To My Freshman Year Roommate At The End Of Our First Semester
Caitlin McCafferty

Dear Roommate,

Well this is it, we finished out first semester of college! It seems like just yesterday we were out buying the things for our room and now we are leaving each other for about a month. I am extremely thankful for you and all you do for me. Heres to you roomie.

Thank you for making college not so scary. The transition from high school to college can be very scary. However, having you with me through it made it less scary. You and I helped each other realize it is not meant to be scary, it is meant to be fun and you just have to focus on that( and learning of course). Without you, I do not know if I would have made it.

Thanks for always pushing me to be my best. Whether it was pushing me to study or to go to the gym, you always were looking out for me. You see potential in me that I never saw and you encouraged me to thrive and succeed in everything I do. You are my biggest cheerleader and I will forever love you for that.

Thanks for always having my back. No matter what I did or the crazy situation I was in, I knew I could always count on you. You are always ready to jump to my defense and back me up when I need it. You constantly look out for me and it is nice always having someone in my corner. Together, we take down anyone who messes with us.

Thanks for being crazy with me. All my crazy stories I tell my friends at home begin with you. Those times we stayed up until 2 a.m laughing at nothing and making fun of each other will forever hold a special place in my heart. You never fail to make me laugh and together we are the insane in the best way possible.

Thanks for going everywhere with me. Every time we go out, I am glad I have you next too me. We became inseparable the past couple months. Those rare times when we do not go somewhere together, we constantly get asked where the other is. From going to the city to little things like lunch, I love how we sit and talk for hours.

Thanks for being my singing partner. We created a playlist dedicated to us singing the songs together. We run around singing and dancing like weirdos( because that is basically what we are) and it is so much fun. I love singing and dancing with you and although we are terrible at both, we get to laugh at each other.

Thanks for listening to my problems. When one of my friends from home made me mad or I had a big test I was nervous for, you sat and listened to me freak out. You listened to problems about people and things you did not even know, and you sat and wait until I was done. All those times I would rant to you, after I caught my breath, you would give me the best advice. You became my rock.

I know people say that it is bad to be best friends with your roommate. With us, I could not imagine not being close to you. We became family after a couple short months and we even have planned to live with each other the next couple years. I cannot imagine beginning this journey with anyone else and I cannot wait to see what it brings us. I love you lots roomie see you soon xo.

Much Love,

Your Roommate

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.

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.
