Sorry To The Roommates Of The Girl Who's A Mess

We are all moved in, woo! It's time; it is finally here for us to all finally live together. We may have had a few bumps in the road, and got some welcomed surprises, but here we are, together! Now that it is all out in the open, there are some things you should know and just learn to accept now. And I might as well go ahead and say it, I really am very sorry.

I am a mess. I have always been a mess: my room, my closet, my car, my life. About once every couple of weeks, my room will become this magical land of the clean and you will be able to see my floor like it once was. Fair warning, this will last approximately three days, and it will then once again return to the monstrosity I have learned to live in. I will keep the bedroom door closed, I promise. I may ask you to go in there from time to time to find something I most likely forgot, and if this happens, I'm sorry, but you will make it out alive. It will always smell like soothing incense though so don't worry about that part (I do this to contrast the appearance). Just tread lightly and know the floor beneath it is clean, it's just a little buried.

The kitchen may be an issue. I tend to just shove my used dishes in the sink under hot water and soap and leave it, probably because I'm running late to the class I should have left for 10 minutes ago. You'll know which dishes are mine, they're most likely the mass amounts of coffee mugs because let's face it, I really just don't sleep. I'll do the dishes, I promise, just give me time and maybe a couple of reminders. Same with laundry; if my load is in your way please just yell at me to move it. I don't mean to, it just happens.

I hardly sleep so if you ever need anything at any weird hour, I'm your girl. I will be as quiet as I can in the creepy hours of the morning. I like to sing, loudly and not all that great, so if the music is too much just ask for me to tone it down. I do have headphones, it is just sometimes out loud seems more satisfying. I procrastinate like it is my job for a living so any time you stress about cramming for a test just know I am 88% of the time awake and will gladly cry with you.

I forget things a lot and say things I will do later and later never comes. I am really loud and truly I don't mean to be, it is just the way I am. You will probably see the same shirt three times a week, every week, and it will continue to be the same shirt for the rest of the year. If I'm on day three of no sleep just know to avoid me at all costs, and that mental breakdowns are just around the corner. I'll leave my stuff all over the living room (probably because I'm running late), and I will whine about things that I'm the cause of. Regardless of it all, of all my mess, I will do everything I can for you. I will leave class early because you're locked out and I know you have a test in an hour. I will go to Taco Bell with you at 2 a.m. and cry about going to Taco Bell with you also. I'll make dinner when we are all too broke to get our own food, and I'll buy us pizzas when finals have done us dirty. I'll braid your hair when you're still asleep and can't function, and I'll help you pick out your outfit for the date with that cute boy in your chem class.

I'll make you laugh when you need it and I'll lecture you when even you know you need it. College is hard and life is even harder. I'm a mess and a handful, but I come with some pretty great perks, too. Here's to the next 365 days, may we all survive together or take each other down trying.

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.
