An Open Letter To My Roommates

I couldn't have gotten luckier.

An Open Letter To My Roommates
Samantha Rockhill

Dear roomies,

I have been so blessed to be able to live with both of you for the last month, 2 weeks, and 5 days. To be honest I was terrified on move-in day that we wouldn't get along. But we don't just get along, we have one of the best roommate relationships out of all the freshmen I've met.

Thank you for the late night laughing fits, the once a week movie dates, inviting me to your friends, and being so welcoming to mine. I know that between our various classes, sports, jobs, social lives, and musical groups our schedules are crazy, but we always make time for each other. You have become my family.

Thank you for telling me funny stories about the bear in your high school, the summer plays you've been in, and all about awkward crushes. I love listening to Broadway tunes with you and can't wait to cheer you on at every swim meet! I love that we can talk about everything from God to politics (thank you for tolerating my rants) to your annoying chemistry class.

You are both such an encouragement to me, whether its sharing your cookies, making me laugh, giving me a hug, or just having something kind to say. Thank you for always having my back.

We're half a semester down, a quarter of the year, and you're still putting up with me. I can't wait for an amazing three more quarters with you.

And if you're not sick of me by the end of our freshman year...

We can room together next year.

Love,

A grateful roommate

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.
