To My New Roommates Come August,
I want to start by thanking you for taking care of me last year. Either it is from needing to take a quick trip to Walmart, wanting to go get food, or even taking me to the health center on campus from all the times I was sick (let's hope my immune system is ready for this next year and we don't have a repeat). You were willing for anything.
In August, we will be moving into a sorority house with 80+ other girls and the four of us in a little room. Because tension might get high at sometimes, I want to make you a few promises and I hope you're willing to make the same.
The first, when something is bothering one of us, we tell each other. I may be good at reading the vibes people send off, but none of us are mind readers (well, not that I know of). We can't/won't fix what we don't know is wrong. Since it is such a small space, we are going to have to work on it together.
The second, I promise to bring the least amount of drama possible. We will be living with 80+ girls, there will be drama, let's just try to make sure it's not between us.
Third, I promise, I will be checking up on you if you aren't back by the time you say you will be. Maybe it's just the mom friend in me, but if you say you're going to be home by midnight and you aren't, I can promise that by 12:10 you'll have a message checking up on you.
Fourth, if you wake me up to go get breakfast I'll go, I just might complain. It might not appear like it when you're in the process of waking me up early on a Saturday, but I do (somewhat) enjoy waking up and going for breakfast.
Fifth, I will always be up for an adventure. If it's going to McDonald's after a chapter meeting or at insane hours (Lauren already knows), I'm down. Need an outfit for a date/interview/anything? I'll go with. Even if it's going to the library to get some studying down, I'll go. I hate going places by myself so I will for sure be ready to go anywhere with anyone.
Sixth, if you're sick, I will probably mom you. We are decently away from our parents so I will be making sure you took your medicines, that your fever is gone, or drive you to the doctor. If you don't want me to, I'll try my best to not worry, but secretly I will be.
I am so excited to move in with you guys in less than 2 months. I cannot wait for this semester to bring us even closer together and to build our friendships strong.
See you in August,
Your New Roommate
