Hey roomie,
Can I just say how terrified I was about going random? Everyone was giving me their horror stories about their college roommates and I thought I was going to end up with someone crazy. Looking back, I could not have ended up with a better roommate.
I think the craziest thing about it all was that we actually met before we even knew we were roommates. What are the odds that we both went to registration on the same day! I wasn't even supposed to go on the day I had chosen. My mom made me change the day so she could get off work and come with.
When I found your Instagram, I won't lie, I was nervous because first off you were gorgeous! And super athletic? To be honest I was really apprehensive about how we would end up getting along because we didn't seem to have very much in common, and wow was I in for a pleasant surprise!
We started planning out what we wanted to bring, and I could tell both of us were feeding off the others' excitement about getting up to school. I am so sorry you had to spend a day alone when we moved in! Blame my mom for making me move in a day late, but you got me back at the end of the year by moving out early!
As the school year went on, we both started to open up about our lives outside of the dorm, and I am so happy that we were able to be there for each other. Be that stressing over an exam or complaints about how the people "helping" on a group project really weren't helping we were able to vent and share stories from the day.
I don't know about you, but it really helped that you were in the same boat as me major wise. Both of us having been undecided made it easier to take to you about where I was with making a decision and where I wanted to go. There wasn't any pressure or bias on what I should choose because you were still choosing too!
It's crazy to think about how much we have in common. Especially the little things, from what TV shows we like to watch, to how we like to make our spaghetti! Both of us even forgot to take our contacts out almost every night! Thankfully one of us would usually remember, but I wish we had before I climbed into my lofted bed.
I just wish we had more time to live together. Going into our next year, it feels weird to think that I will not be coming back from class to see you studying or that we will not get our late-night movie marathons whenever we want.
I also want to apologize for how cluttered I was. I think the only reason you never killed me was that I kept everything on my side of the room! You were always so organized I always felt bad. I would think 'I need to organize my desk' and then after class, I would have completely forgotten. I was so proud of myself whenever I finally managed to organize everything. I think you described it all as organized chaos because I always knew where everything was!

My one regret from our freshman year has to be not getting to know you sooner. I wish I had stayed in instead of studying away from the dorm more often because then we would have become friends a lot sooner!
The last few weeks of school you and I really hit it off and I will always remember sitting in our room at one in the morning, the night before you went home, crying over the series finale of Vampire Diaries. Just know, I will invade your apartment so we can watch the originals next year!
From boy gossip to homemade microwave dinners, to trying not to wake the other one up as we came and went for whatever reason, I cannot think of a better person to have lived with all year. Also, I just want to let you know how excited I am that we have been talking about rooming together over the summer and even during senior year!
It would be so cool to start off our four years and end them together. Thank you so much for being a wonderful roommate and I hope we get to do it again soon!
