Hi girlie!

First of all, I wanted to say that I was really wrong about you. When I first found your Instagram I was really nervous because you were so pretty AND a gymnast?? Full disclosure I assumed you would not be very nice. But wow was I wrong!! You are one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met! Throughout the year, you have been so kind and I am really glad we were put together.

Throughout the year, I have grown progressively more comfortable relaying all my problems and stories to you. I’m sure there are some days where you are definitely not interested in how slow the person was walking in front of me or the annoying person who wouldn’t stop giving their opinion in class. However, I appreciate it. A lot. It is really nice to be able to vent to an unbiased person and to someone who is on my side. I know that we both have our share of stories so it’s cool to be able to catch up with you each day on the wild or boring days we had.

In addition, I also feel so blessed that we have similar interests and personalities. The amount of times we talk about Jenna Marbles videos and New Girl and our similar levels of introvertedness is incredible. It is so fun to be able to sit and watch YouTube for hours with a roommate who won’t judge me because we are doing the same thing. Plus, we can get excited about milestones AND introduce each other to cool channels! I love texting you about all the gossip and my weird dreams about YouTubers and you don't think it's weird.

Also, I really appreciate you taking care of my plants for me. I am honestly the worst plant mother ever, and you have really helped me keep my plants alive. If it weren’t for you, not only would I not buy plants but they also would not be living. I cannot WAIT to grow the family next year!

Lastly, I want to say how excited I am that you wanted to room with me again next year. There have been a good amount of people that are not interested in rooming with their same roommate again, so for us to be lucky enough to not only want to room together, but also already be excited about designing the room and deciding what will be on our windowsill makes me feel so much more excited to come back to school.

Thank you for being one of my few close friends here at college. I had a hard time deciding to come to college in the first place because I was afraid that I would be really bad at making friends. You made it so easy. I really really appreciate it, and I am so excited to come back and hang out with you next year!!

Your current roommate and froomie,

Molly <33

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.
