"Why are we showering?"

Overheard And Written On My Roommates' Quote Wall

On a daily basis, people say a load of ridiculous phrases. Things you overhear without context, things that stick with you that for some reason you don't forget.

One of my roommates recently overheard one college girl say to another, "Why are we showering?" out of context. My roommate has no idea what the girls were talking about for the one to pose her question.

To capture moments like these, my roommates and I created a "Quote Wall" for our room, on a giant slab of a chalkboard sign. There, we record the entertaining phrases we say to each other and sayings we've overheard from others. We've nearly filled it up in under four months.

Reading through the quotes written on there always puts smiles on our faces and laughter bellowing in our guts. As a piece of comical entertainment, I thought I'd share some of the highlights.

"I feel like vodka is just angry water." — Roommate #1

"I don't think it's the alcohol that makes you drunk, I think it's the mixer." — My mom

"My chemistry homework is kicking my butt. Also my roomie said she'd be reading but I hear snoring coming from her room." — Roommate #2 (when asked, "How's it going?")

"After I graduate, I'll pop my head out into the world and if it snipes me, I'll retreat into grad school." — Random guy

"Thor is like a frat bro. He just keeps drinking and smashing stuff." — Random girl in my history class

"Did I put the Febreze in the fridge?" — My friend

"After my Thursday classes, I'm going to take a fat nap, and then I'll wake up just in time for alcohol." — me

"Among the words given, find the intruder." — Roommate #2 (translating French)

"You might wanna start fixing your bra now." — My friend

"I think Jesus is gay because he has really good lighting in his pictures." — Roommate #2

"That's not fair! We had Peach on our team, that's like having a handicap." — My sister (while playing Mario Party)

"Did you say something? Sorry, I was in the midst of taking off my shirt." — Roommate #2

"Just put it in your mouth and suck it off." — Roommate #2's lemon eating tutorial

"You're jerking it off too fast!" — Roommate #2's mom (on how to drive stick shift)

"Pants are just skirts for both legs." — Roommate #1

"The only things I can do with hair are crappy ponytails, crappy braids, and crappily brushing it." — Me

"We'll start fingering through it soon." — Roommate #2's mom (on packing clothes)

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.
