Thank You To My College Roommate

You are my person.

Thank You To My College Roommate
Rolling Stone

Roomie,

It’s crazy to believe that one person has the power to change your life. As I reflect on the past eight months of living together, I simply wanted to catch up on a few thank-yous that I owe you:

Thank you for always being my go-to person to always get food with.

Thank you for putting up with me when I feel the need to sing “Pillowtalk” at the top of my lungs.

Thank you for always letting me borrow your clothes because yours are always so much cuter than mine.

Thank you for the spontaneous trips to wherever we feel like going that day.

Thank you for calling me out when I am doing (or saying) something stupid.

Thank you for always being up to dance it out.

Thank you for reminding me I have class, or waking me up so I don’t miss my class.

Thank you for being like a mom and nursing me back to health when I am sick.

Thank you for accepting me when I look completely homeless.

Thank you for letting me vicariously live through you when you have your crazy stories to tell.

Thank you for always remembering your room key when I always somehow seem to forget mine.

Thank you for always being up to binge watching “Greys Anatomy” while eating Yogurtland.

Thank you for screaming High School Musical songs at the top of your lungs with me and embracing our inner twelve-year-old.

Thank you for making me laugh in times when I needed it most.

Thank you for always being there during this crazy whirlwind of freshman year.

Thank you for securing your place as my future bridesmaid.

Thank you for being you, and for being the wonderful human that has forever changed my life.

As I look back about eight months ago toward the beginning of my freshman year, I would have never guessed that this person that I was randomly assigned to share a room with would ultimately become my best friend. I can never thank you enough for making my first year of college unforgettable.

Love,

Your Roomie

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.
