Hey roomies,
It’s safe to say we’ve had a pretty interesting year. We’ve laughed, cried, argued, yelled, and even stolen each other’s food. But although the past two semesters have been a roller coaster for each of us, we went through it together. Some of my best memories of this school year took place in our apartment, and for that I will forever be thankful.
Move-in day was hectic not only for us, but for our parents as well. Little by little we began to make our apartment, our home. We bought new paintings, lamps, furniture, curtains, rugs, and a coffee table for our living room. But of course, our home wouldn’t be complete without our 4 coffee makers. I’m glad I found roommates who love coffee as much as I do. I’m also glad ya’ll waited until last minute to buy your school supplies, because so did I.
The day before our first day of school we shared our schedules to figure out if we could ride to school together. We were all a little afraid of beginning junior year of college, but none of us wanted to admit it. The first few weeks of first semester were lonely ones for all of us. We didn’t know much about each other and we weren’t used to each other’s way of living. Our rooms became our escape. But as time passed, we became more comfortable around each other. As time passed, we learned each other’s personalities and pet peeves. We became aware of each other’s busy schedules, but chose to spend time together regardless of how many tests we had to study for.
Second semester started with some bumpy roads. Since we each have such different personalities, it became hard for us to be there for each other during the tough times. But somehow, we found a way to walk over every speed bump on the road. We found that there’s nothing a movie and wine night can’t cure. We also found that every tear we cried is a part of life. But the most important lesson we learned this year was: don’t waste your time crying over boys, they’re not worth it.
Thank you guys for helping me grow. Thank you for putting up with my annoying and loud self. Thank you for listening to Justin Bieber really loud while drinking wine with me. Each of you hold such a special place in my heart. Even though I may not show my emotions at times, please know that I love you dearly. There is nothing I would change about the past year because you made it perfect. Thank you for teaching me that pain is temporary and joy is just around the corner. I wish the best for you in your next home and I hope your new roommates will love you as much as I do! I’ll be five minutes way, so call me any time.
Love,
Your roommie
