15 Things I Need To Thank My Roommates For
"True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing."

I've been blessed this year to get amazing roommates and an "adopted" one too. College would not be the same without these gems. That being said, I don't give these girls enough credit. They're here for me 24/7 and while we constantly bicker, we always find a way to make it through. Here are fifteen things I definitely have to thank them for.

1. Listening to my heated rants

Sometimes it's midnight rants about genetically-modified foods, other nights it's boys and other everything between.


2. Staying up until early morning hours to be my moral support.

We all hunker down and drink coffee and bond over mutual hatred for homework.


3. Being the Duff in my selfies when I'm trying to look good

There's nothing to lose when your friend has a crush on a guy, so why not make her look best?


4. Being available when I lock myself out of our dorm

The key is usually on my desk... You guys are the real MVP.


5.Not judging me on my taste of music

Even when you really don't understand it.


6. Not hating me for turning every light on when I get ready in the morning

My morning person and your morning person don't get along, but you still love me.


7. Being my moral support when I replay every aspect of the conversation between me and a boy

Whether I've actually talked to the boy or not there might be something to overthink.


8. Reading into things just to make me feel better

"He touched your arm on the way to the Rot, it's almost ring by spring!"


9. Keeping the room neat - when I forget

Room check reps would cost me a fortune if it wasn't for you guys.


10.Being my Personal Stylist

"You can totally pull off red lipstick, plaid and checker does NOT go together, don't wear those shoes with those pants. What is that eyeshadow?"


11.Late night Walmart runs because I'm hungry

FOOD and a college budget don't go well together.


12. Morning Teeth and Toothpaste checks

"Do I have anything on my face?"


13. Eating lunch with me so I'm not alone

The Rot is a scary place without friends.


14. Not telling me "I told you so"

I usually deserve an " I told you so", but you guys don't say it.


15. Laughing with me

You guys are the best roommates a girl could ask for. Thank you for laughing with me, listening to me, and enjoying college with me.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
