8 Things You'll Miss About Your College Roommate

Cause your roomie is your best friend.

We all have to share our spaces with someone (or multiple people), and with close proximity comes bonding that you just can't get otherwise. Your roommate(s) is your confidante, your go-to, your ride or die, and whatever else you could call a super close, live-in best friend. It'll be weird to adjust to living without them after graduation. Here are just a few things you'll end up missing:

1. Having someone to go anywhere with you

If you want Starbucks or Chipotle, you can count on them to be along for the ride.

2. Venting sessions

Sad over a boy? Fail your exam? Get in a fight with your mom? Your roommate's there to hear about all of it.

3. Netflix and cuddling

Because if you can't sit home on a Friday night to watch Gilmore Girls and eat junk food with your roomie, who can you do it with? No one, that's who.

4. Decorating/furnishing your apartment

Even if that just means hanging up some lights and a few old posters, you make it your own.

5. An always available support system

Need I say more?

6. Having a perpetual sleepover

You can have ice cream and wine any night of the week, and it's acceptable because you're technically always having a "sleepover", right?

7. Making questionable decisions too often

Refer back to #6.

8. A best friend

At the end of the day, your roommate is your best friend. And even if you know you won't be seeing them as much after graduation, you know you'll have countless memories to look back on and even more to make in the future.

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.
