First Roomies Are Pretty Serious, Make Sure You Thank Yours

I can’t imagine having anyone else to bond with for a whole year.

First Roomies Are Pretty Serious, Make Sure You Thank Yours
Me

A first roommate is a pretty intense thing. Before we met, I told myself if it was horrible we would only be together for a year so I could survive, but thankfully I got a good one. So, Thank you. Thank you for endless things. Embarking on a new journey in a new city is not always easy. But if it wasn’t for you it would have been much harder.

Thanks for being there even when our parents left us and we had to start out on our own. Thanks for being there as we roamed around looking for where our classes would be. Thanks for being there on the first day of school, and being an instant lunch buddy afterward.

Thanks for being here when things at home were complicated, but you were a nice 3rdparty input. Thanks for always respecting my odd quirks (i.e. milk, night night stretches). Thanks for always being there for a rant about anything that could ever annoy me. Thanks for always listening, and suggesting great Netflix shows like turning me into a Gilmore Girls monster.

Thanks for telling me my hair was brown even though it was basically dirty blonde but I told you I needed a big change and brunette was the only way to do it. Thanks for thought-provoking talks about Jesus late at night and laughs about how great the nunnery will be (if you don’t know, you don’t know don’t ask). Thanks for cringing at the hair in the shower stories and learning to like my Keurig that woke you up most mornings. Most importantly, thanks for getting up at 4:30 in the morning and being there for the best day of my life aka the day sweet Tim Tebow hugged me and I needed nothing more out of my life.

I can’t imagine having anyone else to bond with for a whole year. No matter where we go from here, I am thankful to have had you by my side through what felt like the first huge change in my life. They say it’s funny how well you get to know someone when you live with them, and sure enough they were right. You are definitely a blessing I will count, being in a room alone will be odd!!! So thank you times a million.

P.S. I really hope we were the friendly ones and #VolBabies

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
