A Goodbye Letter To My Roommate

It's been one eventful year!

A Goodbye Letter To My Roommate

While I have two other suite mates, I wanted to write a goodbye letter to the specific roommate who chose to live with me after meeting me over the Facebook page. My freshman year wouldn't have been the same without her.

Thank you for picking me.

Well of course I have to thank you for seeing my Facebook post on the Class of 2019 page, messaging me, and wanting to room with me after a few weeks of talking. It was obvious how much we had in common, and I'm so glad we were able to find each other.

I'm so glad we are both night people and on the same time schedule.

It was honestly the best feeling to know that when I had to stay up until 2 a.m. to do work, you were doing the same right across from me. We both understand that mornings aren't fun and that night time is the best time to get anything done. Well maybe not the best, but I guess that's just when you and I seem to get motivation for anything.

I love that we always got along and never fought.

I don't know about you, but it was a breeze having you as a roommate. We never got into petty fights or argued, and we always understood each others point of views. For the entire year I don't even think we ever had any real problems. Considering how many horrible roommate stories I've heard, it really makes me appreciate how well we lived together.

Thank you for decorating the room with me, and always splitting the costs of things.

With the chairs, futon, rugs, fridge/microwave, and decorations, it was amazing that we agreed on a room theme (Paris) and chose who would purchase/bring what. It made the moving-in process so nice and relaxing.

It was great that I could vent to you when I was angry, or we could just look at each other and know how we were feeling.

Half the time you didn't even need to say anything, and I knew that you were frustrated or stressed or even super excited! I always knew we had each other to vent to or talk to whenever it was needed.

Thank you for being a great roommate and an even better friend.

Whether we were studying, talking, eating, or partying, I've loved having you as my roommate. It will be hard next year not being able to come to the dorm and see you every day, but luckily we have two classes together so you can't get rid of me too fast!

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.
