Living With Friends

Friends are great companions.

Living With Friends
Khalea Armstrong

As a freshman in college, I stayed in the dorms for a whole year. I lived at the University of San Francisco Fromm Hall - this is the only all girls dorm hall.

I shared my dorm with two other girls from the Los Angeles Area. Personally, the dorm life was not for me. There was a mess occasionally in our dorm and most of the time it was not mine since I am a bit of a clean freak. At times the shower and restroom stalls were a mess, meaning blood and tampons and other unnecessary items or liquids.

Reminder: the only people able to use these stalls were female. My roommates were delightful people but since there was three of us in one small dorm, it felt overwhelming and crowded most of the time. I made other friends since day one of college and more throughout the year. Most of them did not live in the same dorm hall as me. They lived on the other side of campus.

There were times where I had to walk back and forth just to hang out with them which made it a hassle.

Our household bonds like this too

A good thing is, I just started a new year as a sophomore and I moved out of the dorms. I'm renting and living with some of my best friends. I rarely go out now and because the people I hang out with I literally live with. I also don't have the time to be going out as much as freshman year. So far in our journey, we have established some boundaries between ourselves as housemate but nothing too serious. I have my own room and personal space so everything is running smoothly. I feel very blessed and relieved that I live with three other friends. We are also very understanding of different study habits and other necessities in our household. Every other night we have movie nights, date nights or even special occasion nights as well. We basically work together to do things in and out of our household which is very uniting.

Most people have mentioned to never live with your friends because it won't end well. Luckily all four of us have no problem with dealing with each other thus far.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

Kinder Self - Eyes

You're Your Own Best Friend

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
