12 Signs You Have The Best Roommate
Swannanoa Social Tribe

When I first came to college last semester, I had only met my roommate one time. Since I am from Texas (Hook 'em Horns!) and she is from Alabama (Roll Tide!), I had some trepidations about living together for the next year. I knew we would get along, I just did not thing we would become close friends. Since August, however, my roommate has become my best friend and coolest person I know. Here are 12 signs that you too, have an awesome roommate.

1. They listen to your rants

College is hard and sometimes you just need someone to listen to you. Thankfully, your roommate is stuck with you, so they really don't have a choice.

2. They always know how to make you feel better

Whether your mood changer is food, Netflix, or just someone around you, your roommate always knows how to turn that frown upside down.

3. You nap together (separately)

Or maybe not separately. Who needs two beds when you can cuddle together in one?

4. Your interests become their interests, and vice versa

Superheros? Basketball? Makeup tutorials? Bae watch? You and your roommate won't even have your own personality anymore, you're basically the same person.

5. And they don't judge you for doing your thing

A roommate sees you at your absolute worst—morning breath and pantlessness included—and loves you anyway.

6. Your closest becomes "our closet"

Your roommate is the ultimate life saver when it comes to clothes, because, let's be real, nobody has money to go buy new clothes for every college event.

7. Your other friends constantly refer to you two as "Roommate goals"

Maybe you match some days or maybe you are constantly around each other, either way, everyone knows you two are roommates and wishes they could be you.

8. They buy you food

True love is food, and there's nothing better than seeing your roommate walk in with a bag of BBQ chips and hearing, "I bought these for you."

9. You send each other the best Snapchats

Sometimes it's hot boys, sometimes it's disturbing faces of them in class. Your roommate always knows just the Snap to send to make you smile.

10. You hate being apart, even if it's only for a short time

Class schedules can be hard; and yes, it is perfectly acceptable to miss your roommate when they've only been gone 30 minutes.

11. You just get each other

You two are both crazy and stupid, but it's the kind of crazy and stupid that makes you go, "This person is my friend and I love them."

12. You both wouldn't change roommates for the world

Your roommate is the person you navigate college life with, and if you have a good one, you know that they are more valuable than anyone else.

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.
