Deciding to go to school in Georgia after living in Illinois my whole life, I knew my roommate would be a stranger. I had heard so many stories about random roommates who didn’t get along and just really didn’t have a good experience so I was pretty scared. Living on your own and with someone other than your family for the first time is a big deal! I couldn’t see how an online profile could successfully match you. Despite my worries about it working I went for it.
It was the best decision I could have made.
I put my trust into the random roommate selector, and it gave me so much in return. From day one we have had a bond that is so special, and starting out as strangers is what made it possible. We came into this new chapter of our lives without knowing what to expect, and got to figure out lots of things together. We have made mistakes, and had a few challenges, but getting to know who she is has shown me what kind of person I would like to be. My roommate has become one of my very best friends.
She is always there for me whenever I need it, and I cannot thank her enough for that. We laugh together (and I mean A LOT), dance/sing together (she only makes fun of my dancing sometimes), we share everything (mainly I get to borrow all her cute clothes) and she is always down to watch a good movie. There’s no one else out there like the girl I get to call my roomie, and I am blessed to have her in my life.
So here is my thank you to the device that brought us together. I get to be apart of the lucky group who adores their roommate, and I am forever thankful for that.
