The Perks Of Living With A Redhead

Why everyone should have a redheaded roommate

The Perks Of Living With A Redhead
Camila Cordeiro

We all worry about our first college roommate when we first arrive at college. But if you're like me and got paired with a fiery redhead, you may be able to relate to the list below.

1. They’re always sarcastic.

If you're a person who speaks fluent sarcasm, a ginger roommate would definitely be a good fit for you.

2. Their hair glows in the dark.

If the power ever goes out on you, have no fear! Your roommate's hair will light the way.

3. You can practice math with their freckles.

Don't bother trying to count the freckles on her face. You'll sooner count the stars in the sky.

4. Their lack of soul

These jokes, though sometimes offensive, will never catch your redheaded friend off guard.

5. They appreciate ginger jokes.

If you tell a ginger joke that they haven't already heard a million times, you'll certainly be on their good side.

6. Easy to spot in crowds

If you ever find yourself without your roommate by your side, simply look for the slightest speck of red in the crowd. Hopefully she isn't wearing a hat.

7. They always get compared to Amy Pond.

Is that really offensive though?

8. Everyone knows them by description.

"Which one is your roommate?"
"Oh, she's tall, wears red converse, science major."
"..."
"She's a redhead."
"Oh, yeah! I know her!"

9. Temper = Fire

Like any person, redheads have a temper. Only difference is, their hair will catch fire if provoked enough. Approach with caution.

10. Their energetic personality matches their hair.

Awesome, fiery, unique, enthusiastic... am I describing her hair or her personality? Who knows?

11. You will never think of yourself as pale again.

Along with their unique shade of hair comes their very fair skin! No introverted Alaskan can compare.

12. They let you write articles about them.

Thankfully, when you can't think of an idea for an article, they give you topics about redheads that you can run with.

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.
