A Thank You Letter For My Roomie

I could not be more grateful for you.

A Thank You Letter For My Roomie
Lauren Slygh

Lord knows that before we even moved in we were harassed with millions of questions about our new lives together...but my all time favorite was "How do you know she isn't crazy?"

To be rightfully honest, you are and I love you for it. But I didn't know the answers to all of the other questions, after all we met through a schooling app. I mean, we seemed like a good fit? I guess when we picked a fight or disagreed we would cross the bridge at a later date.

THANKFULLY NONE OF THOSE HAPPENED.

We just became friends. You were so wonderful to talk to and we just seemed to understand each other's mind. Our minds are almost always in sync, we just get each other. We have similar personalities, we are both sassy and go with the flow but have a set routine. It wasn't hard for us to get along.

I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for being there and letting me cry.

I know during the first few months of school it wasn't easy. We were both emotional wrecks. Thank you for not thinking I was a crazy person and for letting me do my own thing without asking too many questions but making sure I knew you were always there to help.

Thank you for loving my friends.

I know it can be completely frustrating hearing your roommate talk to people she feels comfortable with and she knows but thank you for always wanting to know about me and connect with those in my life. Thank you for being open to my crazy past when it wasn't easy to keep up on some days.

Thank you for giving the best advice.

You always know the right thing, when to say it and how long to say it for. Especially when it comes to the boy talks or sessions about how I just want to give up. Thank you for talking to me about everything when I knew I was talking your ear off.

Thank you for not getting mad when my room is always messy.

I know it can be annoying, and because my half is the part that people see whenever they walk in you never seem to get upset with me even if you are on the inside. But thank you for understanding when I couldn't find the time to clean it up.

Thank you for always being there to ask how my day was.

One of my favorite things about living with you is that no matter what type of day, or time of day it is I can alway come to you and know that we can talk about what is going on in our lives good or bad. Coming home to someone who I can be open and honest with is so comforting.

Thank you for being there when things got tough.

You are the one person who sees me every day or every year. Thank you for keeping me from drowning in my sorrows and in my schoolwork. Especially for helping me pick up my broken pieces with a heart break or emotional breakdown.


I know I always have a friend to fall back on, and I cannot be more thankful for you each and every day.

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.
