25 Things That Happen When Your Roommate Is Also Your Best Friend

If you're anything like me, you hit the roommate lottery jackpot. Someone who gets you on every level, who laughs with you, cries with you, shares your interests, accepts your (many many) crazy quirks. If you're lucky, your roommate is also your best friend. Here's 25 signs you've hit that amazing best friend-roommate hybrid stage with your person, your roommate, your best friend:

1. Your clothes are their clothes.

Twice the closets, twice the fun.

2. They're your plus-one to all events.

You're a package deal.

3. And because of that, people have probably questioned if you're dating.

It's fine. Nod and smile.

4. Late-night food dates are a staple to your friendship.

Steak and Shake run at 1am on a Tuesday? Absolutely.

5. The sheer amount of pictures you have together is a little ridiculous.

Who else would you take pictures with anyway?

6. You have a way of texting that is probably unintelligible to anyone else but you.

You can also probably text solely through emojis and GIFs at this point.

7. You get separation anxiety after being apart for more than an hour.

Living together, eating together, studying together, and sleeping 10 feet away from each other isn't enough.

8. Their family becomes your family.

Might as well hyphenate your last name.

9. NO topic is off boundaries.

Not to mention they are a CIA-grade Facebook stalker.

11. If aforementioned relationship goes badly, they're the first person to come up with code names and backup.

"YOU ARE THE SUN AND HE IS THE SCUM."

12. You're each other's worst distractions when trying to study.

Or: "How many gummy worms do you think I can fit in my mouth without choking?"

13. They press "send" on all the emails/texts/DMs that you're too afraid to send.

That message to your crush? Written and sent by them.

14. Your late-night conversations are unparalleled.

2pm shower thoughts make for the best 2am bedtime talks.

15. You've probably slept in the same bed at one point or another.

You share a room...why not share the bed, too?

16. When one of you is sick, the other immediately turns on mom-mode.

The stash of NyQuil in their closet is just a testament to their love for you.

17. They are your entire Snapchat story, daily.

No one else is interesting enough, obviously.

18. You can't fight with each other for longer than a day.

You have way too much to tell each other after three hours.

19. When one of you pulls an all-nighter for class, so does the other.

If you suffer, I suffer with you.

20. You can ask them ridiculous questions without fear of judgment.

(They can't because they do the same thing.)

21. You feel no pressure (ever) to be presentable around them.

They'll even join you in the sweatpants and last night's makeup party.

22. You text them while they're sitting in the same room.

They need a play-by-play of your brain in silence, obviously.

23. Waking up is infinitely more fun in the morning with them by your side.

It's an all-year sleepover.

24. You know exactly what they're thinking...even if they don't say a word.

Only a facial expression or gesture needed.

25. You can't imagine living life and doing college alongside anyone else.

Love you, always.

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.

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.
