A Letter to My Freshman Roommate

I LOVE YOU SARAH.

A Letter to My Freshman Roommate
SARAH

Dear Roomie,

Here are some (but definitely not all) of the wonderful memories we have had together.

We have gone to Starbucks together three times (at the time that this article was written). The first was when I first officially met you. I knew you were trustworthy because you were wearing a Little Mermaid T-Shirt. We went shopping for dorm things (including the CUTEST pillow that says "Dorm Sweet Dorm") and color-coordinated everything. It was PERFECT. Then it rained a whole lot, and I left my sunglasses in your car until August. It was a wonderful day. The second time was in Athens, before we went to see the movie "Nerve." We took Snapchat videos in the car and talked about fish (spoiler alert). We got the same drink, but mine was hot and yours was cold. Classic. The third time, is my personal favorite. I was sitting on the floor, studying, and you came in the room and said, "I wish we could get Starbuck's delivered," To which, I replied, "Man, I could go for some Starbucks right now." The next thing I knew, you were making fun of how I parked in the Tate deck (pictured below), and we were having a grand time.

Once, we stayed up until 2 a.m. listening to music in Spanish and talking about band. It was the greatest, even though I was exhausted the next day.

You've keep a steady count of how many times I lay on our dorm room floor, too, my favorite of which is this one:

You've been with be through all my Redcoat moments, which made us grow even closer. Here we are after our first half-time performance as Redcoats!


Then we got a fish, and named her Ziva. And then she died and we were sad.

I met a lot of people in my Freshman year. I made a lot of friends, but none of them will be the same as you! It has been a blessing to share a room and a friendship with you. I will never forget all the memories we've made together. Thank you for laughing, crying, and living with me. You are truly the best, and I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we get into in the future. We may not always live together, but we will always be friends. I love you!

Love,

Your roommate.

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.
