An Appreciation Letter For The Random Roommate That Became My Best Friend

As much as you wanted to smack every time I belted out "High School Musical" songs, thanks for just tuning me out.

An Appreciation Letter For The Random Roommate That Became My Best Friend
Celina Aquino

Dear my most favorite but also least favorite person in the world (depending on the day),

Random roommates are either hit or miss. Not everyone gets lucky with the girls they get paired up with for their housing. I consider myself lucky (I guess) for ending up with you last year. At first, it was rough because we hardly exchanged words, but once we got through the awkward stage, we became the most dynamic duo. I am grateful for having you in my life now.

Not to sound too cheesy or anything, you made the past semester one for the books.

Thank you for being my rock. I appreciate all the times you sat with me while I had a meltdown. You didn't let me deal with my issues by myself. You helped me in any way you could to make every bad situation better. When I felt like I couldn't do it, you were there to encourage me not to give up (even though sometimes we both tend to say "Screw it!' and just binge watch shows to cope). For the times I would be irrational, you talked some sense into me and never let me make regrettable decisions.

You thought I was the voice of reason, but, in reality, it was always you.

Thank you for letting me talk your ear off. I know, I know I talk too much, so I am really thankful you haven't duct taped my mouth yet. In all seriousness, I probably would have lost my sanity if I didn't have you to talk to. I was able to let a lot of things off my chest. I learned to open up more instead of always bottling everything up until I explode.

Thank you for helping me work on myself for the better.

I thought I could do it on my own. You taught me things that I wouldn't have learned by myself. You taught me to listen to people more. You taught me not to take life too seriously. You also showed me how to become a better friend.

Before I forget, thank you for participating in my shenanigans. Your adventurous spirit is one of the many things I admire about you. I couldn't imagine someone else being my partner in crime. Your energy matched my energy. We might have gotten ourselves in a lot of pickles, but now we have really good stories to tell. You already know we are going to make more memories.

Now I know what my dad meant when he told me I would find my person in college. He didn't mean THAT special someone. He meant THAT friend who will stick with you through everything in life. It's you. I cannot wait to annoy you with my friendship for the rest of our lives! I hope you learn to enjoy me randomly singing Disney songs because you're stuck with me forever!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
