Living with somebody is an interesting experience. Whether this is your first time sharing a living space with somebody or not, there are bound to be moments you did not expect to occur. These unexpected moments can be either positive or negative, but hopefully, they lean closer to the former end of the spectrum. Even when you already know that you live with a great roommate, there will be some eye-opening experiences that make you genuinely appreciate just how awesome your cohabitator truly is.

Here are 12 roles that your roommate naturally fulfills if they are exceptionally great.

1. A study buddy

Here's somebody who can help quiz you everytime you are in the same room together. (Bonus points if you are in the same class together.)

2. A barista

If your roommate offers to make you coffee, then they are exceptionally great!

3. A therapist

Your roommate is already physically there for you, but an exceptionally great roommate is mentally there for you too.

4. A maid 

The word "maid" may be a little extreme, but when you have an exceptionally great roommate they never leave the living space a mess. This is definitely appreciated!

5. A relationship coach

They listen to all of your relationship drama and then offer some pretty insightful points of wisdom to help you in the present moment and also in the future.

6. A gardener

Who else keeps your plants watered while you are away?

7. A chef

Sharing new food creations and the recipes that lead them there is one of the many perks of having an exceptionally great roommate.

8. An exercise partner

They can get you realize the importance of physical wellbeing and motivate you to go workout (since they know when you leave and when you sit in your room).

9. An editor

Need somebody to read through your paper draft? Don't have to go that far.

10. A personal motivator

You find the inspiration needed to get through some of the hardest days through discussions with your exceptionally great roomie.

11. A photographer

Need a pic of you doing something funny to Snapchat? Need a pic of you wearing your best outfit to freshen up your Insta feed? Need a pic of you for a new article cover photo? The best, non-judgmental photographer is your exceptionally great roommate always ready for your photography needs.

12. A life-long friend

The memories you are creating together will last a lifetime.

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.

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.
