An Open Letter To My Roommates
Kassandra Mantz

As we get ready to move into our house together this week, I am a sea of emotions and I know you guys are too. I am overjoyed to be getting to experience our first taste of actual semi-adult life with my best friends, but I’m also so scared for what responsibilities I know lie ahead for us. I can’t wait to pretend we’re interior decorators and argue about how much pink two of us may or may not try to fill the house with, but at least we can all agree on some glitter here and there. Not as excited for the bills, though.

This next year is going to be full of laughter, tears, stress and more fun than we can ever imagine. I promise to personally make sure that we have triple the ups than we will downs. When times get tough I promise to talk things out and make sure that we all fall asleep smiling because at the literal end of the day we all love each other unconditionally and that’s all that will ever matter.

When you guys are trying to study, I promise I will distract you guys enough to make sure you’re never working too hard. Also, a huge thank you in advance from myself and my GPA for keeping me on track and making sure I’ll study and do all of my work.

I cannot wait to not brush my own hair after I shower and steal all of your clothes. You guys know mi closet es su closet always as well.

I promise to try and motivate us to go to the gym and I promise even harder that we will eat ice cream after because we deserve it. Actually, we deserve ice cream all the time so expect it whether we go to the gym or not. More than likely not.

I’m already sorry for the amount of times I will be climbing into your beds at night because we all know how bad I am at sleeping alone. But just know my bed will always have room for you guys every single night you need it, too. In addition to sleeping, I’m sorry for all of the nights that I will keep you guys up because I’m an insomniac and get a little weird after 10 p.m.

We are all so diverse, yet so alike in different ways. We all level each other out in the most harmonizing way possible and that’s why I know we are going to be perfectly fine and make the best out of this next year. I love you guys so much and cheers to our upcoming adventures. I cannot wait.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
