A "See You Later" To My Old Roommate

Feel free to sleep over every night.

A "See You Later" To My Old Roommate
Facebook

So, I'm not really sure if this is an "I miss you" letter, a "thank you" letter, or a "please stay forever" letter. Honestly, it's a combination of all of the above. I just can't believe that our time as roommates has come to an end. I feel like just yesterday we were meeting for the first time at the beginning of our Freshman year. Now, we're getting closer and closer to our final year in college and it's so sad to not be together under the same roof.

When you live with someone, you truly get to know all of the parts of them, whether it's the good, the bad, or the ugly. I'm so lucky to have had the chance to get to know you. When you see someone every second of every day, you start to take advantage of the opportunity, and you forget just how lucky you are. As my roommate, you were required to get to know all of me. From listening to every single complaint I had, to knowing that the twist top Gatorades are my favorite, you really put up with a lot. Thank you for loving every completely awful part of me and thank you for being my biggest cheerleader.

I know you're just right down the street now and it might seem like I'm overreacting, but it's weird not having you in every single moment of my life. You have such a presence in every situation that you're in. I know it might not seem like a big deal to most people, but I'm still getting used to not having you light up every room of our apartment.

Friends like you don't come around that often. I'm so grateful to have you by my side, even if I can't walk across the hall and jump into your bed anymore. For now, I'm just counting down the days until we are under the same roof once again.

P.S. So when are you coming over for a sleepover?

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.
