12 Signs You And Your Roommates Are Old Souls

Does the TV in your room always seem to be turned to the game show channel? Does your house have an unusual amount of blankets or mugs? If so, you and your roommates just might be old souls. Here are 12 more signs that just might apply to your current living situation.

1. You've played a board game or card game together in the last month


Nope, Cards Against Humanity doesn't count.

2. Your dinner plans revolve around Jeopardy


Roommate: "I want Jim's. But I also want to watch Jeopardy tonight. What time is it?"

Me: "6:30. If we leave right now we'll have plenty of time to do both."

Roommate: "Or we could call ahead in 15 minutes, then leave, so we can bring it back here and eat while we watch."

Me: "I like your thinking."

3. You have more soup in your room than any other food

Perfect for nights when you don't actually feel like going anywhere to find dinner.

4. In addition to Jeopardy, you also watch a lot of GSN


If you don't know what that logo stands for, you clearly aren't an old soul.

5. If GSN isn't on, CNN is


Old people always seem to have the TV on, just like you and your roommates do. And you always keep it on one of these two channels, just like old people do.

6. You have enough throw blankets for all of you plus guests!


Because you guys are always cold. Or even if you're not, you always have a blanket. You know, just in case you might become cold.

7. You own more mugs than shot glasses


So. Many. Mugs.

8. You all still read as a hobby


Afternoons spent reading are not uncommon in your household.

9. More often than not, you guys decide to just stay in on Saturday night

Saturday evening usually consists of an hour of talking like you guys might actually do something, before ultimately deciding that none of you want to.

10. Meaning that you're too lazy to do your make-up even on a good day

If you've already found roommates who think you're beautiful without make-up, what's the point anymore?


11. Sometimes you just need to go to bed at 9pm

And when one of you goes to sleep early, you all end up going to sleep early.

12. You all argue like you've been married for 50 years, but you love each other anyway

If you're an old soul, the only people who will understand your lifestyle are fellow old souls. Find them. Room with them. They really do make the best roommates!

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.
