you may not have ended up dealing with my bullshit everyday.

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.
