After experiencing my first year of college I learned a lot about myself and about others. Living with roommate taught me so much especially since me and my roommate are complete opposites.
Starting off neither one of us had lived in this situation before. Sharing our personal space with someone who was basically a stranger was really hard for us. We both came from the same hometown, but we went to revival high schools. We met each other almost six months before school actually started. We automatically clicked even though we are so different.
The first couple of months was a learning experiences for us. even though we were very comfortable around each other we were trying to figure out college. We were both really happy to be in college and to be at Spring Hill College. Our first semester we had classes together, which gave us a different setting to figure each other out in.
We went through our fair share of disagreements, good times, and bad times. We had each others backs through thick and thin. We were there for each other when it came to academic, social, or any other problem that came up we were there for one another. The top five things that we learned our first year were:
- Be open minded, live your life.
- Learn how to do laundry before freshman year. (My roommate learned from me)
- Talk to people. (everyone, if you are shy start with the people in your dorm)
- Don't get in a relationship your freshman year. (enjoy your youth)
- Don't eat when you are bored. (take this one from us we did a lot of eating for fun)
Overall, we both realized that no matter what happened during our year we were meant to meet each other and be roommates. We not only walked away from the school year as roommates, but we became sisters.
