An Open Letter To My Roommate Who Became My Best Friend

No one I'd rather spend my college years living with!

An Open Letter To My Roommate Who Became My Best Friend
Mikayla Coyne

Hey Roomie,

After spending our first year of college together, I realized that you really must be some kind of saint for putting up with me. You've seen it all; my best and worst moments, and I've seen all of yours. This year definitely had its ups and downs, but I'm so glad I got to experience it living with you.

Getting the email from you saying you were my roommate sent thousands of different thoughts through my head. I had no idea who you were, and it's hard to believe we met only a few months ago. After creeping through your social media for about two hours, I realized how much we had in common. Once we started texting and actually getting to know each other, I couldn't wait to finally move in and get to know you.

After we moved in and talked for hours, I never knew how I didn't know you before. We clicked from the start and started doing literally everything together. You're just as Starbucks and cupcake obsessed as I am, which is just about all I could ask for in a roommate. You're always the first one to tell me when I'm being unreasonable or to back me up even when we both know I'm wrong.

Thank you for putting up with my annoying rants and for hating the same people I hate. Thanks for always telling me which outfits look good and bad, and for supporting my shopping addiction. You have my back through it all and it's nice to know I always have someone to lean on.

You've seen some of the worst sides of me. From waking up in the morning to the struggle of going to the gym. You were never one to judge, which made it that much easier to be 100% my crazy self around you. We lay up in bed for hours just talking about whatever comes to mind until, eventually, I end up talking to myself because you always fall asleep on me.

We spent almost every second together unless we were in class or attempting to get homework done. I knew your schedule and you knew mine, and as soon as class was over we knew exactly what we wanted to go and do. Which was most likely go to target or get something to eat. Most of the time I'm not sure how we have exactly the same mind, mood and everything in between.

I'm so excited to move back in so we can get back to our Food Network binges, fro-yo runs and stalking random people on Instagram. You will forever be my favorite roommate, and one of my best friends for life!

xoxo,

Your Roommate for life

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.
