11 Things You Should Thank Your Roommate For
Rachel Hernandez

Your first years of college can bring some crazy times. Adjusting to a new school, new surroundings and new people can be stressful. Your roommate is there by your side for a lot of these interesting situations. Here are a few instances that make me so thankful for my first college roommate.


1. Listening to my rants when things get stressful

Whether it is complaining about a teacher, midterms or lack of money, your roommate is always there to listen and let you know they are right there beside you with the same struggles.

2. Listening to my gossip at any time

Coming home at the end of the day and sharing your stories is one of the best feelings in the world.

3. Letting me borrow your clothes (mostly when it's laundry day)

Thank your roommate for letting you borrow any shirt or jacket when you are rushing out of the door for class. 8 a.m. or 11 p.m., you and your roommate basically share a closet.

4. Eating pizza with me when I order Dominos at 1 a.m.

Need I say more? When you're studying past midnight, and you need some food, your roommate won't hesitate to scarf down some pizza with you.

5. Avoiding all our responsibilities together

Sometimes Netflix just calls at the wrong time, like when you have a huge essay due next week that you really don't feel compelled to start.

6. This usually happens from watching too many YouTube videos

Too often, you guys will end up on the weird side of YouTube. You could spend hours clicking new videos and laughing.

7. Having random dance parties

How can you get through the week without a dance party in your room? Thank you, Spotify!

8. Cheering me up on those bad days

Sometimes you just need a hug when things get stressful. Your roommate is right there to the rescue.

9. Writing me nice notes to show you are

It's the little things they do that show they're a friend for life.

10. Never judging me for any dumb decisions

Your roommate accepts you for who you are, no matter if you are stressed, exhausted, energetic or happy.

11. Loving me unconditionally

Whether you realize it or not, your roommate has become your best friend. Thank your roommate for being there, because you can get yourself in some crazy situations sometimes.

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.
