7 Signs You Have a Good Roommate

Living in close quarters is difficult no matter what the situation. If you're lucky, you'll end up with a wonderful roommate and have a great living situation. Here are 7 signs you're one of the fortunate ones.


1. You laugh all the time

Hopefully, your roommate is laughing with you rather than at you.

2. You do nice things for one another.

Whether it's leaving motivational post-it notes or taking them food, a good roommate shows they care through little acts of kindness.

3. You don't feel lame if you spend the night just with them.

Who needs a party, am I right?

4. They support your shenanigans.

No matter what you want to do, they're right there with you for moral support. Even if you do have an online shopping addiction.

5. You're in touch with one another's lives.

The "oh my god guess what just happened" text never gets too old.

6. You feel comfortable sharing a space.

It's easy to both sit and do homework silently and also chat. There isn't ever a moment where you feel you don't belong there.


7. Sharing is caring!

While you have things separated overall, both parties feel alright asking to borrow something.

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.
