Roommates: From Randoms To Part Of The Fam

We might not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Roommates: From Randoms To Part Of The Fam
roomsurf

As I finish up my last month of my freshman year of college, I can not emphasize enough how much my suitemates in my freshman dorm have become my family. It's so easy to just blow off roommates and find other friends but knowing I have them makes college a thousand times better. I have those nights where I sit in bed late at night wondering how I got so lucky to get put in a suite with such amazing girls who are now some of my closest and bestest friends.

It's crazy to think how much we've been through together in the past 9 months and that in within only a few short weeks, the experiences we've had will only be memories to cherish. Through the ups and the downs, those four girls have been the air I breathe and the life I live. I am so thankful to have them and I know years down the road, we will still be best of friends and most likely will be at each others' weddings doing who knows what sort of things.

Some people have no idea how much they can have an impact on someone, but I hope they know that my life has been changed for the better because of them. From the nights out that we've stumbled through together or the days where we've spent hours on end studying for exams, we've been through it all. It truly is special to find those people in life and I can honestly say they are family to me. From planned summer visits to holidays spent together, memories will continue to be made and cherished through the years.

Like I like to put it, we may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

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.
