11 Signs You and Your Roommate are a Perfect Match

1. Whether your room is clean or messy, it’s usually the same level on both sides.

When one of you is lacking in the cleanliness department, the other is not afraid to initiate a cleaning spree immediately.

2. You’ve considered pushing your beds together/making bunk beds.

Even if the suggestion was a joke or not, the idea was brought to the surface, possibly after watching Step Brothers.

3. You know each other’s nap schedule.

You’re fully aware on your walk back from class that your roommate will be passed out sleeping when you return.

4. Borrowing each other’s clothes is a regular occurrence.

Whether you’re running low on clean clothes or eyeing up your roommate's shirts, sharing clothes is a must.

5. Your Snapchat stories are nearly always identical.

You’re constantly experiencing the same things and are not afraid to document it to all of you Snapchat friends.

6. You bicker and argue like a married couple.

Being around someone all the time often leads to arguments, and roommates are no exception.

7. You know everything about each other but still choose to live together.

From their friends at home, to their menstrual cycle, there are no secrets between the walls of your dorm room.

8. Your parents ask how your roommate is doing with each phone call.

The well-being of your roommate is a concern of not only you, but your parents also.

9. It’s never a question of who is in control of the aux cord.

One of you has a significantly better taste in music and automatically has control of the aux cord.

10. Bed time is whenever you stop talking to each other in the pitch black room.

Getting in bed at 11 and being asleep by 11 are two different things. Usually the conversations continue until either one of you realizes you have an 8 A.M. in the morning.

11. You’re a little too comfortable with each other.

You rarely get grossed out anymore and are aware of all of your roommate’s bad habits.

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.
