Why You Should Always Live With Your Best Friends

If the opportunity comes up, do not let it go.

Why You Should Always Live With Your Best Friends
Madalyn Norton

Living with your best friends is an amazing opportunity. One that you will probably not get the chance to do again so take advantage of it while you can.

I live in a house in Lexington that is right off of campus. It's kind of reminds me of the dogs that everyone refers to as "ugly cute". When you first see it, it is hideous, but if you squint your eyes until they are closed it is kind of cute, in a way.

While my house may not be the best on the outside, it is the inside of the house that makes it so special. And by the inside I am not referring to the interior architecture, that's not any better from the outside, I am talking about the amazing girls that live in my house.

I live with seven of the most amazing girls I have ever met and I am not sure how I could do college without them.

Their names are Molly, Jane, Carly, Maddie, Heather, Hannah, and Taylor.

They allow my life to constantly be filled with energy, crazy stories and lots and lots of laughter. While we all get along well, the one thing that makes our friendship work so well is how different we all are.

Molly is a broadcast journalism major and she is the stylist of the house, she has her own fashion blog, wants to be a sports broadcaster one day. She loves to take photos and videos and is our social media queen.

Janie is the hard-worker. I have never met someone who can do so many things in one day. From working two jobs to studying at the library she is constantly on the go and makes it look easy.

Carly is the laid back one of the house. Coming from someone who is always uptight and stressing, I envy her. She seems to always be able to find a way to make things seem okay.

Maddie is the confident one. It does not matter what life throws at her she always comes out on top and is rarely flustered by the issues she faces.

Heather is the carefree one. If I could trade traits with anyone in the house I think it would be her. I am the anxious one in the house and Heather is always level headed and optimistic.

Hannah is the spontaneous one. She is always down for an adventure, whether it is to another state or just to see if the ice cream machine at McDonald's is working you can always count her in to join you.

And lastly there's Taylor, or T, she is the mature one of the house. The one who has her life together. Somehow she is able to balance academics and a social life flawlessly.

Living with your best friends has its own problems but they are nothing when compared to the fact that the person asleep in the bed next to yours will be there for you no matter what.

Having so many different personalities in a house could cause chaos but for us, it is a perfect mix.

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.
