This One Goes To You

An Open Letter To My Freshman Year Roommate

Have you ever had that one roommate where you always dreaded going into your room? Yeah, me too. That was my daily reaction, my first semester of college. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a sweet girl, but we were not meant to be roommates. I know that sounds super harsh, but I honestly do not mean it like that. We are civil now, but it was honestly a good thing to separate as roommates. I’m sure she would agree.

Moving on, I asked this girl in my pledge class to room with me second semester, and I am so thankful that she said yes. This girl is my absolute best friend, and I am sorry that I wasn’t in the room as much as I should have been. I do not regret deciding to room with you, though, because it was the best semester I have had so far.

Thank you for never judging me.


You have seen me at my absolute worst and my absolute best. Thank you for never judging my lifestyle, my endless amount of junk food eating habits, and my love for One Direction and Justin Bieber. I mean seriously, you loved it when I would lock you in the room and blast the same song over and over in our room.

Thank you for dealing with my PMS 24/7.


I had FOMO. End of story.

Thank you for always hanging out with me.


Hanging out could consist of laying in our beds all day watching HGTV, watching illegal movies on my sketchy laptop (Sorry WIU SECURE), late night cuddles, or late night runs to either Wally World or McDonald's. Lets be real, we probably went to both because who doesn't love spending their money on things we don't need?! That describes us in a nutshell.

Thank you for taking me everywhere.


Seriously, you took me everywhere last year. I'll make it up to you by letting you always have access to my fries. Hope that's enough. Even if it's not, I'll find a way to make it up to you.

Thanks for being a role model.


I look up to you all the time, and I don't think you notice that. You have impacted my life in more ways than I can explain. You are such a good role model to not only me, but other sisters and the Greek community.

Overall, Thanks for being you

!

Seriously. Don't ever change. You are perfect and I will love you forever. Expect to be a bridesmaid in my wedding if I ever find a man worth my time. I don't think you realize how much I appreciate you as one of my best friends, but also as my sister.

With Love,

Kaylee

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.
