An Open Letter To My Upstairs Neighbor

It's 1pm on a Tuesday STFU

An Open Letter To My Upstairs Neighbor

To My Upstairs Neighbors,

I am currently sitting in my room trying to do work while listening to you make a ton of noise upstairs. This is not the first time that this has happened.

Often I think, it is 1pm on a Tuesday... WHY ARE YOU BLASTING MUSIC??? Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night and day I get it. You're partying with your friends for the weekend; while you are still being way too loud, I won't get mad. However, on weekdays when you act like your room is a fraternity and I am innocently trying to take nap, well, I care.

Secondly, ARE YOU THROWING FURNITURE? Seriously, it sounds like you just knocked over your table. Why? How? Do boys throw furniture at each other for fun, or should I be concerned and come up to check on you? Is everyone alive? These loud noises lead to so, so many questions.

You have sex like rabbits. And I, unfortunately, hear your bed going back and forth. I am not really mad at you for this, it's just annoying. Maybe go to her room sometimes and switch it up... for my sake anyways.

Okay, but you're not so bad. I can hear you open and close doors and talk, and truthfully, those are not things I can mad about. Furthermore, if I were you, I would not assume the ceiling/floors were thick enough for me to hear those things. In fact, the thinness is kind of scary. Is it safe? When I have gone upstairs to say something, you do apologize and say you will keep it down. I still hear you, but hey, I appreciate the effort-- that's just part of the college experience.

Keep doing you, and I will probably keep coming to tell you to keep it down.

Sincerely,

The Person Who Lives Below 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.
