To The Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing
Nicole Gambino

In life, there are very few people that you can point out and say, "those were the people who changed my life, they made a difference." When going into college and starting a new chapter in your life, your filled with a bunch of new things. New environment, new home, and most importantly, new roommates. If you're as lucky as I got to be, those random roommates that you get assigned might just end up to be your best friends. Or better yet the ones who changed your life and made a difference.


To my wonderful roommates,

Life has passed us by quicker then we expected. 9 months ago we were placed in a jail cell looking dorm and were complete strangers. Not knowing anything about each other besides our names and which part of the state we lived in. Once it stopped being a little awkward in the beginning and we got to know each other on a more personal/comfortable level, such a good bond was already forming. I like to think I got pretty lucky when it came to the four of you.

Our jail cell looking dorm started to feel somewhat like home, but better yet, the four of you started to feel like home. As the past 9 months flew by, I can’t help but think how appreciative I am for you. Starting with the endless amounts of laughter and happiness you've brought into my life everyday, and being there when I needed a shoulder to cry on during some of my worst days. Having at least one person around to always vent to, hangout with, and always be there for you is one of the best parts about having a close bond.

Ultimately, you showed me what true friendship is and what it looks like. As roommates, we see the good, the bad and the ugly, but no matter what you always supported me in everything (even when it was bad decisions) and continuously had my back. I couldn't have asked for much more.

It's funny to think we've spent our whole lives without each other and never realized something was missing, until we met. I officially can't imagine a life without you guys and being apart is going to be a lot harder than I thought. I will miss the tiny details about all of you and the memories we made as a whole will always stick with me.

My heart will be with the four of you no matter how far apart we may go in life.

With all my love,

Your annoying 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
