Senior year of high school I decided to go to a university away from home. Because I chose a college that hardly anyone from my high school attended I was pretty much forced to check the random roommate box on my housing application.
A couple months passed after sending in my housing application and I get an email of who my random roommate was going to be. Of course (with my girl talents) found her social media account in no time and started creeping. Now the assumptions started about who my random roommate might be.
This girl's avi was her holding a fish in a cameo hat and shirt...what did I get myself into. So I creeped a little more and realized that aside from holding a dead fish up in her avi she seemed normal. We exchanged numbers and discussed who would bring what.
August rolls around and it's move in day. The first night and we already were becoming great friends! She introduced me to the greatness of eating raw cookie dough and we share our love for Chic-Fil-A. Lots of late night netflixing, study sessions, ranting about professors, having many break downs then having to pull each other back together. I'm so thankful for my random roommate becoming one of the best friends. We became such great friends that we even roomed together again this year!
College is the time where you find yourself and figure out who you want to be. College is also the time where you find life long friends. You struggle through finding yourself and taking on the crazy stress.
