An Open Letter To My Freshmen Year Roommates
Megan Adair

I live in a dorm with four other girls, there's five of us total. Throughout freshmen year, my roommates have become my best friends. From shy smiles and small talk conversations during move in, to the late night laughs and endless inside jokes we have today. I just want to say thank you to these four girls for sticking by my side the whole year. We've created unforgettable memories and I'm so happy I got to spend freshmen year with you.

Although I am not living with these same roommates next year, I know we will remain close friends. We have already discussed sleepovers in our new apartments and houses next year. We also have plans for reuniting this summer, three months is just too long without them.

Starting freshmen year and living with complete strangers was a scary thing, it takes time to get to know each other and form friendships. We've actually had two roommates move out of our dorm, we started with seven girls in our suite. It was definitely unexpected to lose two roommates but overall, it brought the five of us closer together.

These four girls are the ones I go to for everything, good or bad. If I find out I just aced a test, I text them right away. If I'm stressed about school, I go to them right away. We are always there for each other. All five of us are so incredibly different but I think that's why the friendship works.

I'm thankful for random rooming assignments that brought us together in the first place. I can't picture my freshmen year without our random adventures, our monthly Cookout runs, our unforgettable spring break, and our never-ending prank war.

To my roommates, thank you for always hyping me up, restoring my confidence, pushing me to try new things, being my fashion experts, letting me borrow your clothes, the list goes on. Thank you guys for an amazing freshmen year.

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.
