College roommates are honestly the greatest blessings.

9 Reasons Your College Roommates Are The Best
Caroline Warner

Picking random roommate assignment was honestly one of the best decisions I've made for my freshman year of college. I was scared at first because I didn't know what to expect, but they're honestly some of the best people on this earth. Here are nine reasons why your college roommates are the absolute greatest:

1) They let you eat their food, even if they secretly don't want you to.

I'm guilty of this one, I eat my roommates' meals all the time, but I share my food too!

2) You wear each other's clothes.

I have something they like, they have something I like. It's a mass clothing swap. We've all raided each other's closets at least once or twice at this point.


3) They give the best advice.

We all make dumb mistakes. Your roommates are their to give you advice on boys, clothes, classes, etc. (and let's be honest, they give the greatest advice, too).

4) They cook for you.

Oh and speaking of food, my roommates have made food for the whole apartment. And it's good. Reaaaally good. Bless them. (and I still need to make a meal for them, speaking of).

5) There's no judgment on how sloppy you look.

I've not once dressed up fancy for class, and neither have my roommates. There's never any judgement or comments about how we dress, because we are think "same."

6) If you hate someone, they hate that person, too.

You come home and rant about someone you despise and it's go time girls! We all bash the same person together, regardless of if we know them or not.

7) They stop you from doing stupid things.

This also goes back to the advice. Roommates prevent one another from making decisions we will regret later on. They will definitely call you out on it before you press the send button.

8) They laugh with you and at you.

My roommates have laugh attacks on the daily, it's expected. One of us always does something weird, but we choose to laugh anyways.

9) They're there for you no matter what.

My roommates have been with me through some tough moments, and vice versa. We help each other through the good and the bad. Altogether, we just love each other so, so much, and want the best for one another.

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.
