An Open Letter to My Roommate

Living with someone can make or break a friendship, but living with you has only proven the strength our friendship has.

An Open Letter to My Roommate

To My Amazing Roommate,

When I first moved into my dorm, I had this idea that my roommates and I would be lifelong friends. I blame all of the cheesy early 2000's movies I watched, because the college roommates in those movies always got along.

As you know, that's definitely not the relationship I had with my first set of roommates. They were less than spectacular, but when I moved in with you I finally got the kind of roommate every girl dreams of having in college.

I'm so thankful I can live with someone that supports me in everything I do. Whether it's supporting my career path or the crazy things I do in school, you push me to be the best version of myself and you make sure I get my stuff done. You support my makeup obsession and my love home decor.

I know I can be a handful sometimes and my obsessive tendencies about the dishes is probably very annoying. But you love me anyways. The nights when both of us are home and we can just watch movies together and catch up are nights that I'll always remember.

Thank you for helping with me through my heart break and making sure I always know that I'm better than some boy who doesn't want me. There are times when I think I'm fine and then all of a sudden the pain hits me like a bus. But you're always there to help me and remind me that I'm better off without him. And sometimes you yell at me for even mentioning him because you know I need to hear it.

Thank you for going on random shopping adventures with me and always being up to share a pizza with me. Let's face it, college sucks and there are those nights when all you want is pizza. Even at 3:00 in the morning. You support my 3am pizza needs and that's a special quality.

Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick and for making sure I always go to class/work. Despite my love for sleep. Thank you for embracing my love of not wearing pants and for only laughing at me for a little bit when you come home to me in an outrageous face mask.

Thank you for watching hours of Say Yes To The Dress and Jersey Shore with me and loving every minute of it. Thank you for sharing my love of throwback music and dancing with me to Jesse McCartney on a Tuesday night instead of doing our homework (which we usually regret later but it's too much fun not to do).

I never had a sister but living with you feels like I finally got one, as disgustingly lame as that sounds. We get on each others nerves, no doubt, but we have one hell of a time together and that's what having a roommate is supposed to be like.

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.
