The transition from high school to college is not easy, but you made it and you moved into a room the size of a shoebox with a stranger, ahhhh freshman roomies. You probably are hometown acquaintances, met on Facebook or randoms though the school’s questionnaire. No matter how you found your way to each other, you did, and on that move in day you walked in hoping that you weren’t about to end up with a psycho passive aggressive roommate. If you were one of the lucky ones you hugged hello to your freshman roomie not knowing she was about to become your best friend. No other year of my life has been filled with more ups and downs than the notorious freshman year of college. Through and through all the rough times one person remained constant, my roommate. It’s time to thank the person who carried me through the blur that we refer to as freshman year.
