Letter To My Roommate

For all the memories, past, present, and future: thank you.

Letter To My Roommate
Mary Beth Hickman

Roommate,

There's so much to say, so many jokes, so many memories. All of them I treasure, and they are some of the best of my college experience so far. Sometimes you're grumpy, sometimes you're annoyed or you pout for no reason, but even better, you're silly, expressive, loving, loyal and downright hilarious. I can't think of one day where we haven't laughed together. Sometimes we laugh so hard that "literally we are about to pee ourselves", no but for real…

Here are a couple of "thank you's" I owe you for being the best roommate, and the best best friend:

Thank you for always being down to go to Dairy Queen to get an orange julius and an M&M blizzard, Waffle House breakfast or chicken nuggets. Food pretty much has ruined us, but it's so worth it.

For all the times you've gotten mad, and woken me up when I undoubtably fall asleep when watching our favorite TV series or any kind of Redbox movie.

For letting me use your Wet Brush in exchange for you using my dry shampoo… Gotta help a sister out, ya know.

For giving me fashion advice, even when I don't take it, (excluding trashcan Tuesdays, and hobo Thursdays), and borrowing your clothes.

For all of our 8,262,039 jam sessions in the room, car, or around campus, or Snapchat videos. There's not a time where we aren't singing some type of song that we just love.

For all of our weird quirks, voices and habits…you know exactly what I mean.

For driving me home when I'm just too tired to function, you know how I am when I get sleepy...

"America's Next Top Model." That's all.

For all the times, where we simultaneously look over at each other and start singing "I Don't Wanna Be" because our "One Tree Hill" obsession is all too real.

Mega bed snuggles + Nutella and pretzels.

There are so many more memories, so many funny and hilarious ones, but heres a few more real "thank you's":

For telling me like it is, even when I don't want to listen, and then later letting me know you were right. Yes, I knew you were right the whole time.

For having my back when everyone else comes up short, you never let me down, and you're always there to pick me back up.

For constantly making me laugh. (We will live forever with how much we laugh.)

For letting me cry when I'm pissed off, sad or stressed.

For being the one person who is straight up with me, when I need some hard truth, but also for being the listener I need.

For all the times where we can just look at each other and know exactly what the other is thinking, or what to do next.

For being my listener, counselor, best friend, person, and roommate.

There's no one like you roommate, and there are so many more memories to be made. I love you.

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.
