6 Things You Forgot To Thank Your Roommates For

Because living with someone is never easy.

6 Things You Forgot To Thank Your Roommates For

I have been fortunate in my college career in that all my roommates have been stellar. They have gone above and beyond for me, and there are a few things that I haven't thanked them for enough.

1. Thank you for watching The Bachelor with me

And every other silly show I don't want to watch alone. You're always there to make a bowl of popcorn and try to understand why I'm screaming at the TV (although I think we can all agree-Corinne needs to go.)

2. Thank you for getting me out of my comfort zone

Even though I protest when you suggest we do something new, the best stories come from it. Without you I would never have been brave enough to do half the crazy things we have, and wouldn't be nearly as social.

3. Thank you for calming me down

Whether I did terribly on a test, didn't get into that class I needed or made a fool of myself at the bar, you're always there to put things into perspective. Thank you for reminding me that in the grand scheme of life, the little troubles won't matter in the end.

4. Thank you for holding my hair

Living the college life isn't easy, and sometimes we all get a little too crazy. Thanks for feeding me and making sure I'm properly hydrated when those margaritas come back to haunt me.

5. Thank you for wiping my tears

Boys, school and work is a lot to handle, and there have been instances where the situation has reduced me to tears. I know no matter what I can count on you for a good ranting session or a sad movie night complete with ice cream and wine.

Lastly, thank you for being my friend. I know I'm not always the easiest to live with, but you love me even with my flaws. You have been with me through the good, bad and raccoon-eyed times, and there's no way I would be able to survive college 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.

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.
