Solo Explorer

Chapter III of my college story

For this upcoming year, I will be living on my own. No Roommate. Just me in a single room. To experience what it is like to be on my own. To fight my own self battles with no crutch. No longer having to write to my best friend not to come back to the room. But a part of me is going to miss sharing a room with somebody. Sure, I could request to have a roommate…but after what I put my best friend through for two years…I don’t want to go through that process again. But there is something I am going to miss living with my (well now) best friend.

I am going to miss having some one to vent to when I feel frustrated about something. To be honest it happens a lot, I mean we both rant about a lot of stuff which I guess is good..i think.

I am going to miss having someone who will always be there for me, even if I won’t be there for myself. My best friend was my support when I was having my anxiety attacks. Sure, he may have felt helpless as he could not do anything but sit across from me while I cry my eyes out. But, he was there for me. He did what most people won’t do, letting me know that they are still there and waiting for me to come back to reality.

I am going to miss the chances to play practical jokes or make fun of him. He does not really care about it, and sometimes it actually makes his day, which in return makes mine. I do not do it to hurt him. In fact, none of my pranks involved him getting hurt, just something happening or hiding one of his things. Or making an entire twitter account tweeting about what he says.

But mostly, the number one thing I am going to miss about not having a roommate is that I will no longer be waking up right next to my best friend. My major mystery the first few weeks of us first living together. All the adventures and misadventures we had together in our two years in school. We had our ups and downs. We brought each other back up when we felt at our worst. We were each other’s support, I am sad that I wont get to experience that as much anymore.

Even though there is another part of me that thinking that this may not be the last time we would be hanging out in a dorm room… I mean there has to be a reason why I keep looking up inflatable couches on amazon ¬___¬.

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.
