When You Find The Perfect Roommate

They become more than a roommate.

When You Find The Perfect Roommate
Izabel Horn

Being in college, it is not always the easiest to find the perfect person to live with. For some people in their freshman year, the random roommate set up is the perfect situation, and those two continued to be roommates throughout the duration of college. Other times, this is not the case and the first year living with someone new is a struggle. However, when you do find that perfect roommate situation everything just feels right. Everything seems to fall into place and you don't mind sharing a small space with them. You two end up enjoying doing everything together and find the joy in every situation.

It's the times when you are stressed out over just about everything possible and your roommate is the one that calms you down. I cannot count the amount of time she has sat and listened to me rant off about everything and anything I could possibly rant about. After some time of me letting some steam out, she then offered up help of what I should do. You are not just a roommate, you are also a therapist.

It's because of the times we never seem to stop laughing. Snapchat comes out with a new filter that changes your voice, and a few hours, and way too many videos later, we finally seem to calm down after people come check on us to see if we are okay. Did you talk in your sleep the night before? You know that at lunch I will tell everyone, yet no one will think that it is as funny as we do. You are not just a roommate, yet you are also my joy in small situations.

It is also the times that you act like a mother to me. Instead of asking me to do something, you demand that I do it on my own. You push me out of my comfort zone and help me grow into who I will become. You are there to pick up the pieces if I totally fall apart from it all. You are not just my roommate, you are one of the people in my life who pushes me to become a better me.

I can not be more thankful to have found you and to be living with you. Not many people are able to find a person in the way that I found you. You are more then I could think of in a roommate and nothing would be the same without you.

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.
