To My Freshman Year Roommates

To the girls I'll spend the next year with.

Freshman year can be scary. You're in a whole new place with people you barely know, miles away from everything you do know. You go from having your own huge room with all your stuff to sharing a small space with other people. While this can be a challenge, it can also bring you some of the greatest memories and even greater friends you could think of.

So, to my "froomies,"

First off, let me apologize for so many things. I'm sorry for the times I will leave my stuff in the most random places. I am not the neatest person, but I promise I am trying, so just bear with me. I'm sorry for the times I will get so unbearably homesick. I know I will have so much fun with you guys, but sometimes I will just want to run home, so please don't take it personal. I am sorry for the times I will have random mood swings. I am sorry for the times I will get on your last nerve. I am sorry for the times you will want to strangle me. I know we won't always get along, but I hope we can always work through our differences.

I am beyond excited. I cannot wait for our many adventures like going to Uptown and going on road trips. I also can't wait for the nights we just stay in and watch Netflix. I know this year will be filled with many memories with you guys, and I honestly cannot wait.

There's also a few things you should know since we're going to be living together for the next year. Know that at times I love to blast rap music and dance, while other times I want to just sleep in silence. Know that I love Spongebob and will almost always have a reference to use in any given situation. You should also know that when I get sick, I am a complete baby, so I will need you to mother me. Also know that I am there for you. You may feel weird talking to basically a stranger about things, but I promise I will be there whether it be about a class, friends, or how homesick you are.

I love you guys. While we have only known each other for a few months, I know you are all great people and I'm so lucky to call you my roommates. I hope we only get closer as the year goes by. We have already had such great times together and I know this is only the beginning. Thank you in advance for everything you will do for me this year. I know I will be hard to handle, but I promise to try my best to make this the best year for all of us. From the late night study dates, to early morning breakfast before class, to our shopping trips, to football games, I know this year will be one for the books and I am so excited to get to spend it with y'all by my side.

Much love,

Your roomie

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.
