So some people are lucky and choose to go to the same college as their best friend, room with them, and live life. However, if you're like me, you chose to go to a college where that just isn't an option and you get a random roommate. Yes, random. You have no idea who she is, what she likes, nothing. Scary, right? You have no idea. As soon as I got my roommate assignment and found out her name and hometown, I did some Facebook stalking! ;) Besides what my mom found out (I'm pretty sure she did a background check), I learned a lot about my roommate. Well, at least I thought I did.

Scrolling through her Facebook page, I see several things that make me look twice. I get completely freaked out. I see weird stuff left and right and I'm just thinking to myself "WHY ME?" Ya know the feeling?? Probably not, but one day you will. Anyways, me being the straight-forward person I am, I add her as a friend and begin asking questions. My first question was probably the most important and the one that she still makes fun of me for, "Are you into witch craft??" Yes I asked her this. I truly felt like I needed to know the answer because I really was not looking forward to coming to college to get strands of my hair tested at night. Y'all, I was totally scared of what could have happen. Thankfully, she said no and laughed for days after. Next, silly me decides to ask another rather personal question, this one being the one I was most embarrassed by because I truly am not a judgmental person but there really isn't a nice way to ask this, so I ask and I quote... "What gender are you into?" I know, you're speechless right now right? I was pretty ashamed also, but again, I felt as though I deserved to know. So she goes on to tell me, "I am bisexual." BAM. First thing that popped into my head was-nothing. I was speechless. No, I didn't and still don't care but it honestly caught me by surprise.

So here I am now, i get all my stuff together for college, I move in feeling a bit sketchy but I'm keeping an open mind because that's just who I am, and I survive the first day. I see that she is pretty normal. Don't get me wrong, she is extremely different in her own way but she turned out to be great. She is honestly, hands down, the funniest person I have ever met in my life. When I'm having a bad day, she makes me laugh; when she's having a bad day, she makes me laugh. I truly laugh the entire time I'm around her. I have managed to introduce her to all of my friends and guess what-- they all love her too!! Y'all, I'm telling you right now, I got blessed with this one. I can honestly sit here and say, even with all of our differences, I see an amazing friendship brewing up. Just a sidenote, she has an obsession with coffee, so that little pun I did was hysterical.

Anyways, to end this wonderful article, please keep this in mind. No matter how strange you're random roommate might seem, there is ALWAYS something positive in everyone. Don't give up on them, literally everyone deserves a chance. Who I was once kind of afraid of, will one day be a very close friend of mine!! Shoutout out to my froomie because she has no idea I'm writing this. LOVE YA.
