Dear Roommate,

Thanks for putting up with me, because let's be honest living with another human is a big pain. As we have discovered living together I am not the cleanest human being, and sometimes I wait a week to do dishes. We have very hectic schedules and we don't always have time to hang out. That doesn't mean you aren't my friend, it just means we have to make effort and plan things. Living with someone for the first time has taught me so much. It has shown me how we all have rules and boundaries and we should always respect those. I learned that cooking can be quite the chore. I learned that there is a lot of responsibility. I appreciate all of the time that you give me, so that I can hang out in my room. I appreciate that you respect my boundaries, because all I want to do is the same. I know this letter is extremely long, but know that I appreciate all that you do while we live together.

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.
