How My Roommate Became My Sister
Mariana Trodella

Dear Roomie,

We met in the Facebook group for Manhattanville College admitted students to the class of 2019. I knew I wanted to find a roommate so that I didn't have to go random. I saw you posted something about yourself and it seemed like we had a lot in common so I figured I would be totally awkward and message you. I didn't put much thought into us being roommates at first because I hardly knew you, but after us talking for a little while, I thought we might be a good match as roommates. When I finally asked if you wanted to room together you were so excited and said that you would love to. I was so excited too.

Over the summer we talked almost every day, getting to know each other, and talking about how we would decorate our room. We seemed like we were exactly the same person and I knew before we even met that we had made the right decision.

When move in day came around, I couldn't wait to finally meet you.That day itself was so hectic and we realized that we had so much stuff we didn't know where we were going to fit everything. We settled in and awkwardly had small talk for the first day. I remember you reached down to grab food under your bed and I thought you were praying!

As weeks went by, we went into the city, went on roomie dinner dates and even completely rearranged our room. We were there for eachother through the good bad and the ugly.

From random dance parties during snow storms, to ordering cheesy bread at 12:30 in the morning to stumbling back into the room late at night, our friendship grew and our bond started to become unbreakable.

I knew you had become like a sister to me because we never had any problems. We were always able to be honest to each other. We could tell eachother everything and could trust each other. Trust is important.

We have gone on so many adventures and now are planning on all of our future adventures as well. I know that no matter what our futures have in store for us, I have found a life long friend, and sister in you.

I love you forever.

-Your roomie. XOXO

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.
