I was blessed with an amazing roommate my freshman year of college

Top 5 Reasons I Love My Roommate
Taylor Maguire

When I first arrived at Olivet College I had two roommates, and I wasn't sure if I was going to find myself in the situation where your roommate is your best friend and other half. During the first semester I became close friends with my soon to be roommate, and the more we hung out, the more we realized we needed to be roommates. This is why.

1. She cheers me up when I'm down.

She honestly knows me so well, even though we have only known each other for about less than a year, she acts like she has known me my whole life. She knows everything about me, from random facts to important personal details. She'll cuddle me and ask me whats wrong and try to squeeze it out of me because I'm not very good at talking about my feelings, but she always manages to get it out of me and help me feel better.

2. She is the funniest person I know.

She has such an outgoing personality everyone just loves, I don't know how one couldn't! She is always saying or doing something weird and hilarious that makes everyone laugh and she does not care at all what other people think, which is something that I look up to her for.

3. She will always put others before herself.

Ever since I met her, she has always been the one to put others before herself. She is always helping me and others with things such as sports, home work, and projects. She also has this little problem with saying 'No' to people, no matter what the subject or matter is, she'll feel bad and say something like, "Maybe next week" or "Some other time we definitely can."

4. We literally do everything together.

I mean everything! We go to lunch, walk to class, watch scary movies, and we skip class together (don't tell our moms). We even rearranged our dorm room so our beds could be combined into one massive bed.

5. I wouldn't ask for anybody else.

I am so blessed to have met such an amazing person like her. She is not only my roommate, but my best friend. Even though we live three plus hours apart, that doesn't stop us from FaceTime and texting each other every single day, all day (literally, I mean all day) and driving to see each other whenever we have the chance.

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.

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.
