11 Reasons Your Roommate Is The Best
HelloGiggles

When it comes to getting a roommate, having one who is also a great friend is a very fortunate situation to be in. It’s great to know that no matter how bad a day you’ve had, you can always come back to your room and have a bestie by your side.


1. If you need to talk, she's there for you no matter when or what the subject.

Even if it's just texting her random thoughts, you know she'll appreciate it and won't judge you at all.


2. You have random dance parties when you wake up in the morning.

You've created an amazing playlist just for this occasion. When you're having an especially difficult morning, this is the only thing that can motivate you to get out of bed.


3. You have the same sense of humor.


Throughout the day you send each other funny stuff you find online, and your list of inside jokes is never-ending.


4. You swap clothes.

If there's something you don't have in your closet, she's got it. You've pretty much just merged into one huge wardrobe by this point in the year, and you both always look stylish.


5. You save the ugliest Snapchats for her.


When she screenshots the especially bad ones, you can bet that they'll resurface on your birthday.


6. The would-be-annoying task of cleaning your room always turns into a party.

Just get a great soundtrack for the both of you to sing along to, and your room will be tidy in no time.


7. Going out together is always a blast.

The two of you are guaranteed to be the life of the party.


8. When you need something, chances are they have it.

Snacks, laundry detergent, nail polish. If you don't own it, they will.


9. If a boy causes trouble, she's got your back.

Boys can be dumb. If you mess with one of us, you have to deal with the wrath of both of us.


10. She takes care of you when you're sick.

Whether it's grabbing food for you from the dining hall or making you a cup of tea, she's your personal nurse.


11. Most importantly, she tells it like it is.

Your roomie is your mom/sister/friend/therapist while you're at college. Are you overthinking something too much? Could your outfit use some restyling? She knows how to tell you these things, and she's not afraid to deliver that tough love.

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.
