An Open Letter To My Roomies

The three best strangers I could have asked for.

An Open Letter To My Roomies
Bailey Fuimaono

Dear roomies,

It’s kind of crazy that a short seven months ago we were all basically strangers to each other. Living in this apartment with you three has really been a blessing, and it breaks my heart to think that in just four months we’ll all be going our separate ways once again. I truly could not picture my second year of college being spent with anyone else.

I know it sounds cheesy but I really do not know where I would be without you all. You guys were the reason that I got through the hardest breakup I’ve ever been through, and if it wasn’t for your unconditional love and support I would probably still be trying to get back together with my ex. You showed me that I deserve better than anything he could have ever offered me. You made me a stronger and more driven person and you all pushed me to be the best that I can be.

We have shared experiences and adventures that I will go on to tell my children about. From parties in our apartment to Mexico or even turning a six hour power outage into a strange adventure, there isn’t anything that we can’t turn into a story that all of our friends want to hear about. Even if we’re just sitting in the kitchen making dinner there’s always a small chance that one of us might start a small fire. There really is never a boring moment in this apartment.

I want to thank you all for making sure that our apartment was so drama free and non-toxic. Every time I hear about people who are having roommate issues I thank my lucky stars that I have never had any problems with you guys except for a few dishes here and there. There was never anything that happened between us that we couldn’t fix with a conversation and some brownies.

I still look back and think how crazy it was that we all just kind of moved in together on a whim. I remember when we all first met up at the end of last year at Starbucks to see if we would be a good match and I was so nervous. I was scared that you guys were going to find out on the spot just how strange I really am. Moving in was terrifying too because I still knew nothing about you three and all I knew was my moms random roommate horror stories, and I didn’t want to have stories like that of my own. I never expected it to turn out to be one of the most fun years of my life.

I am going to miss you three so much next year, just thinking about it makes me want to cry a little bit. No roommates will ever compare to you three, and I would not want it any other way. I can’t wait to be living with you three crazy girls again senior year. Thank you for being the best strangers I ever could have asked for.

Love, Bailey

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.
