Thank you for everything.

A Thank You Letter To My Freshman Year Roommate
George Morgan

Only a handful of people get to have a roommate that is also their best friend. I just happened to get lucky.

You might not have been my roommate from the start, but I wouldn't change a thing. We didn't become roommates until the start of second semester, but it was a huge blessing to be able to switch rooms.

I have had such an amazing time my second half of freshman year of college. I feel like I can easily attribute that to you. My first semester was a little rough -- you know all about that.

We are so alike, I swear we were meant to be sisters. It's almost a little bit scary. Every dumb decision you make, is also made by me in different context. For example, boys. I think that's all I have to say.

We have the same taste in music, TV shows, shoes, you name it. It's scary how alike we are, but I love it so much.

As I watch you while I write this, I can't help but smile. I'm so glad I found my person. My best friend.

We constantly bicker and that is something I genuinely cherish. Whether it's about what time we leave for our 8 am, what brand your hair straightener is, or what seat we each sit in on the way to the store, I wouldn't change a thing. I won't be able to bicker with you that much this summer because of the 3-hour distance drive, so I want to get enough of these moments in as possible.

I said that we were scarily alike, but I think that's the wrong adverb. We're beautifully alike. Yeah, there might be some people think that the two of us together are annoying or they might not like us, but I wouldn't want anyone else to be goofy with. I don't care what they think, we are two peas in a pod. Salt and pepper.

A lot of people meet their best friend for life in college, and I hope that's true for us. I want to stay best friends forever, I want to live in the same neighborhood and I want your kids to call me "Aunty." I want to be the sister you've never had.

I might get angry at you sometimes and I might need time to cool off, but that doesn't mean I don't love you. I wouldn't ask anyone else for relationship advice, and I wouldn't want anyone else to tell me what shoes to wear with my outfit.

I love being goofy with you, I love shopping with you, I love it all. You saved me from a lot of bad things when I moved into this room. I feel like you were my ticket out of hell. It was perfect, and I'm forever grateful I got the chance to be your freshman year roommate. Now we get to be sophomore year apartment roommates, and probably junior and senior year too.

Thank you for not hating me. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being my best friend. I love you.

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.

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.
