The 7 Best Things About Living With My Best Friend
Andi Norman

For the past year and a half, I have shared a tiny dorm room with my rowdy best friend. We are two college basketball players who are way louder than we should be together. Of all the things I love about living with her, here are my seven favorite.

1. I have someone to share clothes with.

Growing up, I was always head and shoulders taller than all of my friends, which meant they all shared clothes, and I wore what I owned. Since living with my teammate who is about the same height, my closet has now doubled! But, so has hers. Having two wardrobes to choose from is great until the shirt I was planning on wearing that day has gone missing

2. She knows just how to cheer me up.

Living in such a small space, there is not much room for secrets. Whenever I am having a bad day, I know that she will be there to pick me up when I get home. And I am so thankful for it!

3. I have a guaranteed cuddle buddy.

We can cuddle any time, and most days we do. However cuddle-seshes never seem to last very long considering we are much too big to be sharing a twin XL...

4. Whenever I want to order a pizza, I know I am not alone.

I always have a companion to split a large honey barbecue pizza with. It’s all fun and games until one piece remains.

5. She shamelessly holds my hand in public.

I always mindlessly grab her hand when we are walking places together. Never has she once complained about my constant need to hold hands.

6. I go to bed later than I would like almost every night.

You know how at sleepovers, you stay up all night talking about everything with your friends? Yeah, well living with your best friend is like that every night. We have conversations that keep us up late almost every single night. Sometimes I’m dragging the next day, but I would not trade it for anything.

7. She never lets me cause shenanigans alone.

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.
