An Apology To My Freshman Roommate

You weren't so bad after all.

An Apology To My Freshman Roommate
Mike Daum

Long Lost Roommate,

Most of these things usually start off with a bunch of thank you's or some sort of reminiscing. This isn't the case today. Today, I'd like to give you my most sincerest apology.

I know how much of a clean freak you are and how one of your fears was that I'd be a complete slob. Sorry for making that fear a reality. I know my lack of cleaning, taking out the trash and making my bed must have been annoying for you. Especially having to look at my abundance of shoes that covered the floor under my bed. And to justify my unmade bed, your bed wasn't lofted so you don't understand the struggles of having to make a bed that is lofted five feet in the air. The struggle was real whenever I attempted the chore.

Along with that I want to apologize for the countless times our room was turned into a beauty shop. I know the dorms are no place for cutting hair, but sometimes, our friends get impatient and wouldn't take no for an answer. Their hair was everywhere and sometimes the floor got so wet we needed a caution sign. Oh, I can't forget how Smith 821's beauty shop liked to strictly play Luke Bryan Radio. I know how much you dislike country music. But music that sounds like it's straight from the hood isn't the most professional at times.

One of my biggest apologies has to be for always causing noise complaints. Constantly having the police, RA and RD knock on the door because I watch "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" loudly isn't cool. I'm not sure how one can watch TV loud enough to get a noise complaint when we never got complaints from our weekend jam sessions, but as we know, it's possible. Oh yeah, that one time I got a noise complaint for screaming bloody murder, sorry for that too.

My last apology comes from the heart. It's the last thing I'm sorry for and I hope you accept. The amount of times I put a song on repeat while playing it on the "Beats Pill," was not acceptable. We listened to "One Dance," "Pop Style," "Come And See Me" and numerous other songs too many times. Sometimes I'm not sure how you put up with my terrible DJ skills and never complained. I also want to throw in a little sorry for the countless times I paused a song, rewound it and then played it again so I could Snapchat myself singing it with a weird filter on my face.

I miss you and I can't wait for the continued movie nights in the fall.

Love,

Muhris

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.
