As the semester comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on all the events that occurred over the past five months. All the football games, the late night study sessions, the random dance parties in the living room, the spontaneous shopping trips, and all the celebrations over birthdays and boys!
The people I have to thank for making all of these moments so special and memories that I will remember forever are my lovely roommates. Five girls, one apartment. All from different cities, different backgrounds, and different tastes in shoes, but we make it work!
At first the thought of five girls with strong personalities was scary, and left me unease about how we were all going to live together for the next nine months. Well sophomore year came to a close, and we decided why not go for round two. I thought just one year together was great, but we only got closer as junior year was in session.
These are the girls I go to for any and everything. They are the first people I see in the morning and the last people I see at night, and I fill them in on just about everything that happens in between during the day. No matter what is going on in each other lives, we all make time to listen to each other through heartbreaks, a failed test, or even just embarrassing moments that take place on a daily basis.
Growing up I had an older brother, so the only other girl in the house was my mom. Although having your mom as a best friend, its nothing like having four roommates who are like sisters. Sister you share secretes and clothes with. I can't do either of those things with my mom.
Living with my four lovely roommates has been a true blessing, because I have gotten to know each of them on a different level. Yes we were all friends before living together, but once you live with someone you get to know them in a different light.
We have all seen each other on our worst days, and on our best days. The days were we celebrate and are there to crack open a bottle of champagne. And on the days where all things in the world have gone wrong, and on those days we open a bottle of something a little bit stronger. No matter the day we all have each others backs.
Its nice to know that I can come home everyday to people who truly love and care for me. These girls always have my best interest at heart, and are never afraid to let me know it. I never have to second guess anything, because I can go to any of my roommates and they always give me the best advice.
Thank you for being you, and reminding me everyday how luck I am to have you all in my life!
