5 Good Things About Living Alone
Jacob Andrews

1. You don't have to share

This might go against everything you learned in kindergarten, but some things are just not meant to be shared, at least in my opinion. These things include bathrooms, food, personal space etc. Maybe its just me.

2. You can do whatever you want whenever you want

One of the biggest problems I've had with any roommate is coordinating a laundry schedule. I do laundry once a week and I cannot even count the times when I am ready to laundry, but then I come out and someone else's clothes are in the dryer or washer. When you live alone you can do laundry in the middle of the day if you want or everyday for that matter.

3. Privacy is not an issue

This has also been a problem because sometimes a thin wooden door just isn't enough privacy if you catch my drift. When you live alone you do not have to worry about being quiet when doing adult things if you catch my drift.

4. You are the only one responsible for rent.

When you live alone you do not have to worry about other people being late on rent. You also do not have to worry about giving someone else your rent and then them blowing it. I would only trust a hand full of people with that much money.

5. No awkwardness

This isn't so much a problem as it is a personality conflict. If you are like me then you approach strangers with awkward silence and inappropriate humor. A new roommate can be extremely awkward especially if you do not know them.

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.
