31 Thoughts When Living with Roommates

You choose the people you want to live for one of three reasons.

1. They're your friend.

2. You really need to find someone to live with/a place to live.

3. You've known them for a while and thought, "What they heck, they can't be that bad?"

Regardless of your reason for picking your roommates, there are always some thoughts that go through your head when you're actually living with them.

The Good

1. Yay, cooking together is great! We love the same food!

2. You can binge watch your favorite shows together or you can get them to love a show as much as you do!

3. Hello! Someone to zip up your dresses and help you decide what to wear when you go out.

4. They completely get me, like they really get me on a personal level.

5. I can order or make food and not have to finish it. It's like having a dog but one that will respond when I talk.

6. Someone to vent about that awful professor that is just out to get you! #Praise

7. Yes roommate I would like to try the ice cream you bought. *insert heart eyes emoji*

8. "You and this guy would soooo hit it off, I'll give him your number." Yes, ultimate wing-girl!

9. Ooooo, her brother is cute. I can definitely get used to this!

10. We. Are. The. Same. Size.

The Bad


11. Crumbs. Why are there crumbs all over our kitchen?!

12. This hair does not belong to me...

13. There is no. more. coffee. *left eye starts to twitch with anger*

14. Hmmm, it's 11 p.m. on a Tuesday and I have an 8 a.m. class... Could they not be so loud?

15. It is Wednesday! Why are you drunk on a Wednesday?!

16. Or, yes I am drunk on a Wednesday. Stop judging me!

17. This mess is not mine. I will not clean this up. Nope, nope, nope.

18. What's that smell? Oh... OH!

19. I like what I like and who I like. Your opinion is not needed if it's rude!

20. Passive aggressive notes. That is all.

The Ugly

21. What is that noise? Oh god... Where are my earplugs?!

22. Their alarm has been going off for 30 minutes... How are they not awake?!

23. Dirty Dishes. Bugs. JUST NO.

24. Why does this apartment smell like feet?!

25. *Roommate tries to hang out with your friends when you're trying to hang out with YOUR non-mutual friends*

26. How do you forget to flush the toilet?!

27. There's that smell again... CAN YOU NOT.

28. "Where is my favorite shirt?" *sees roommate wearing favorite shirt*

29. We. Are. Not. The. Same. Size.

30. You set the fire alarm off while I was asleep, prepare to die.

31. Why is the wine always gone?!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
