An Open Letter To My Best Friend, Now That We're Roommates

Dear Best Friend/Roommate,

Where do I even start; looking back two years ago I never would've suspected that the loud, weird girl I met at Orientation the summer before freshman year would end up being my best friend and my roommate. Never would I have thought that I would've meet such an amazing person right off the bat. Meeting you and getting to know you was easily one of the best things to ever happen to me. It’s so hard to believe that we made it this far and have gotten as close as we are now, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

All I can think about when writing this is my first impression of you, and how I never thought we would be friends let alone roommates, but then that magical day came, the day I saw you in J and H and it all went downhill from there. I’ll never forget that night when we had our first sleepover, literally we spent your first night at temple together! From then on we just grew closer and closer. From the countless late night Insomnia trips, or getting Jimmy Johns three times a week (lol why were we lowkey rich freshman year) to our Liz and Nick nights where we watch Bob’s Burgers and just bitch about our day. I can’t believe how much we have grown since then.


Looking back at last year aka the psycho sophomore year. What an eventful one, from our major crisis to the daily dramas of Nick and Liz to #justlizthings. So much happened last year and I don’t know if I would’ve made it through without you. I have to say some of our best times sophomore year were definitely getting to explore the city and distribute together! Even though we both dread distributing every time we do it, it's always a good time when we go together. Through the ups and the downs you’ve always been there for me and I love you so much for that.

Now fast forward to this year, less than a month that we’ve been roommates and I couldn’t be any happier, living with my best friend. Not gonna lie, at first it was an adjustment, but now that I’m used to it I absolutely love it. I love our morning conversations (aka us moaning and groaning at each other until our coffee is done), our late night roommate talks, and our movie and face mask nights. Living in the same apartment as you has been one of the best experiences of my life, so far.


I wanted to take some time to say thank you. Thank you for everything. For always being there for me, for always being a shoulder to cry on. I don’t tell you this enough but without you my college experience wouldn’t be the same at all. Thank you for doing the things you do around our home, cleaning, the occasional cooking, and all that. It makes my life a lot easier. Thank you for the food (literally eating your Uncrustable while writing this). With you in the house I know I will never come home to an empty fridge and empty cabinets. Thank you for always having my back and for constantly being there to listen to me rant and scream. Most of all Liz, thanks for the memories( even though they weren’t so great).

Love,

Nick

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.
