Thank you for being some of the best roommates I've had.

​An Open Letter To My College Roommates
colin's snapchat

Thank you for putting up with me. This time last year I was in a rut. I did not know who I was going to be living with for the next school year. I didn’t know what to do when my original plans fell through, sort of. But then you all came into my life. To Carrie, Alyssa, and Colin, you are all the best.

Carrie, you’re just okay... I’m just kidding. You’re actually really great. I really enjoy our endless talks. But most of all I enjoy our random Nerf Gun fights and screaming like banshees at random hours of the day. You’ve been through a lot this year, but you never let that get you down. And if it did, it wasn’t for long. You are an amazing person, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

Alyssa, you are a kind soul. I know you have been through a lot in your life. In fact, you’ve been through more stuff than most of us can relate too. But you are a strong individual, both physically and mentally. You get stressed out, but you rarely ever show it. I am very grateful that we are going through the horror that is grammar together. To be honest, I would probably have dropped the course by now if I was going through it alone.

Colin, as I said to Alyssa last year at 10k bingo, you are a keeper. You are the dad of our townhouse. You do all the “manly” stuff for the house, except for dealing with spiders that hang on our back door. Trust me when I say this, all that you do does not go unnoticed.You are always there to talk when I need it, and the same goes for you. With that being said, you are also weird at times.

To all three of you, thank you for putting up with me. I know I may not be the cleanest roommate. My stuff is usually all throughout our place. But I really do try to keep that to a minimum as much as possible. I really enjoy our “family dinners”, our binge-watching anything and everything Netflix, and our nights filled with baking. To think that this time last year I went from having nothing in common with my roommate to having three of the best roommates I could’ve asked for, all in a year’s time, is a bit astounding.

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.
