Why Living With Your Best Friends Might Ruin You Life (And Make It Better)

It's like a never-ending sleepover.

Why Living With Your Best Friends Might Ruin You Life (And Make It Better)
Victoria Terrazas

Roommates are tricky. It's hard to find ones who you can live with and like the majority of the time. When you live with someone you learn every weird habit they have. After living with me for a year my roommates found out that I listen to the same song over and over again until I hate it and that I have a habit of forgetting my keys when I leave the house. Finding roommates that you love living with is hard but when you find roommates that double as built-in best friends, it's the best thing and the worst thing in the world.

Living with your best friends spoils you and I don't recommend it. You have three times the outfit choices, someone is always willing to help you curl your hair or do your makeup. If you fall asleep on the couch, you'll probably end up with a blanket on you when you wake up, and a Snapchat of you sleeping in a really awkward position with your mouth probably wide open. You can walk around without pants constantly with no judgment, someone will always hold your hair back after a long night and will leave water on your nightstand. There will always be a friend to laugh about the dumb things you did last night, to take your phone away when you're being crazy or to overanalyze a cute boys text with. Someone will tell you when you need to brush your hair, or put on an extra spritz of perfume, if you can't pull off the leather pants you thought were a good idea, you will be told to change. There will be three times the wine to drink, three times the leftovers to share, you have three times the bigs and three times the littles and someone will always have an extra tampon or an extra charger.

Living with your best friends will ensure that you won't ever get anything done again. You always have someone to watch Bob's Burgers with or listen to you complain about boys, or to go out with even if it's a Tuesday. There is always a reason to celebrate, to have a dance party and to eat pizza. If you wanna get fro-yo, someone will want to go with you, if you need an excuse as to why you shouldn't do your homework one of your roommates can make one up for you. Want to go to the pool? Someone is down. Target run? One of your roommates would love to. Wanna watch every single episode of "Sex and The City" in one sitting? Your live-in distractions would love to.

I miss living with you guys already, even you, Bruce, the trapped dog. This year will forever live in epic memory and epic stories. Thanks for having my back, even making scrubbing the floors fun and throwing the best pregames the world has ever witnessed.

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.
