For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.


You come home and they're already in your room.

Your door wasn't open. You've been gone all day. Nice to see you too, I guess.

They help themselves to all your food.

That leftover pizza you thought was in you fridge has somehow magically disappeared.

Your clothes are their clothes.

"I'm borrowing this."

They've requested their own space in your closet.

Of course, because college has ample space for everyone.

People are shocked when they find out you're not roommates.

Wait, does she even live in this building?

They've added their name to your door.

Squad goals, am I right?

Sometimes they sleep in your bed even though they have their own.

Note to self: twin dorm beds are not ideal for sleepovers.

They never knock.

Yeah, go ahead, come on in.

They leave their miscellaneous items all over your room while you and your actual roommate wonder who's stuff it is...

Some of the Schmidt's jar.

"Is this yours?" "No..."

Sometimes they follow you into the bathroom while you shower so they can talk to you.

The more the merrier, right?

No matter how much they're in your space, you wouldn't have it any other way.

To my honorary roommate, I wouldn't trade you for the world. You're always welcome to eat my food, wear my clothes, and even talk to me while I shower.

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.
