What It's Like To Have Your Best Friend As A Roommate

So people say you find your life long friends in college. I was lucky enough to find a girl I can call my best friend. And even better someone, who was willing to live with me. Willing to deal with all of my crap. From singing out loud at any time of the day to asking her if she wants to order Dominos at 1:30 a.m. on a Wednesday night.

It's not like she doesn't know what to expect from me, being that's she knows my every move before I make them, but it's still shocking that she is willing to deal with me 24/7 for the next two semesters in the same room (which is more like being in 6 by 6 box). My mom doesn't even want to be around me that much.

Having her be my roommate is probably one of the greatest things that could happen to me. I can now roll over and ask if she wants to get food instead of texting her or walking down four flights of stairs. I can borrow her clothes whenever I want to...(kidding). I have someone I can vent to at any moment of any day (even when she really doesn't wanna know about it). And I can have a sleep over every night.

The best part of rooming with your best friend is that I will always have someone who loves me to come "home" to, which is quite great actually. I get to see my best friend everyday and every night. And even when she get tired of me, annoyed by me or all of the above, I know she still loves me.

So this girl is my forever friend. My best friend. And if I could change meeting her, I wouldn't. She will forever be my person. And I look forward to living with her in our little box. I'm excited for the adventure, deep heart-to-heart conversations, late-night eating and everything in between.

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.
