5 Benefits to Having Your Best Friend As Your Roommate
Stephanie Augello

http://quotesgram.com/quotes-not-being-honest/College is a crazy time for everyone and having your best friend by your side helps you get through those tough days and even helps you make memories on the best days. Having my best friend as my roommate has been the best thing that's happened to me since being at school. There are so many perks to having her as my roommate but here are just a few:

1. You always have two closets.

College dorms are absolutely tiny and it’s so difficult to bring everything you want to wear throughout the year and fit it in your closets. Having another closet with similar style to your own makes things much easier. Plus, it’s like you're always shopping for two when you're always asking each other what to buy because you both know the other person will end up stealing it.


2. They’re always there for emergencies.

Whether it’s forgetting to turn off your straightener or a light or just needing someone to be there for you on your bad days, your best friend is almost always in your room to help you out. Especially if you've going out and had a bad night, they're always there the next day when you wake up and need to be reminded of everything that happened and knowing she was there with you the whole time.

3. You always have someone to hang out with.

When you're bored and have nothing to do, there’s always someone to go to eat with you or even just do homework with you. Even if you have nothing to say to each other, it’s just nice to have someone you're so close with who’s around you.

4. They’ll always be honest with you.

When asking how you look right before you leave they’ll never lie to you just to make you feel better. My roommate always tells me if my hair looks bad or if my make up is too over the top. Even though sometimes I want to kill her for it, I know I should be thankful that I have someone who feels so comfortable with me to not think they're making me feel bad.

5. You pretty much do everything together.

Especially if you're involved in the same clubs, you pretty much find yourselves always together. It’s so nice to have someone you really like always around you because it keeps your spirits high and keeps someone so similar close to you.

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.
