To My Roommate

Who else could put up with me?

Madison Schulman

Dear Jocelyn,

Where do I start? I've been meaning to thank you for so long. At the beginning of this school year, I felt stressed and worried about my living situation. I needed to move, and there were only a couple of options. When I came to Reynolds, I knew it was the right place for me. When we walked up to your door, you were trying to get your key out while holding a stack of books. You were so nice to me, and showed my family and I in. I knew you'd be the right person for a roommate as soon as I met you. We swapped Instagram's, and the rest was history.

I never really had friends up until then. I'm a really shy person, and I'm not very social. But when I lost my first group of friends, you were there for me. You introduced me to our silly group of friends, people who are just as amazing as you are. We've had so many adventures, from the movies to girls nights. I wouldn't have met everyone I know, so thank you.

You made the room a comfortable place for me, unlike what I had before. You let me make the room my own, and hang up my many posters on the wall. You put up with having me on the top bunk, and complaining when I'm tired.

You always make me laugh, and I love to joke around with you. You let me watch all my weird shows, some even for extended periods of time. Winding down to the TV is a great way to relax after a long day of classes.

I know I'm crazy, and you know that too. Thank you for putting up with me, and being my constant supporter through homework, exams, and just life in college. I feel like you the PB to my J, and the butter to my bread. I'm so happy I met you, because I can't imagine college without the group's hour long dinners.

I'm on my top bunk writing this, and getting weirdly emotional. I would've had no true friends if it weren't for you, so thanks. Thank you for being you, and being my college bestie.

I don't know if I would've survived college without you. Honestly. It's weird to think that this year is almost over, but I can't wait for Round 2 of rooming again next year.

Thank you, a million times over, for letting me be your roommate! You really, truly, saved my life.

Love,

Maddie (Room 202 4 Life!)

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.
