A Letter To My Roommates And Our Final Semester

Let the tears and the wine flow this semester.

A Letter To My Roommates And Our Final Semester

To my favorite pals, froomies, and snuggle buddies,

Now that we have survived one semester of senior year, I am gonna be honest and say I don't think that I will be able to pull that off a second time. The night before school started, it hit me like a wrecking ball that this is it; this is our final semester of being lazy, crazy, and semi-selfish (OK, more than semi). In just five short months, we will be packing up our apartment and trying to make plans to meet during the summer, but before we do that we have some unfinished business.

First off, that bucket list is only half complete. So get ready to brunch, play with puppies, and kiss a stranger, because we have a lot left to do. No more making excuses and no more staying in on a Friday night. I pledge (lol sorry for my corniness) to not make excuses about why I shouldn't go out. I really don't need those eight hours of sleep every single night (but most nights, yes) and Netflix will be there every other night. Let's try and go to as many parties as we can because, let's be honest, in six months we will actually have to pay for our alcohol and that's no fun.

Second, there will be tears. The emotions are gonna be strong this semester and now I have reached a point where I am just gonna let it happen. It's our last first day of classes? Tears. It's our last date function? More tears. Taking senior pics on the quad? Sobbing. So as preparation, let's have a roomie bonding of buying plenty of tissues and waterproof mascara (and wine, cause why not?).

Lastly, lets just live by the motto Y.O.S.O (yes, I made up my own motto). This will be "You Only Senior (year) Once." Let's take chances and be a little crazy. This is the last time when we will all be living together and not having major responsibilities yet. Let's have weeks filled with Trivia nights, Wine nights, The Bachelor nights (ily Ben H) and so much more. I motion for more apartment dinners together and spending more time with each other during the week. Motion accepted? Perfect.

You are my favorite cuddle buddies, gossip girls, and workout partners. You keep me sane and make me laugh when I feel like crying. Can't wait to take on this final semester with you. Thank you for being you.

ily a milly,

The girl at the end of the hall

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.
