Typically, during the summer, I always dread going back to school, because it always leads to moutains of homework, lack of sleep, and all kinds of responsibilities that I am not ready to face. Though, when the start of the school year drew closer and closer, I found that I was looking forward to being back at my beautiful home away from home, mostly because I was able to see my best friend again. The best part was that we're literally neighbors, our rooms being connected by a little hallway that leads to our bathroom and also by a shared balcony, that has the best view.

Now, before I get ahead of myself, let me start with how we met each other. Stephanie and I didn't meet through any class, because we literally had none together. We actually met because her and her roommate's room was right across the hall from mine and my roommate's room. If my memory hasn't failed me, I believe I met Stephanie's roommate, Rebecca, first and through her we started to hang out more. For the life of me, currently, I cannot remember how or why it happened, but we became fast friends. Whenever we saw each other in the hallways, we'd always greet each other with a sound. No 'hello' or 'hi'. Just these weird sounds that would cause any normal person to pause in confusion and give us a look. We didn't care though. It was amusing and always made us laugh.

I think what helped us to become friends so easily was that we had many similiar interests and could talk for hours about literally anything. This past week alone, we talked about the new FNAF game for a few hours, before talking about a bunch of things related to YouTube and gaming. One night, because we were trying to distract ourselves from midterms, we went back and forth, sharing videos and songs with each other.

The best thing about being best friends with my suitmate is that I can rely on her to be there for me, make me laugh on terrible days, and never judge me for my faults. I can go on and on about memories that we have shared together, but what more do you need to know? If you would have told me that I would be living next door to my best friend as a sophmore, back when I had first started college, I might not have believed you. Now, however, I could not imagine us not being best friends, her and I. I thank God all the time for putting Stephanie in my life and I look forward to making all kinds of ridiculous new memories with her in the future.
