An Open Letter To My Roommate

Dear Roommate,

First, I want to start off by saying that I am so excited to be living with you and conquering another year with you right by my side. As the summer comes to an end, we are sad to leave our homes, beds, friends, parents, and most importantly, our dogs. But it makes leaving a little bit easier knowing you'll be right there the whole time.

For the first time ever, I'll be living with my best friend and I couldn't be more thrilled! I absolutely cannot wait to have one long, constant sleepover. I can't wait for Bachelor viewings in our room on Monday's and movie nights all the time. I can't wait to have dance parties and eat calzones together at 2 a.m., and then wake up the next morning and enjoy coffee on the "terrace." And I especially can't wait to steal all of your clothes.

I promise to be a good roommate. I promise to ask before jacking your entire wardrobe, and to return the favor and let you borrow my clothes whenever you please. I promise to be quiet when I'm up early for classes, and to not get too annoyed with you when you're studying in your bed until midnight. I also promise to always be down to stuff my face with you when you want to go get snacks at the convenience store and pig out all night long. And I'll be down to galavant around when you want to be reckless and act like a fool for the night. But don't worry, I'll also be a good friend and keep you in line (lol), like when you want to go out the night before an exam, or when you try to show me funny vines until the wee hours of the morning to distract yourself from the fact that you have a lab report due. Nope, get studying girlfriend.

But seriously, thanks for being someone I know I can count on. Thanks for being the neat freak that you are, because it assures me that our room will always remain nice and tidy. Thanks for obsessing with me over our room and not stopping until it is beautifully coordinated. Thanks for being stylish and having the same shirt size as me, even though we'll never be able to share shoes (sad face).

I know this year is going to be one for the books. Befriending you freshman year was one of my best decisions yet, and deciding to live with you is right there with it. So, get ready to hear me complain and vent 24/7, and prepare your dopest playlist on Spotify. Cheers to sophomore year with you, Ash! xoxo

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.
