30 Things We Don't Think To Thank Our Roommates For

Let's face it, we don't really realize how much we have to thank them for until we get a weird roommate.

30 Things We Don't Think To Thank Our Roommates For

We’ve all had our fair share of bad roommate situations. It’s life, and in college, these things are bound to happen. Roommates that worship cults, roommates that leave passive aggressive notes everywhere, roommates that try to track your every move, and even just roommates that you just don’t live well with. After a less than desirable roommate situation, it’s really important to recognize, appreciate, and hold onto good roommates. Here are 30 things that you should thank those great roommates for

1. Thank you for always sharing ice cream with me.

2. Thank you for always being so funny, and making me laugh every single day.

3. Thank you for being more terrified of our ghost than I am. I’m never less scared than anyone else… except for you.

4. Thank you for never calling me “roomie”. I may have had to drop kick you.

5. Thank you for having such funny sayings that I shamelessly stole and implemented into my own daily vocabulary.

6. Thank you for always helping me plan out my outfits, and literally abandoning your homework to help me decide if boots or converse were more appropriate.


7.Thank you for lighting the candles for me because I’m scared of lighters (If my RA is reading this - please don’t take away our candles)

8. Thanks for sharing a sense of humor with me.

9. Thank you for having a weird obsession with fantastic movies, and insisting on making me watch all of them.

10. Thank you for taking out the garbage all of the time because I never ever remember.

11. Thank you for tolerating my habit of not doing dishes for a while.

12. Thank you for always letting me eat the bananas you buy.

13. Thank you for always being so understanding.

14. Thank you for introducing me to blender-made banana ice cream.

15. Thank you for not caring when my side is a disaster.

16. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes when I can’t find anything that goes with my outfit.

17. Thank you for always being down to go to the cafe with me.

18. Thank you for not being a snorer.

19. Thank you for sharing a dislike for a lot of the people I have a disliking for.

20. Thank you for not ever being annoying.

21. Thank you for not being weird about awkward situations we find ourselves in.

22. Thank you for being so relaxed about everything, and being so easy-going.

23. Thank you for introducing me to your friends (and letting me tag along) in the beginning of the year when I knew no one.

24. Thank you for never yelling at me, even when I’m being really annoying.

25. Thank you for not judging me when I eat Oreos at 2 am, with milk in a wine glass.

26. Thank you for listening to me complain about my tough classes every single day.

27. Thank you helping me out whenever I needed anything.

28. Thank you for the fact that we get along so great to the point where we have literally never had even a resemblance of a fight.

29. Thank you for being you, and for always being so great.

And lastly, thank you for doing random roommate, and also shout out to the housing department for throwing two seemingly-opposite, lost, lonely transfers together. Living with you has honestly changed my life, Morgan. It’s so cheesy, but it really has. I love you!

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.
