An Open Letter to My College Roommates

Because I will always cherish those pillow forts and Friday night pancakes with my favorite people

An Open Letter to My College Roommates
Leslie Stratton

Dear College Roommates,

You know you miss me! And I miss you too. Though I often struggle with responding to messages, phone calls, or letters, know I think and talk about you all the time. My friends now all make fun of me for talking about you so much. I am never sorry and I promise I will always continue to do it.

Remember those nights on the weekends where we would all stay in and hang out together while everyone else went out? Me too. Those were some of my best memories from college. I remember when we made that fort, putting together all of the sheets in our townhouse. Then, we made pancakes and ate those bad boys in the fort. Talk about the dream team. We took pictures. It was high quality.

Though I have not seen you all for quite some time now, I cherish the times we talk more than I can say. No one understands me like you do. You have seen me through the lack of sleep due to my exams and papers, and frustrations due to sports. You have seen me at the highest highs and the lowest lows. And I appreciate those small acts of encouragement from the cookies you baked to the smiles in the morning. They mean a lot. I also am thankful for the dumb decisions we made. Oh gosh, they were dumb. But you better believe they were funny.

When we lived together, I appreciated it but I think I appreciate it even more now. It made me who I am today. I have heard you become most like the people you hang out with the most. And I am beyond thankful to have become more and more like you.

Stay Classy Townhouse 301,

Your 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.
