11 Things To Thank Your Freshman Roomie For
Kathryn Sugg

1.) Being your own personal alarm


Setting an alarm on your phone doesn't always do the trick, or you come up with all kinds of excuses to sleep through it. Luckily, you have that one person who will do anything and everything to annoy you so you can finally get out of bed.

2.) Food

I don't know about you, but my roomie ALWAYS has the best food to choose from, which means that at whatever chance I get I will eat it and be very satisfied in the end.

3.) Clothes

I went to college thinking that I would only have my clothes to choose from, but man was I wrong. I picked the best person to room with because she shops until she drops, which means that I will always have something to choose from.

4.) Late night thoughts

Ya know when you are just laying in your bed and want someone to talk to about whatever is going on in your life? Well, all you have to do is turn to whatever side their bed is on and BAM you have someone to talk to.

5.) Never alone


You always have that person to go to the cafeteria with, or ride in an elevator with so you don't experience any awkward silence with anyone else.

6.) Dance parties


Once a jam comes on you give each other that look like "are you ready to have a dance off?" And right when you look away from each other you know that it's on.

7.) Being my mother

You would think that once you go to college you won't have any more of those comments that parents make, but you're wrong. Forcing me to go to class, eat my veggies, and telling me to suck it up when I want to cry because of all the homework that I have.

8.) Being my doctor

Being sick in school is the worst, but being sick in college is unexplainable. Luckily, I have my own personal doctor to complain to 24/7 about how I am feeling.

9.) No dress code

Don't feel like putting on pants? No problem! Wearing the same sweatshirt two days in a row? No comment just the look like are you serious?

10.) Third Wheeling? Nah.

Thanks for including me in your pictures and not letting me crash your dates.

11.) Becoming my sister

I never thought I would go to college and become the best of friends with m roomie. We have had some bumps here and there, but I couldn't imagine living with anyone else. Thanks for all of the fun times and for making my freshman year one that I will never forget.

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.
