10 Attributes Every Great Roommate Has That Makes You Wonder How You Ever Lived Without Them
Jenna Pizzi

The person you live with better be someone you can handle almost every second of every day. If not, good luck.

But, if you're lucky enough to have a roommate you love, then no worries. These are attributes every great roommate has...do you have one?

1. Listens to you about your day

I just need like 10 solid minutes to vent about my rude teacher or stupid project or horrible test grade that I just got. All you have to do is nod and frown. Thanks, much appreciated.

2. Helps you pick out your outfits

A good roommate always has a good fashion sense. It's always nice to have a personal stylist live two inches away.

"Does this match?"

"Do you like this shirt with these pants?"

3. Lets you borrow their clothes

"You know that really cute shirt you just bought...yeah, I might need to borrow that...like now..."

4. Gives you medicine when you are sick

Thank you for being my mom while she's miles away.

5. Brings you back food

There is no better feeling than when your roommate knows exactly what you order. For everything. Ugh, she spoils me.

6. Tells you when you should possibly brush your hair before you leave the room

"Um... you might want to fix... whatever is going on with your hair..."

7. Isn’t afraid to tell you when you look terrible

"You better not walk out the door like that. Put on the white shirt. You don't even match right now." The sound of love.

8. Has movie nights together

Sorry, we are the cutest roommates ever. No, you can not join.

9. Calms you down when you are stressed

Again, thanks for being my mom for now. I really did need that hug. You get me.

10. Always has your back

I wouldn't trade you for anyone. Thank you for always being there when I need you and for dealing with me when I'm annoying.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
