Getting A Bad Housing Lottery Number, As Told By Chandler Bing

Recently at Fairfield University, members of the classes of 2017 and 2018 received their housing lottery numbers for next year. While many were happy with their number, others were left feeling frustrated with their fate from the housing lottery, myself included. To lighten the mood for all of us who were out of luck with the housing lottery, Chandler Bing from "Friends" can explain very well how we all felt during the process!

The idea of having a townhouse is so exciting! It is what we have all been looking forward to since our days of knocking and being asked, "Who do you know here?"

We won't even have to worry about getting a good number... it has to work out for us!

And then you begin to hear horror stories of people getting bad numbers, but remember that probably won't happen to you

And then the e-mail finally comes out with lottery numbers

And you're scrolling through to find your group's number

And you see... 179/192

Then you see everyone else who is ahead of you in the lottery

Oh, but then you get another e-mail that you can't go to Pick Night!

And all of your friends start to talk about how they got the worst number ever, when in reality, yours is worse

You and your roommates begin to imagine your life living in a cardboard box in the middle of the Townhouses

And that you'll never be able to see any of your other friends again

Now everyone's talking about the possible situations for next year

And then you remember there's nothing you can do about it because it's a random lottery

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.
