Roomie,

I know this is long overdue, but I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I appreciate all that you have done for me. We share more than just a room, we share memories, laughter, tears, music, and most importantly - we share this journey through college. I know this list doesn't depict how truly grateful I am to have you, but here are some things I really want to thank you for:

1. Being my support system

Some days (probably most) are harder than the others. Thank you for talking me out of my impending mental breakdowns.

2. Being my partner in crime

From scheming, plotting and planning adventures, you've always been my partner in crime. Honestly, we're a dynamic duo. Watch out world!

3. Being my favorite date

From breakfast to lunch to dinner, I can always count on you to be my date.

4. The late-night car rides

We've contemplated running away more times than I can count, but instead, we always end up driving down some unfamiliar road in the middle of the night, music blaring, singing at the top of our lungs. I don't know why people spend hundreds of dollars on therapy when a car ride with your best friend is free.

5. All the advice

School work, boys, outfits, life-altering decisions. . . you've always offered me advice. I can't thank you enough that. You don't always tell me what I want to hear, but you tell me what I need to hear.

6. Being a shoulder to cry on

You've seen me cry on more than one occasion, and every time you've been there to help me through it. You don't even need to know the context of my breakdown to know exactly how to make me feel better. Whether that be just sitting with me while I have a moment, holding my hand, giving me a hug, or telling me something funny to try and get me to laugh.

7. Being my own personal "hype man"

You give the best pep talks. You hype me up before a big exam/presentation. You boost my confidence when I need it the most. Even the simple "you can do it" helps me through most days.

8. My favorite memories

We were friends before we were roommates, so our memories go far beyond sharing a room. I can associate almost all of my favorite college memories with you, because like I said before, you are my partner in crime.

9. The endless sleepovers

Every night is a sleepover with my best friend. Can't get much better than that!

10. Being my best friend

You are more than just the girl I share a room with. You are my best friend. College is stressful, life is stressful, but at least we get to be stressed together. Thank you for putting up with me on my bad days, and thriving with me on my good days. Life is so much better with you in it, and for that I thank you!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
