An Open Letter To The Boys Who Live Above Me

The words we're all thinking but would never say to our upstairs neighbors.

An Open Letter To The Boys Who Live Above Me
Faith Martin

I feel like I should start off by saying it's amazing how much closer we've gotten already this year. It's funny to think that I barely even knew your faces last year and now that you guys are my upstairs neighbors I've discovered so much about you. For example, I know you guys love to bump music all the time. One of your favorite times being the second I decide to snuggle up under my covers at about 3 a.m. on a Wednesday after spending the night in the library preparing for an exam. I know you like to sing along to the All American Rejects as you do your homework. And, yes, that also means I know you're tone deaf.

I apologize for all the passive-aggressive sass, and part of me envies the lack of work and commitments you guys seem to have. I'm truly jealous you're able to partake in the joyous holiday most commonly known as Thirsty Thursday, but I would appreciate if you kept the less fortunate in mind and just maybe called it quits when quiet hours roll around. I would also be content if you could drop the bass a little less frequently or a little softer. Or maybe I'd be a little less salty if I got an invite to chill once or twice.

I do have a few questions for you; one of them being do you happen to own an elephant as a pet? I live in constant fear that one or both of you are going to fall through my ceiling. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I've been awoken from my slumber by the pounding I'm hesitant to call footsteps. I've seen you before and I know neither of you are overweight so I'm more confused about how you distribute your weight with each step. Not once do I hear calm footsteps. I would also like to know if you guys sprint everywhere you go. You know, you can walk to your bed once you shut the light off; the monsters under your bed won't eat you, I promise. This one may not be your fault entirely, however. It could just be the acoustics in the building so I met let this one go.

I also wonder if you hear the knocks on your floor that are produced by yours truly, standing on a desk chair and pounding the ceiling with a vacuum. Do you purposely ignore them or are you just that oblivious to your surroundings? Or maybe you think it's just part of the bass line of Drake's new song...

Maybe one of these days I'll muster up the courage to say hi, introduce myself, and then yell at you for being obnoxious. But until then, I'll continue to curse you under my breath when I pass you walking to class and angrily text my mother regarding your actions.

Best,

The Girl Who Lives Below You

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.
