An Open Letter To My Roommate On Her Birthday Before Senior Year
Jordyn

The baby roommate is finally 21. Four months later and now you'll have some catching up to do. But it is finally your birthday and now we get to celebrate.

Celebrate you but also celebrate senior year. We have one last year to make it count. And based on the memories that we have from sophomore and junior year I think we will make plenty more. From pushing ourselves to finish our homework so we can go to McDonald's at midnight. Or getting ice cream from Dairy Queen to make us do our work. Or those relaxing Saturday nights with some Chinese food and a movie. Or the Bachelor Monday nights.

Thanks for straightening my hair while I was stressing about my thousand lesson plans I needed to write that were due in the morning. Thanks for letting me steal your clothes and shoes. Thanks for dealing with my sassy attitude. Thanks for calming me down when I was stressed.

I am so thankful to have you as a roommate but also a friend. I can't wait to go through senior year with you and become stronger together. I love our midnight heart to hearts. Those definitely made us closer.

Thank you for pushing me to do well in my classes. Thank you for keeping me accountable for my homework. Thank you for dealing with me when I randomly start crying. Thank you for making me dinner. Thank you for forcing me to eat when I say I have no time.

I'm sorry I disappointed you by not having a Jersey accent. But I have my Wawa and I don't have to pump my own gas. And our pizza and bagels are way better than yours. I still don't know how you can eat pizza and bagels from Pennsylvania. Or the first time you had a Playa Bowl because you kept making fun of me for it.

Here's to senior year. We have one more year, well you have more because of grad school but that's irrelevant because I won't be there. So we have one more year to make this count. One more year of staying up late crying. One more year of pushing each other to do well in our classes. One more year to make more memories. One more year full of laughter. One more year full of spontaneous plans.

I can't wait to do senior year with you. Thank you for always being there for me no matter what.

Congratulations on finally joining the 21 club, just a few months late but better late than never. Good luck learning the ropes of the bars in our favorite town. Now it is time for you to play catch up, so best of luck.

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.
