An Open Letter To My Roommate

Thanks for the fun, the laughs, the support, and the chocolate chip pancakes.

Dear Brianna,

Over the past 4 months of being roommates, it has been full of fun, laughs and support. When we decided to be roommates we didn’t know each other very well, but I have been so fortunate to get to know you. Now that we have been together for this adventure, I cannot imagine living with anyone else. Thank you for always being there with a smile and putting up with all of my craziness.

At first neither of us really knew what we were getting into, just that we were new AGD sisters with a shared love of band and The Flash. Once we moved in together, it was obvious that we make great roommates. I’m lucky to have found a friend who is just as weird and geeky as I am, with a love of BBC shows, Marvel, reading, musicals, etc. We had our “Did we just become best friends” moment almost as soon as we moved in when we realized we were in almost all of the same fandoms. Something brought us together and now I don’t think anything can tear us apart. Not even if The Doctor decided only one of us could travel with him. Actually maybe not. Sorry, not sorry.

It doesn’t feel like we have been living together for 4 months, but it really has been a full semester. There’s been weekends of adventure where we go out and do fun things for a change. We have had lots of nights of homework and stressing where we somehow manage to pull through. Thank you for helping me relax and take a few seconds to just chill. We watched a lot of DC shows, and a lot of Netflix. Plus a lot of chocolate chip pancakes.

You are my mom away from home, you take care of me even though you don’t have to. Making sure I don’t stay out too late, and I eat enough food. And the right food, some of the time anyway. Asking how my day went, or what I have to do for the rest of the night. Its nice to have someone that looks out for me. Thank you for caring for me, even when I don’t realize I need it.

I don’t know how you put up with me, I am definitely not an easy person. I laugh way too much and way too loud. I snore. I never leave my bed. Sometimes I have a little bit too much energy (if an awake bar happens to affect me badly), or too little. Sometimes you can be a handful though, too. Like those nights when it's 2 am and you can’t stop talking. But it's not just you, it's both of us, babbling in our giddy, giggly voices, exhausted but so giggly we have talk it out.

Having someone there to always have a laugh, or a cry with makes a big difference when I am stressed out and panicking. I hope that I make as much as a difference in your life as you do in mine. Thank you for being one of my best friends, and the best roommate a girl could ask for.

Thanks for sticking with me for so long and being such an incredible friend. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our roommate years have in store.

Loyally,

Your Loving and Annoying 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.
