15 Signs You Drew The Right Roomie Lottery
Mekam Anya

My expectations for my roommates every year have been very low so far. The only real requirements I had was that: They can't off me in my sleep and they can't touch or steal my TV and books. I'm pretty sure I told nearly all my friends how nervous I was about moving into my dorm this year and how the roommate situation would work out.
Would they actually interact with me or just pretend I was a friendly ghost?

Would they have annoying habits that I'd be stuck with for at least an entire semester?

Do they like anime?

And to my great surprise and relief, I didn't have to worry about any of those things. And we all agreed after a few months that we probably couldn't have been stuck with better roommates especially compared to our respective old roommates.

I'm so happy I was able to live with these two amazing girls for the past year and though we'll no longer be roommates anymore, I know I've gained two new friends, who will deal with my awkward self and aren't completely ashamed to be seen in public with me.

I know that not everyone may be able to luck out with their roommate situation and I've heard plenty of horror stories from friends, but if you are blessed enough to end up with roommates like mine, you'll be able to relate to some of the experiences listed below. And if not, at least get some insight into how crazy and awesome it can be.

1. When they genuinely compliment the anime poster in your room.

2. When their alarm goes off but they're sleeping


3. That moment when you all decide to order food together

4. Discovering your apartment is housing a not-so-friendly house ghost


5. When they help you with fashion advice because you're indecisive

6. You forget your key and everyone is sleeping

7. You have people to rant to about having a terrible day (or week).


8. And people that will throw hands on your behalf, no questions asked

9. Meeting up at the same party without planning it


10. You all bring out supplies when one of the others is sick/hurt.


11. Harmonizing like bosses during your (Barbie) movie marathons


12. Getting offered car rides because parking at school sucks.

13. You all agree to "talk" to your neighbors that are too loud at 2 am during FINALS WEEK

14. Trying not to cry because you only have one week left together


15. ...but it's okay because y'all still have your roommate GroupMe to make plans

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.
