So God Made Roommates

And on the first day of freshman year God looked down and said, "I need girls who will be there for each other no matter what, put up with each other through the good and the bad, and make each other laugh on the daily."

So God Made Roommates

He said "I need girls willing to share their hair tips, makeup brushes, and favorite fast food restaurants. I need girls who will watch Netflix together until 3 a.m and who don't mind staying in on Fridays just to giggle and enjoy each others company. I need girls who will make a lifetime of memories while fitting as many half-drank Sonic cups they can in the mini fridge and covering their walls in pictures together."

Roommate picking is possibly one of the most nerve-wracking experience you go through in your college endeavors, but also the most exciting. You have the opportunity to meet your future best friends, sorority sisters, and possible bridesmaids. Living together for an entire year doesn't just make you roommates, but also a family. At least in my case it did.

I experienced how amazing roommates can be first hand this year. I went through a process much like a term known as "pot lucking." I met my roommates on a website much similar to online dating, thank goodness these relationships turned out better than most on match.com. Not a day goes by that I regret my decision to room with girls I had never met before, because I have truly met my best friends, and I could not imagine my college life without them.

I can't thank my roommates enough for excepting my need for mid-day naps and late night snacks, my love for random room rearrangements, and for laughing at all of my ridiculous jokes. I would be nowhere in life without their constant support and uplifting spirits. I came into college never having met them, and I will leave never being able to forget them.

Thank your roomies for keeping me strong when I want to give up, and for giving me hope when I think I will fail. Thank you for the late night Target runs and listening to me vent about the smallest things. Thank you for the morning wake ups when you know I shouldn't skip class again and the "i miss you" texts only twenty minutes after I leave the room. Thank you for all you've done and what I know you will continue to do, I can't thank God enough for making roommates...

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.
