When You Find The Perfect Roommates
Amber Selfridge

Roommates. Love them or hate them, you can't live without them. Freshman year of college can be a stressful time, but with the help of some pretty great roommates, live can be pretty great. Whether you were randomly assigned or knew them from high school, learning to live with new people in a new environment can be very challenging. After a few weeks, you can tell if the next 30 weeks are going to be great or torturous. Finding the perfect people to live with can be stressful, but once you know it, you know it. Living with your roommates will be like a new adventure everyday and there will be new things to laugh at all of the time. Your jokes and memories will be great in the moment and even better when thinking back on them. College is a time to find yourself and while that can be difficult and frustrating, having some good friends to go to your dorm with and lay on the floor and cry is one of the best stress relievers in the world. While finding new friends at school, knowing that you have a couple of friends in your dorm to go and hang out with and talk to about things going on in your life is great and a great support system. Having built-in best friends that you get to live with is great and exciting. Knowing that in ten years you will look back and laugh at all of the memories that you have together will be something entertaining and a hilarious way to reminisce. Living with people that you click with and rarely ever have conflicts with is a privilege that some people never get to experience, but when you have it, it is something amazing. To my roommates, thank you for putting up with me on my good, bad and ugly days. I love you guys and would not want to change anything, even if I could.

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.
