The 15 Things You Share As Roommates

Whether you live with one other person, five other people, or a group of 15, as a college students you know what it is like to share just about everything with your roommates. From clothes, to food, to life, your roommates are the ones who have all the cute rompers, late night gooey-fudge cookies, and advice to get you through each week. Yes, there are those never-ending battles about who lost your favorite little black dress, and you can't forget about who took the last piece of cheese, but overall, you learn that living with these other people truly teaches you how to care and share…

  1. Fruit…. honestly its probably a good things since it goes bad so quickly to begin with.
  2. Clothes…from dresses, to work out pants, to underwear (yes, its happened) closets are open to anyone you live with.
  3. Jewelry…those big gold hoops are meant to be shared with the world.
  4. Products…. hair spray, shampoo, deodorant, you name it. Somewhere along the line you and your roommates will have all used the same product, maybe even in the same night.
  5. Perfume…we all need to smell good, don’t we?
  6. Secrets…roommates are so much more than roommates, they’re best friends and second family. If they didn’t know all your deep and dirty life secrets, living with them would never be as fun.
  7. Pizza…. that one roommates to treat to late night pizza is a GOD.
  8. Advice…without the help from friends, how would we know about the stupid boy that’s a shady player, or the lucky numbers to pick for that weeks lottery poll.
  9. Boyfriends…not physically, but mentally, as roommates, we're all comfortable enough to cuddle up with someone’s man and it be completely accepted.
  10. Snacks…Cheese-itz, pretzels, Doritos, Oreos, the list goes on forever. Everyone in the house has different tastes and that’s the best part about it.
  11. Chores…the house has to stay clean somehow, and when everyone does their part it makes life so much easier.
  12. Homework…. getting good grades is the most important thing in college, and having your roommates help you with it can overall help your GPA by a landslide.
  13. Families…getting so unbelievably close with the people you live with is inevitable. Their family becomes yours and vice versa.
  14. Anything regarding hair…losing hair-ties is a normalcy when you are constantly sharing them with six other people.
15. Alcohol…what is the point of having fun if it cant be with your best friends.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
