To The Roommates Who Became My Sisters

I can't imagine my freshman year without you two

I can't even begin to fathom that my freshman year of college is over. Everything got done on time and I pulled it off without turning into a complete and utter mess. This year was full of new people, experiences, hardships, triumphs, and laughs. To be perfectly honest, I couldn't have done it without my roommates.

I don't have any siblings, so I've never had to share a living space. Going from my own room to a triple seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. But somehow, you were both patient with me and you turned something I was dreading into something I loved going home to.

Our room has turned into my favorite place on campus. I know it isn't perfect. I'm still messy, and we're three people living in a room built for two, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love how our styles blended perfectly and you can see all of our personalities shine through all of our posters and paintings (My favorite thing ever is when people come in and tell us how much they love our room).

You two have become my rock(s). You've been there for me through the craziness of the year, the highs and the lows. You've seen me at my best and my worst, and you still love me. Not to be dramatic, but when you both moved out I felt like a piece of me went with you. Being in three different states is so weird. Going to bed without you two to chat with is so strange. Waking up to an empty room is what I've done for 18 years, but somehow, it feels different now.

I'm not trying to be dramatic, but you two are the closest I have to siblings. Things weren't perfect all of the time. We had our disagreements and differences. But no matter what, I always knew we had each other's backs. I loved our spontaneous jam sessions and late night talks. Even though we won't live together next year, I fully expect to see you both often and I'll always make time to hear about your day.

What I'm really trying to say is thank you. Thank you for becoming such an integral part of my freshman year, and of my life. Thank you for helping me make big decisions (because you know I hate making decisions) and for being there for me when things didn't go according to plan. Thank you for turning our room into my comfort zone and my home away from home.

I don't know what I'm going to do when I don't get to see you two every day. Having to walk across campus to hang out is going to be an adjustment, but know that I'll always be down for movie nights, jam sessions, trips to Target, or just hanging out pretending to do work.

I don't know what the next three years have in store, but I know I can do anything with you by my side.

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.
