Your freshman year roommate is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst. You are either best friends, colleagues, or the person you nod at when you enter a room but then remain silent. If you've seen 'New Girl', then you know the highs and lows of having a roommate, or even MULTIPLE roommates. Here are 10 ways that 'New Girl' perfectly represents you and your college roommate.

1. When you meet your roomie for the first time on the first day of school

Certainly, when I first got to school and met my roommate, there was a moment that crossed my mind where I thought that this could just go all wrong.

2. When your roommate comes back knowing she aced a test

There's nothing better than coming home after a great day, where you know you got an amazing grade, and bragging about it to your roommate.

3. When it's Tuesday and you promised yourself you'd stay in and study, but roomie says she's going out

It always seems to be the case that a calm night in is interrupted by your roommate's plans, and a case of FOMO settles in.

4. When you want to leave a party early but your roommate wants to stay

You aren't actually going to leave. The thought of your clean sheets back at your dorm room has nothing over staying out with friends. And, of course, nobody wants to walk back alone.

5. When you ask your roomie why she has to tell you EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. of her night out

Those long-winded conversations at 2 AM when your roomie comes back and has a crazy story to tell. Usually it isn't as crazy as expected, and you lose an hour of much-valued sleep.

6. When you guys trash talk the girl who was mean in lecture

You must hate everyone that your roomie hates. It's an unspoken rule. Coming home and finding out that someone was rude to your roommate automatically puts them on a hit list.

7. When roomie tells you she's going away for the weekend

There's nothing worse than getting used to saying goodnight to your roomie every night, having those late night chats, and then suddenly having her not be there. It sucks, and the room feels too quiet. Something you never think you would say.

8. Realistically, what a typical Saturday night looks like

In reality, college life is not about partying all the time. On a good day, a Saturday night consists of you and your roommate doing work, laundry or painting each other's nails.

9. When you spill something on your roomie's shirt and she's pissed.

There's always the dreaded conversation.

10. The last day of classes, when you finally have to say goodbye

but, also...

Just like 'New Girl' clearly shows on its hilarious sitcom, living with a roommate is both a blessing and a curse. It's definitely a different experience, but one that I wouldn't trade for the world. Having a roommate drive you crazy but yet also be the best part of coming home after a long day of classes is just how it works.

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.
