An Unexpected Journey: Roommate Edition

Not all those who wonder are lost--most of us just can't find roommates

I have had my share of roommates in my short 22 years of life (currently looking for what will be my fourth roommate in a year and a half). Thankfully, Jesus gave me an ineffable support group because "you need people of intelligence on this sort of...mission...quest...thing." - Peregrin Took aka Pippin

"Lord of the Rings" is one of my favorite stories for obvious reasons. The writing, the characters, the friendships, the quest. Much like "Lord of the Rings," finding a roommate can be a quest. With help from some really cool people, here is what it feels like to look for a roommate.

The moment you and your one cool roommate go separate ways:

And the realization that living alone is not practical hits you:

So you decide to post on social media because timelines are a thing:

But then you get these random messages from crazy people and you're like:

So the search continues:

Then you find a potential, fun, seemingly normal person but he/she goes from this:

To this:

Which forces you to be like:

But then you're all:

Because you're one positive, glass is always full, badass.

Finally, the moment comes to when you meet a great person who is not crazy, but super fun:

And the two (or more) of you are all:

If Frodo and Sam can simply walk the ring into Mordor, you can find a 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.
