To My Future Roomies

I promise we'll have the best time of our lives

To My Future Roomies
Brooke Albright

A few days ago my roomies and I filled out the application and locked in spots together. I am so excited that I get to share a space with three amazing people. Since I grew up with two brothers I never knew what it was like to live with girls and to have people to basically call my sisters. I'm so excited but so nervous to finally get to experience this in full throttle. I thank you so much for choosing me as your roommate but, I'd like to apologize in advance for some things.

Dear Roomies,

Coming into college I was so scared I wasn't going to make forever friends, and I was going to be forced to leave college and live at home. It scared me the most to see everyone else making friends and going out and having fun but, me.

But then I met you.

This past year you've not only made me climb out of the miserable fog I was in but realize what I was missing for so long- friends who actually care. You made me realize that I don't have to know someone for seven years to feel completely connected and secure. You made me realize that sitting in and watching a movie and watching other girls strut down the hallway in their frat outfits is just as fun as chugging a beer and dancing for the night. You made me realize that if a friendship takes too much effort be in, it's not worth it.

This year I've toned my glutes climbing up the stairs to show you a text, or show you an outfit. I can't wait to be able to barge in your room, not even five steps away, I just can't wait to be living with you just like family does! I can't wait to make our apartment feel like home by decorating and making in comfy cozy in color schemes that are our fav! I can't wait to make dinners and blow of the crappy cafe food and actually tell our mothers that we are cooking! I can't wait to borrow each other's' clothes and being able to shuffle through closets to find the perfect outfit for the night. I can't wait to gossip, for study nights and for binge watching Netflix shows instead of finishing homework. I can't wait to call you my actual roommates!!

I'm sorry for the times I fall back into my miserable cloud and can't get out of it. I'm sorry for the times we fight and overreact about stupid little things. I'm sorry if I become a little too honest and hurt your feelings. I'm sorry for not cleaning up right away- but I promise it will get clean. I'm sorry for the nights I lock myself in my room because I'm just that upset. I'm sorry if sometimes I forget to ask how you're doing.

I promise to be your forever friend and to never let a fight tear us apart. I promise to always apologize-sometimes I promise to apologize first. I promise to no to judge you for your disgusting habits. I promise to love ya- and I promise to back you up in anything you get yourself into even if sometimes I don't agree with you. I promise to always take cute selfies of you (the off-guard ones are always the cutest) AND to always like your Instagram pictures.

I can't wait till we move in!

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.
