Thank You To My College Roommate
Ashley Faulkner

Hey roomie,

It has been a pretty great year and a large part of that is because I have had you as a roommate. Having you on the other side of the room is always comforting and a great distraction from studying. When we moved in together, I said that all I needed in a roommate was someone to eat with me and tell me I am pretty. I want to take this time to say thank you for all the things you do even beyond that.

Thank you for keeping the light on until I get home at night.

Thank you for letting the temperature stay below 70 degrees.

Thank you for coordinating our schedules so that we could try to eat meals together, even though we always have class at different times.

Thank you for always walking to the parking deck with me to get my car.

Thanks for not being annoyed when my laundry basket overflows onto the floor.

Thank you for watching "The Descendants" with me over and over and over again.

Thank you for our roommate time where we don’t talk but just sit in the room together doing our own thing.

Thank you for walking to Co-op with me late at night when I needed a snack.

Thank you for not throwing a pillow at me when I talk to you early in the mornings.

Thank you for the pep talks half way through the semester when I think there is no hope left.

Thank you for always going out with me and sticking by my side.

Thank you for keeping our Snapchat streak when we are not together.

Thank you for wishing me good luck before every test I have.

Thanks for letting me go on tangents and listening to it all.

Thank you for caring about the things that matter so much to me.

Thank you for discussing "Shadow Hunters" in depth with me.

Thanks for choosing to study with me even if it is less productive.

Thank you for letting me borrow your makeup and hair accessories.

Thanks for not getting annoyed as I tried on 10 outfits before I knew what I wanted to wear.

Thank you for staying in with pizza and a movie after a stressful week.

Thank you for going to see movies that you didn’t want to see.

Thank you for the conversations that kept us lying awake past 2 a.m.

Thank you for making birthdays away from home more homie.

Thank you for hugging me when I needed to cry.

Thank you for getting super excited about everything and being positive.

Thank you for being a truly phenomenal person.

Thank you for being my roommate now and…

Thank you for agreeing to be my roommate again next year.

Cheers to many more reasons to be thankful!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
