I really appreciate you putting up with my nonsense.

A Thank You Letter To My College Roommates
Molly Stark

Dear Roommates,

I just wanted to let all three of you know that I appreciate all you have done for me throughout these past few years of college. I can't tell you how much I appreciate when you make my bed, laugh at my jokes, and do my dishes when I forget. Even though these gestures are small, they go a long way for me, and I mean that.

First and foremost, All three of you are loved. Although I might not have the best way of showing that at times, just understand that I love all three of you unconditionally, in three different ways.

H- I love you because you always have my best interests at heart- thank you for reminding me not to buy another drink because I have an early class the next day; I don't know what I would do without you right by my side. Also, thank you for giving me the best hugs after a bad day. I appreciate you.

C- I love you because you have been there for me since I was fifteen years old; there isn't one day where I can't count on you. Thank you for always bringing me back to Earth- especially when I'm having one of my dramatics moments, which occur quite frequently. I appreciate you.

L- I love you because you know exactly how to make me laugh. Although most of the time we're arguing, just know that it is out of pure love. You are like the sister I never had, and I wouldn't change that for the world. Thank you for putting up with me when I get under your skin. I appreciate you.


All three of you-

Thank you for allowing me to open up to you. As you know, I'm not the best at answering the infamous question of "what's wrong?" or "are you mad at me?". Nine times out of ten I shut myself in my room and tell you guys to leave me alone- but thank you for being there when I want to open up.

Thank you for being understanding. I understand that I'm difficult and stubborn - especially when I don't get my daily two hour naps. Even though I tend to take my frustrations out on you guys, I want you to know that I am SO thankful that you all are there to grin and bear it. I don't think anybody else would put up with me like you guys do.

Thank you for not being embarrassed (or pretending not to be). I'm well-aware that I can be pretty embarrassing especially when I'm twerking in the bulk candy section in Wegmans, singing in the car at the top of my lungs, or taking a goofy snapchat video when we are out in public. Anyone else would filing for a new roommate, but you guys are right by my side laughing at my ridiculousness, and I can't thank you enough for that.

Thank you for being you. I honestly am so blessed to live with you three amazing individuals. All of you are so unique and wonderful! I know that we all have our moments (mostly me) but I wouldn't change anything that we have for the world. You guys are my people and always will be.

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.
