An Open Letter To My Freshman Roommate

To my freshman roommate,

Thanks. Thank you for being my first friend in the scary place we call college. From early mornings to late nights, you were always there. Whenever I came home from class or practice, I knew I had someone I could vent to. You know me better than anyone, mainly because I talk in my sleep. But you were there those late nights I got home sick, you were there after my injuries, you were always there. You were my mother, therapist, and friend all wrapped in one. Now, I know its been a few years since we’ve lived together but you still seem to be relevant in my life. You are my best friend, you have become my sister. You are there early mornings when I want to get breakfast and there for the late nights that I want to go out and also force me to do my homework (which I hate). They say college is a scary place but when you have a great roommate you get through it a lot better. There have been highs and lows in our friendship, but I am confident you will always be there. So throughout the next few years when we are trying to figure out what we are doing with our lives I’m glad to know you’ll always be there for me. College is where you find your bridesmaids and I have found mine.

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.
