Why having a roommate is a good thing

When students are moving onto campus they hope that they get a room to themselves. They want all the space and privacy they can get for college life. However, maybe having a roommate is not so bad and I am going to give some reasons as to why having a roommate is a good thing

It gets really lonely after a while when you are in your room by yourself. Having a roommate eliminates that feeling because you know you will always have someone in there to welcome you back after a long day. Even when you are stressing about something in particular, you can always vent to your roommate no matter what and they will listen.

Whenever your are sick, who is going to take care of you? Your parents? Probably not since they are many miles away from you. They expect you take care of yourself now that you are independent. But you know who can take care of you while you are ill? Your roommate! They will be gladly to help you get better.

Borrowing items! If you do not have a certain thing, odds are that your roommate has it. But do not forget to ask if it is okay to borrow the items that you need. You can borrow things like, hair ties, sticky notes, Clorox wipes, paper, etc.

These are just a few reasons why having a roommate is a good thing. For some it can be complicated to share a space with an unknown person but once you start talking and trusting your roommate it is going to be great! They will help you study, make you be motivated even when you are down, and best thing all of all, they become one of your closest friends!

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.

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.

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.
