1. The one who sleeps a lot

They're already asleep when you're getting ready for bed, and they're asleep when you get back from class. You're not sure when they get any work done or if they've even made it out of bed and to that day's class.

2. The one who never sleeps

This is probably also the roommate who has binge-watched an entire series on Netflix since returning to school. Who else has the time to do that and all the schoolwork we get? You're kinda envious (OK, really envious) that they can manage with such little sleep.

3. The neat freak

You can't live with them, and you can't live without them. When you walk in your room and throw your stuff all over, your roommate is right there behind you picking up your belongings. But she's always there with a never ending supply of paper towels.

4. The slob

Once again, you can't live with them and you can't live without them. It's fine if they're messy, as long as it stays in their section. Once it overflows into yours, you become the neat freak.

5. The one who knows everyone

You can't walk more than five steps without them stopping to say hi to someone, which then leads to a whole conversation. You have to awkwardly wait for them to wrap up their conversation before you can walk another five feet them to see someone else they know.

6. The one who is super involved

You never see this roommate. They went to the activities fair and signed up for every table they stopped at. When someone asks where they are, you honestly can't answer.

7. The procrastinator

It's midnight, and they're just sitting down at their desk to start their assignment due at 8 a.m. And you know this will probably result in a mental/emotional breakdown an hour later. You just keep their distance and let them do their thing.

8. The partier

No matter what day of the week it is or what time of the day it is, this roommate is ready to go out. They have a 9 a.m. class the next morning and they don't care. You definitely spend a decent amount of time worrying about their sanity.

9. The roommate who is not really your roommate

They're usually someone's friend from home or a current roommates old roommate. But regardless of who they are, they're welcomed with open arms. You can usually find them sprawled out on the floor or in someone's bed. You wonder how long before they just move in.

10. Your best friend(s)

No matter what type of roommate you have, hopefully, they're also your best friend(s). There's no better bonding then living with each other.

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.
