12 Things We Forget to Thank Our Roommates For
Odyssey Online

In college, roommates can either be the best or the worst thing. If you're a freshman at Fairfield, you get assigned a random person that you've never met before and just hope for the best. After that, you can pick who you live with and where you live, which is awesome. Hopefully, your roommates will all work out and get along well, and they will become your family away from your family. Sometimes we take for granted how important roommates are to our college experience. Here are 12 things that we forget to thank our roommates for.

1. For listening to us complain about our classes

Thanks for not hating us after we fire off complaint after complaint, especially about our classes.

2. For letting us have the last scoop of ice cream when we're having a bad day

Even though you may have really wanted it, thank you for letting us have it anyway on "one of those days."

3. For reminding us to turn off the oven when we cook

Otherwise this GIF would be a regular occurrence. Thanks for always looking out for us ... and our house.

4. For not judging us ever

Roomie friendships are always a judgment free zone.

5. For being our cheerleaders at every event

Thanks for supporting us through everything — even the things that you may not necessarily want to go to.

6. For not hating us when we cough all night long when we're sick

I would hate sick me too, but thanks for loving me anyway.

7. For not telling us what happened on that episode of "Grey's" that we didn't get to watch

Even though it may be hard, thanks for not giving away the spoilers; you're the best!

8. For taking out the smelly trash so that we don't have to do it ourselves


Thanks for taking one for the team!

9. For coming to unlock the door when we forget a key

Forgetting our keys happens far too many times to admit. Thank you for always coming without fail.

10. For being our pseudo-moms

Thanks for reminding us to drink our water and take our vitamins.

11. For always ordering in with us when we don't want to cook or get dining hall food

You're the best for doing this with us!

12. For being our best friends always

We can't thank you enough for all that you do, roomies!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
