Roommate Talks

If you share your confined habitat, you know these common phrases all too well.

Roommate Talks

From petty arguments to late night Taco Bell runs, sharing a living space has its ups and downs. When you are expected to share a Polly Pocket sized box, this is a given. However, the memories made within the walls of that box are what makes the ultimate college experience. As roommates, some phrases are copiously repeated. If you're a roomie, you can relate.

1. "I took the trash out last time."

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I did, but who's keeping score?


2. "Make your bed. My family is coming."

My mom can't know that we live like this. You sweep and I'll scrub the toilet, okay? Ready BREAK.


3. "Don't forget to lock the door when you leave."

I'm begging you. If the door is unlocked and my laptop isn't in our room when I come back, I'm blaming you.


4. "We ordered pizza yesterday though."

I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over. Without a pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you. Love knows no boundaries.


5. "Is that my shirt?"

Oh cool. It looks better on you anyway.


6. "We need to start going to the gym tomorrow."

Tomorrow. Not the next day. Not next month. Not the next year. Go ahead and eat that doughnut because tomorrow starts our revolution. (We all know this is the most common lie ever told)


7. "When is your last class again?"

Meet me right after. We have to make it to the Commons before the chicken minis run out.


8. "It is 3 a.m. Turn the lamp off."

I do my best work in the early hours of the morning. And by "my best work" I mean my best procrastination... Please be gentle.


9. "Make sure you set your alarms."

Set one earlier so we can scroll through Twitter, another ten minutes after to eat a granola bar, another ten minutes after that to start getting ready... What? We have twelve alarms set?


10. "Can I borrow that?"

My shoes? My blow dryer? That Q-tip? My great aunt? My social security? Yeah, sure.


11. "Should I post this?"

I'm not sure if people will understand what I'm going for in this. How do I even caption this? This filter is too saturated don't you think?


12. "Seriously. It's getting late."

Class starts in thirty minutes. We will be fine. Thirty? Wait no, ten. It starts in ten.


13. "Turn on some music."

It just dawned on me that we have been sitting in silence for this long.


14. "Shh! Mom is calling."

*yells early 2000's rap lyrics obnoxiously in the back ground*


15. "Can I have a bite of that?"

PLEASE. I haven't had a cosmic brownie since 5th grade.


16. "Don't tell that though."

Everything that was just said stays in this room. I know you won't, but just reiterating the importance of this staying completely classified.

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.
