Okay, let’s face it: choosing your freshman college roommate is stressful as heck.

You both go into the process unaware, expecting it to be kind of like eHarmony; it ends up being a lot of stress, tears and awkward “Hey, do you have a roommate yet?” conversations. So, you search your college’s “Class of 2020” Facebook page up and down looking for “the one,” but you just can’t seem to find her. You start messaging every girl you can find, asking her questions about her family, friends, social life, hobbies, etc.

This is where the episode of “The Bachelorette” comes into the picture.

You start out with like twenty something girls. One wants her full closet space and then half of yours—dump her. One wants to bring the mini Eiffel Tower she designed out of Q-tips—dump her. One likes to listen to rock music with the volume all the way up—dump her. One still watches Dragon Tales—dump her. One is nocturnal—dump her. One likes the room to be one hundred and three degrees—dump her. One is like Chad Johnson on “The Bachelorette”—you know what to do.

The list goes on and on. Then, you finally narrow it down to two (which, since I’ve referred to “The Bachelorette” three times, you’re basically stuck between Robby and Jordan). This is okay, though, because both of them are super cool, fun, and your parents will love them, which is important when finding a roommate. Since you can’t decide between the two, you have to mentally process lots of details about “the one,” your ideal roommate. Who will you have more fun with? Who will you get along better with? Who will watch Netflix with you at 2 am? Who will go to football games with you? Who will go study in the library with you? Who won’t totally tick you off every second of the day?

In the end, you’ve got to go with the one that you won’t see yourself marrying—errrr rooming with; you choose the one you can not see yourself not hitting over the head with your Keurig by mid-November.

Thankfully for me, and hopefully every other freshman out there, you found the coolest roommate you could’ve ever imagined that is going to support you, be there for you and go to Krispy Kreme with you when the “Hot Donuts Now” sign is glowing.

I sure have and I am very thankful for it!
