11 Promises To My Future Roommate
Sunshineandpearls

I want to say thank you in advance, for all of the selfless things you will do for me throughout this upcoming year. I’d like to make you some promises that I will keep over the next year to ensure that I am just as good of a roommate to you as I know you will be to me.

1. I promise to learn from you.

I will never be too stubborn to change my ways.

2. I promise to always share my wine.

Because sharing is caring. And even though you can’t buy happiness, you can buy wine, and since that’s pretty much the same thing, let’s both pour a glass of happy.


3.I promise to listen to all of your problems.

Even if it is 2am, if you have something on your mind, let it be on mine as well.


4. I promise to never be annoyed at your complaints.

I can assure you, for every complaint you have, I probably have about five more.


5. I promise to never take you for granted.

Even though I have a roommate that will be my best friend, support system, and Mom living five feet away from me, I will never stop appreciating everything you do for me.


6. I promise to always be your biggest fan.

You will have some successes and some failures this year, but through it all, I will be there cheering you on.

7. I promise to try and be quiet when I wake up before you.

I know that in my head, I am a lot quieter than I actually am. With that being said, I also promise to apologize for every cabinet, drawer, or door I accidentally slam.

8. I promise to act like your mom, but only sometimes.


Everyone needs someone to text them and make sure they are okay when it’s 1am and still aren’t back to the room.


9. I promise to be completely honest with you.

As hard as it may be to hear, I’m going to tell you if your outfit doesn’t look right.

10. I promise not to eat your food.

I would take this promise a little lighter than the others, you know I can't resist a good cookie.

11. I promise to make this the best year yet.

Hopefully the only tears we cry this year will be from laughing too hard.


Let’s make the most of this year together. As we grow individually and our opinions start to differ, let’s not lose sight of our friendship; I can promise you, I won’t.

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.
