Why Ron Swanson Would Be An Excellent Roommate
hercampus.com

It's a well-known fact that Ron Swanson is simply incredible. But aside from being possibly the greatest character to ever grace our TV screens, Ronald Ulysses Swanson would also be the greatest roommate on the planet, and here's why.

He has fabulous decor.

Who needs string lights or Sports Illustrated posters when you have this?


Don’t want to go out? Neither does he.

Is there anyone more antisocial than Ron Swanson?


He’s easy to understand.

Gone are the days of passive-aggressive roommates and house drama.

He’s quiet.

Too busy studying to be bothered by whining, drawn out stories of drunken nights, or a rant about a guy who honestly did nothing wrong? LeRon James is the roommate for you.


He’s musically gifted.

Sick of listening to your tone-deaf roommates butcher Beyoncé and The Weeknd in the shower? That will never be a problem if you live with Duke Silver Ron Swanson.

*Note: You might find it worthwhile to become a fan of smooth jazz and Willie Nelson*


He keeps it real.

If you're thinking it, he's probably saying it. You need someone like this in your life.


He's not at all judgmental.

There's nothing worse than people telling you how to live your life, and ~*Rondoleeza Rice*~ gets that. If you want to drink rum and Red Bull at 4:00 on a Wednesday afternoon, he's not one to stand in your way.


He’s an emotional vault.

Is there anything more awkward than being in the room while your roommate is crying on the phone? Not a problem anymore. Ron Swanson is one to keep his emotions in check.


Safety is his #1 concern.

You'll never have to worry about intruders with Ron as your roommate. Consider your dorm as safe as Rontonamo Bay.


He’s crafty.

DIY Fridays are a go.


Want a house pet? Okay.

He has stellar taste in animals.


His confidence.

Ron Swanson exudes confidence. Talk about a positive influence.


His wisdom.

Ron’s immeasurable wisdom might just be his best quality (aside from his mustache, duh.) Whether you’re going through a breakup, missing home, or finding it hard to stay on track, Ron will always have sage advice for you. Follow it, and one day, you may just be lucky enough to be half as cool as he is. Cross your fingers.

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.
