5 Benefits to Having Your Best Friend As Your Roommate
Stephanie Augello

http://quotesgram.com/quotes-not-being-honest/College is a crazy time for everyone and having your best friend by your side helps you get through those tough days and even helps you make memories on the best days. Having my best friend as my roommate has been the best thing that's happened to me since being at school. There are so many perks to having her as my roommate but here are just a few:

1. You always have two closets.

College dorms are absolutely tiny and it’s so difficult to bring everything you want to wear throughout the year and fit it in your closets. Having another closet with similar style to your own makes things much easier. Plus, it’s like you're always shopping for two when you're always asking each other what to buy because you both know the other person will end up stealing it.


2. They’re always there for emergencies.

Whether it’s forgetting to turn off your straightener or a light or just needing someone to be there for you on your bad days, your best friend is almost always in your room to help you out. Especially if you've going out and had a bad night, they're always there the next day when you wake up and need to be reminded of everything that happened and knowing she was there with you the whole time.

3. You always have someone to hang out with.

When you're bored and have nothing to do, there’s always someone to go to eat with you or even just do homework with you. Even if you have nothing to say to each other, it’s just nice to have someone you're so close with who’s around you.

4. They’ll always be honest with you.

When asking how you look right before you leave they’ll never lie to you just to make you feel better. My roommate always tells me if my hair looks bad or if my make up is too over the top. Even though sometimes I want to kill her for it, I know I should be thankful that I have someone who feels so comfortable with me to not think they're making me feel bad.

5. You pretty much do everything together.

Especially if you're involved in the same clubs, you pretty much find yourselves always together. It’s so nice to have someone you really like always around you because it keeps your spirits high and keeps someone so similar close to you.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
