Almost Everything You Need to Know

Dear Future Roomie
Alex Wilmes

Dear future roommate,

Hi, we've met before! I'm sure you have gathered that much like that opening line, I'm pretty awkward. We've covered the basics: what times we like to shower, relationship status, how we will communicate when there's an issue, etc. I can't imagine any conversation we could ever have could fully prepare you for life with me. I, like most people, have a bunch of little quirks that I think you should be aware. To keep the emphasis of how awkward I am, I made a list of all those quirks:

1. Sometimes I make animal noise when I wake up

2. I always make animal noises when I'm stressed out

3. I watch a lot of cartoons

4. I drop literally everything

5. No seriously, I will wake you up at least once a week, sorry.

6. My sleeping schedule is whacked.

7. Sometimes I will sleep all day

8. Sometimes I'll forget to eat all day and you'll have to witness me pig out.

9. I drink pretty close to the lethal amount of caffeine several days a week; trust me I've googled it.

10. I love sushi and our fridge will reflect that

11. My car might explode at any given time

12. I'm really awesome at locking my keys in the room

13. There's a possibility I won't say anything to you all day

14. Most days you'll be begging me to shut up

15. I'm a pro sleeper; you're going to walk into the room with all the lights on and find me dead asleep

16. I often leave the room in a panic because I forgot to do something

17. I have no filter

18. I'm obsessed with my Brita

19. I will overly decorate my walls

20. I'm really bad at picking outfits, please help me

21. I can get really messy, please just yell at me.

22. You may find several bowls of ramen around the room one night, that's a sign that my best friend is in town.

23. I will mention I have something because you can use it, I'm not bragging

24. I really love sitting on the floor

25 I like sleeping on the floor too

26.My friends are just as weird as I am

27. My hair sheds literally everywhere

28. I have to set multiple alarms for every day I need to be up because I play "new phone who dis" with the first three alarms

29. My coffee maker is really loud

30. I'm really loud

31. My morning breath is an uglier problem than crocs

32. I have been known to be a frequent crier from time to time

33. I've been called cold-hearted more than once.

34. Sometimes I make a bunch of impulsive decisions, say oopsie, and come home at midnight ready to gossip for 3 hours.

35. There are so many names of people I will mention who will be irrelevant in less than a month

36. I remember little details/ weird things. You might be surprised when I know your aunt's name, favorite chocolate, and the boy that broke your heart's name and every shitty thing he's done. Mention it once and I'll remember it!

37. I'm oddly great with names and faces... Of people, I don't really know.

38. I am the ring leader of a one man shit show

39. I will be there for you regardless of the time or situation

Future roomie here's to you! You are going to be a pro at dealing with random nonsense by the time we survive our first semester together. All of my flaws aside, I'm super excited to live with you!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
