Most people think having a roommate is one of the greatest experiences alive, but to me, it was probably the worst experience of my life. No hate to either one of my old roomies but it just didn't work out, it was like a terrible break-up and you were stuck in the same room with someone you absolutely hated. My anxiety would flare up twenty-four-seven whenever I was in my room which, isn't fair you should be comfortable in your own room. If you need some convincing as to why you should live alone just continue reading.

1. You never have you use headphones.

If you want to watch a movie before bed, listen to music while doing homework, or even just binge watch a Netflix show, you never have to use headphones. No more annoying little earbuds in your ears, just a speaker, a screen, and you all comfy and cozy no matter where you sit or lay!

2. More space for your things.

Not having a roomie in a dorm means, double the space. No half room bull crap that most people have to deal with.

3. You get a king-sized bed.

Yes, if you push two twin beds together you get a king, #themoreyouknow.

4. You don't have to clean all the time.

Sure, you might be a neat freak or you might be a slob but without a roomie, it doesn't matter you can have your room however you want it!

5. You can do whatever color scheme you want.

That's right, no color coordinating to make sure things don't clash!

6. You can have whomever you want in your room whenever you want.

Boyfriends, Best Friends, Hook-Ups... the number of people are endless!

7. You never have to worry about being judged.

That's right, no judgment, it's your own room now! Talk to your best friends about embarrassing secrets without the fear of it being spread around to others.

8. No drama.

Probably the best thing about living alone, you don't have to deal with drama in your room. It's a stress-free life!

9. It feels more like home and less jail cell-ish.

Your own room, just like home.

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.
