Living With a Best Friend...Was that Such a Good Idea?

Here's What Happened: My roommate that I so dearly loved rooming with during fall 2014, decided to leave me! FOR STUDY ABROAD! So, my first thought was to invite someone into my room before I got assigned a random person. I turned to none other than one of my best friends at school. AND guess what, she is still one of my best friends! You could say that we both had our happily ever after in room 416 together! Some people say it isn't a good idea to live with your bestfriend, but, I say nay! Here are some reasons why living with a best friend last year was AMAZING.

1. She has great taste!

When she moved in, she brought along all of her adorable decor! Being best friends, we have similar interests and style! The following is a list of things we both love and had in our room: The colors mint green, pink, and blue, Disney princesses, mermaids, Tri Delta crafts, and much much more!

2. She was my cafateria buddy!

I don't know about you, but being in the cafeteria alone is scary sometimes. When I am alone in a big, busy cafateria so many thoughts run through my head. Where do I sit? Who can I find to sit with? Plus waiting in line for food is so much better when you have company. With my best friend as my roommae, I always had a breakfast, lunch, and dinner buddy whenever I needed one!

3. Best friends always have each others backs!

If I needed to borrow something I needed and couldn't find- she had it. We knew we could depend on each other for anything, whether it be borrowing a pen or a tampon. It wasn't weird or awkward as it sometimes can be with someone you don't know on a personal level. If ever something was going on in my life or in hers, we went through it together and were there for each other at literally ANY second of the day or night.

4. Guests!

Having a guest was never awkward- it was actually FUN! With someone you don't know as your roommate, comes with them inviting people over that you also don't know. When you find out that someone who is a total stranger to you is sleeping over in your room next week- the reaction usually isn't to smile and jump for joy... With my best friend as my roommate I was prepared and excited to meet her visiting friends because her friends, were my friends!

5. Problems?! What Problems?!

If there was ever an issue or arguement it didn't last very long. We both resolved our issues quickly because we knew that whatever fight was happening, wasn't going to be worth ruining a best friendship over. After all, best friends are forever.

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.
