An Open Letter To My Next College Roommate
Divine Brooks

I Dear Roommate,

We progressively became really great friends over my first year of college and your second year. We met first semester and we would walk past each other and casually speak. As second semester came, we became even better friends.We started actually hanging out and texting each other. It was you, I, and another one of our best friends against the world! We enjoyed every minute of it, not realizing how fast the time was going by until the end of the year. We pulled study nights staying up talking and studying until wee hours of the morning. Then we'd leave to get food because it was 2 A.M. and you were getting hungry. We had to make the hardest choice of our lives in that moment: Cookout or McDonalds? Maybe even Wawa because you love their Macaroni.

We realized that we wear the same bra size, same clothes size and almost the same shoe size, almost. We already started sharing clothes. I joined the sorority that you are a part of. You didn’t take a little, but you are my fig and I am your flittle. You are there for me when I need you and vice versa.


The end of the year came so fast; time flies when you are having fun they say, and it is immensely true. It was time to pick where we would be living in our next year of college, all three of us knew we were going to be together, just not exactly sure where at.

You and I ended up being roommates for the next school year. I am so excited and I cannot wait until move-in day next year. Our rooms already match now and when they are together, just think of how beautiful our room is going to be.

Our room is going to be so cute; it is going to be teal, beach themed, and our letters are going to be everywhere. It may be a mess at times, but who cares? It’s a college dorm room. When we have our kitchen, we'll be so busy laughing that we'll have to make sure we don't burn anything.

Before we move in together, let me warn you about a few things: I make weird noises when I stretch, I like to sleep a lot, I stress myself out to the point that I only get 3 hours of sleep sometimes, and some days, I can get really moody and just want to be to myself, but you already know that. Do not think that you did anything wrong because it is just me being moody.

Knowing that I am going to have a best friend who will take 2 A.M. drives with me, who will go on Starbucks runs with me, who will be my support system when nobody else seems to be there and who will be my right hand lady is the best feeling in the world. I know you will be there through thick and thin and we'll have to make sure our embarrassing secrets remain hidden.

We will have our late night talks about Justin Bieber, hot guys, and tattoos. I know we will share lots of laughs, stories and stressful nights together, but we are going to make it through all of it with the help of each other. I love you so much and it will never change.

Love,

Your next crazy college roommate

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
