Thank You Letter to My Roomie

When I first moved into my dorm room I was really nervous. I was really anxious of what was to come of me and the new roommate. Little did I know that she would become not just my roommate, but mostly my lifeline. I would not have made it through the past year without her in my life. I probably will not make it through the rest of life without her. So, roomie, thank you for everything that you do.

Thank you for being my motivator.

Thank you for being my motivation on most days. If it was not for you waking me up most mornings I would not have made it to class. You motivate me to do homework whenever I do not feel like it. On some days I feel overwhelmed by stress, or what I have left to do, and you make me eat. I would most likely starve if it wasn't for you. All the Taco Bell burritos and Mountain Dews did not go to waste -- I promise you!


Thank you for being my therapist.

Thank you for being my shoulder to lean on. Anytime I seemed to have a problem I knew exactly where to run. Anytime I needed to cry or found myself for crying I knew you were my shoulder to cry on and would cry with me. Thank you for every piece of advice that you did not have to give, but did just to make me smile. Through all the rough things that I have gone through you have known exactly what to do. When I was to upset to text you knew exactly what to say, and when to say it to that person. You have kept me sane in the insane house we live in.

Thank you for being the Ying to my Yang.

You are my complete opposite, but you and I balance each other perfectly. Thank you for being outgoing when I was shy. Thank you for going to the ball field with me when a boy called because I was scared. Thank you for getting his attention when I am to shy to call his name since others are around. Thank you for siting and watching TV shows with me while you more than likely hated it. Thank you for going to Chic-fil-A with me even though you absolutely hate chicken. You are just you. You equal me out better than anything I know -- so thank you, again, for being you.

Thank you for being my heart and brain.

I am one that can not seem to get enough courage to talk to a guy at times. Thank you for making me search through my heart and pretty much making go on that first date. Thank you for being my conscious. You are always there in my brain. You make sure I question if something is good or bad for me. You were there for me through all the bad hair color days and bad boy choices -- and let us not forget the terrible major I declared. Thank you for being there.

Thank you for being my best friend.

You are the best friend I could ask for. When we became roommates little did I know you would become my other half. Since we have moved in together, we have been glued to the hip. Around campus people pretty much know that we are always together. Thank you for the Checkers late night drive-thru runs. We enjoy late night ice cream runs, and drives just to clear our head. You know how to make me laugh when that guy breaks my heart. You know how to help me forget when that stupid boy forgets our date. You make sure guys understand that when they get me -- they get you. And I am perfectly okay with that.

I am beyond grateful that I got to have you as not only my roommate, but also my best friend, motivator, therapist, and everything else under the sun. I already have two younger sisters, but you're the twin that I always wanted. I am thankful for our school and sorority that brought us together. Now that you're my best friend, how do I go through the rest of life without 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.

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.
