The 10 Emotional Stages Of Your Roommate Leaving For The Weekend
Hannah Reynolds

1. "I have the room all to myself"

The first stage is the easiest, this is the stage where it hasn't hit you that you are by yourself for the weekend. In this stage, you are excited to "have the house to yourself" for the whole weekend.

2. Get everything done.

The second stage is where you realize you need to actually do some homework instead of binge-watching "Shameless" for the third time. Without the peer pressure of hanging out with your roommate and going to get food like you always do together, you are able to realize how much attention your biology homework needs.

3. "Wait, now what do I do?"

Now, this is the stage where it starts to hit you that it will be 2 whole days until you see your roommate again...

4. Go out with your other friends.

So by this stage, you've already gone through the initial realization that you're alone for the weekend so you decide to hang out with your other friends for a change.

5. Watch movies.

The fifth stage usually happens on a Saturday when you've done everything you wanted to do and you're now stuck in the dorm for another day alone because let's be honest, you don't go outside unless you have to.

6. Check the time

This is the point in the weekend that you have been watching movies all day long and honestly don't know if it's Saturday or Sunday.

7. Count down the hours

Okay, by now you're just ready to have something to do so you calculate approximately how long it will be before your roommate decides to come back to you.

8. Look through the peephole

At this point in the weekend, you're so desperate that every time you hear someone walk past your door with their keys rattling you assume it's your beloved roommate and rush to the peephole only to find out its another frat guy walking down your hall.

9. Wait some more

10. The moment you've been waiting for.

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.

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.
