29 Annoying Things All Roommates Do

Disclaimer: I am probably more particular than most roommates that anyone will ever encounter, and very random things can drive me nuts. However, there are many things that roommates do in general that would irritate anybody. I am also not claiming that I am the perfect roommate, as I am guilty of some things on this list myself.

1. Not changing the toilet paper roll.

2. Leaving hair in the shower.

3. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink for days.

4. When it's midnight and you're trying to sleep, but suddenly it's social hour in your common room.

5. Leaving makeup all over the counter in the bathroom.

6. Getting toothpaste all over the sink and being too lazy to rinse it.

7. Letting the trash pile up until it looks like Mt. Vesuvius.

8. Ordering takeout and stinking up the whole room.

9. Forgetting to turn the light off before they get in bed.

10. Snoring

11. When you're freezing your ass off and they decide to open the window.

12. Or refusing to open the window when it's sweltering outside.

13. Being super loud in the morning while they get ready and you're still sleeping.

14. Taking naps at the most inconvenient times.

15. Yelling at other roommates for things they do themselves.

16. Eating all of your food.

17. Playing videos/music out loud when you're trying to study.

18. Treating the common room like a second bedroom.

19. Leaving the sponge in the sink so all the nasty food and drinks can soak into it.

20. When they use your stuff without asking.

21. Using your dishes and then not washing them.

22. Taking your clothes.

23. Not replacing common items like toilet paper, tissues, hand soap, etc.

24. Getting "sexiled"

25. When someone misses the trash can and thinks it's chill to just leave the trash on the floor.

26. Having pets.

27. Not contributing to cleaning common areas.

28. Taking up all the closet space.

29. When you're trying to quietly do work and your roommate takes a phone call in the room.

At the end of the day, though, no matter how much they may annoy me, my roommates are still my best friends.

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.

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.
