Congratulations roomies, you've finally made it!

To My Roommates On Their Graduation Day
Kathryn Lundy

Dear Graduates,

Today is the day that you graduate. After four years, you’re finally done with undergrad. You’ll walk across the stage and receive a diploma that you worked your butt off for. You’ve learned so much over these past four years. Now it’s time for your next stage of life; The Real World.

We’ve had our ups and downs this year. We’ve all had that mental breakdown which results in us lying on the kitchen floor crying. We learned that I get stressed and take it out on you both. We had so many amazing nights and beautiful hikes. We raised two animals together, which truly was a handful. We ate a lot of buffalo chicken dip. Drank a lot of wine.

So today, on your graduation day, I want to give you a few words of wisdom:

You both are more beautiful than you think. You have beauty inside and out and don’t forget about that.

You are strong independent women, that don’t need no man! You can fight your own fights and stand up for yourself because you all are strong.

You are kind, caring and compassionate. You love everyone and would do anything for anyone.

When you find that amazing husband, make sure he treats you well. Because you deserve the world.

Have fun every day and don’t worry about a thing. Everything is meant to be and, eventually, it will find its way.

I’ve learned so much from you girls these past nine months. You have taught me to be free and to love myself. You’ve given me so many compliment’s and advice this semester. I can’t thank you enough for that. You have taught me that, although, you may not like me at this moment, you’ll always love me. Mostly, you have taught me to laugh and have fun, even if I don’t want to. I thank you for all that you’ve taught me and done for me this semester. You both will always have a special place in my heart.

Cheers to our Greys nights, snow shoveling parties, Tofu dinners, dance parties and a great year.

Thank you guys so much for everything that you’ve done for me.

Love,

Me


PS: Thank you for your stuff you didn't want to move back home! It'll go great in my dorm next semester.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
