Why I am Thankful for my Roommate

There are good ones, there are bad ones, I was lucky enough to end up with a great one.

Why I am Thankful for my Roommate

In college, it’s kind of hard to live without a roommate. If you are in the dorms you are more than likely going to get one or pay extra not to have one. If you live off campus, chances will be that you need a roommate in order to afford to live off campus. There are good ones and there are bad ones; I am very thankful that I have a great one.

My roommate is a lovely human being with some of the greatest energy you will every experience. It is a very worrying thing if she isn’t smiling. She always has a crazy good energy coming from her. Whether it is about her cat, who is the second favorite, or just life, in general, she never fails to put me in a great mood.

She is always singing. No joke, whether it is a song from the Hamilton soundtrack, or one of her favorite songs that she has put on while she is getting ready. She is always singing and it is probably the greatest thing to hear. That and her talking to her cat, don’t worry we both do it.

She is willing to go get ice cream and candy in our pj’s at 11 at night just to fulfill our cravings. Watching Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Fallon, and Vampire Diaries to procrastinate and laugh. Drink more coffee than is humanly possible because we are pretty sure it runs through our veins. And watching Harry Potter and being able to quote every word of them.

In rehearsal for the Grizzly Marching Band, she again always has that super amazing energy that follows her where ever she goes. She runs to her spot, well it is more like skipping, and waits for instructions with a giant smile on her face. She goes and practices with all her heart, even if the music is making her frustrated, she goes and tries her hardest.

Even when we go grocery shopping and tell each other, “ok no buying something we don’t need.” She still makes it fun.

Whether it is out adventures to Glacier, grocery shopping, or just sitting in our apartment doing homework. I am thankful for her and all the lovely things that come with her, her crazy cat, her singing and her amazing energy. So thank you for being my roommate, letting me take pictures of you, and bringing your crazy energy into my 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.

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.
