An Open Letter To My Roommates

The first week of school has ended and as roommates, here are my thoughts on our first few days together.

An Open Letter To My Roommates
Taylor Fogarty

The first week of classes is officially over, and that means that we have all been together for at least a week. The four of us have so far gotten along very well and I can only hope that the year will continue in the same. In our first few days together, I have had so much fun with you guys, between our movie nights and the time we have spent hanging out talking about random stuff and laughing at our weirdness.

I can already tell you that this week has been one of the best opening weeks of school that I've had since going to college. The three of you are helping me to open up more by accepting me for who I am, strange quirks and all. Before moving into our dorm this year I was very nervous, because it can be hard to have one roommate, let alone three. I was scared that all of you would get along well, and I would be the odd one out. But I am so happy that you all have opened up to me and that we can all have fun together.

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I get when I walk through the door after class and work and you all greet me. It makes my day, because in the past couple of years, I haven't had many friends and would tend to get lonely. So every day when I come home, and the four of us gather and talk and make jokes, it makes me incredibly glad that I decided to remain in the dorms.

We may have only known each other for less than two weeks, but I want you all to know that I consider you friends. For the first time in a long while, I am actually happy and excited to be at school, because for once I no longer feel incredibly lonely. And for that, I thank each one of you. So thank you to the gymnast who loves Bath and Body Works and Pink. Thank you to the incredibly sweet and kind girl who's tongue jiggles when she laughs. Thank you to the weird rooster who cracks me up with every word she speaks. The three of you have made the beginning of my junior year one of the best so far. And finally, thank's to Carl, our pink polka-doted dinosaur who watches over us all.

Here's to the memories we have already made and to the many more that we will continue to make. Have a great school year!

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.
