I Miss Living With My Best Friend

No offense to my family, I love living with y'all too. It's just different.

I Miss Living With My Best Friend
Josie Murray

This school year, I started living with my best friend in the whole world. We were also living with a couple of random roommates, and it was really fun getting to know them. But then COVID-19 came around and flipped all of us on our heads, and changed our lives as we knew them.

I didn't live with my best friend in the dorms, but we had been planning to live together in college since we both realized we wanted to attend the same university. This was something countless people told me to be careful of, and in all of their stories it only went one of two ways: the friendship grew stronger and they are still friends, or they were so toxic living together that they are no longer friends. But I had no doubts. I had spent weeks at a time staying with her and her family, and she would stay with mine, so we both knew each other's living style. And I freaking miss living with her.

There are so many things that are different living at home right now, aside from the obvious personal change. What I miss the most are the little things I didn't realize I would miss. I miss hearing her walk into the apartment knowing she's home for the night. I miss our short talks in the kitchen at one in the morning getting a snack before bed. I miss her coming into my room, saying something ridiculous, and walking away. I miss her getting bored and asking to do my makeup and take pictures together.

But mostly, I just miss having her presence around me. Knowing she's there any time that I may need her is so comforting. She knows me better than anyone, and I can tell her anything. And while I love my family and talking to them, it's a different dynamic. Being home is nice, and I get to spend some quality time with my human family and my fur babies.

As sad as I know it makes my mom, I honestly cannot wait to go back to everyday life alongside my best friend.

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.
