Why You Should Always Live With Your Best Friends

If the opportunity comes up, do not let it go.

Why You Should Always Live With Your Best Friends
Madalyn Norton

Living with your best friends is an amazing opportunity. One that you will probably not get the chance to do again so take advantage of it while you can.

I live in a house in Lexington that is right off of campus. It's kind of reminds me of the dogs that everyone refers to as "ugly cute". When you first see it, it is hideous, but if you squint your eyes until they are closed it is kind of cute, in a way.

While my house may not be the best on the outside, it is the inside of the house that makes it so special. And by the inside I am not referring to the interior architecture, that's not any better from the outside, I am talking about the amazing girls that live in my house.

I live with seven of the most amazing girls I have ever met and I am not sure how I could do college without them.

Their names are Molly, Jane, Carly, Maddie, Heather, Hannah, and Taylor.

They allow my life to constantly be filled with energy, crazy stories and lots and lots of laughter. While we all get along well, the one thing that makes our friendship work so well is how different we all are.

Molly is a broadcast journalism major and she is the stylist of the house, she has her own fashion blog, wants to be a sports broadcaster one day. She loves to take photos and videos and is our social media queen.

Janie is the hard-worker. I have never met someone who can do so many things in one day. From working two jobs to studying at the library she is constantly on the go and makes it look easy.

Carly is the laid back one of the house. Coming from someone who is always uptight and stressing, I envy her. She seems to always be able to find a way to make things seem okay.

Maddie is the confident one. It does not matter what life throws at her she always comes out on top and is rarely flustered by the issues she faces.

Heather is the carefree one. If I could trade traits with anyone in the house I think it would be her. I am the anxious one in the house and Heather is always level headed and optimistic.

Hannah is the spontaneous one. She is always down for an adventure, whether it is to another state or just to see if the ice cream machine at McDonald's is working you can always count her in to join you.

And lastly there's Taylor, or T, she is the mature one of the house. The one who has her life together. Somehow she is able to balance academics and a social life flawlessly.

Living with your best friends has its own problems but they are nothing when compared to the fact that the person asleep in the bed next to yours will be there for you no matter what.

Having so many different personalities in a house could cause chaos but for us, it is a perfect mix.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
