Going into college, I didn’t really think that I would make a lot of friends. I figured I would continue to hangout with the same people from my high school. This changed dramatically. When I was looking for roommates, I didn’t want to room with someone that I already knew. It took me awhile to find someone who shared the same interests and similar personality as me. I finally found and messaged a girl that had everything I was looking for in a roommate. My roommates name is Anna. She is from the same area I am from. We instantly connected with each other. Rooming with Anna has been great so far. We have a great, honest friendship. Even though we don’t spend time with each other 24/7, we still spend a big chunk of time with each other. Anna and I share a lot of the same interests. Some of our favorite things we like to do together are working out, showing videos/pictures of our dogs, shopping, and doing skin care routines. By spending time together, and doing the things we love helps our friendship grow and stay positive. Through Anna, I have met numerous people at school. It is nice to have Anna as my roommate and friend because I know she will always be there for me. She always makes sure I am included and feel part of things. She has shown me to step out of my comfort zone and be myself. I am so grateful and blessed to be able to room with someone that shares laughs and makes memories with. Even though Anna and I are not rooming with each other next year, our friendship will remain close and we will always be friends no matter what. I have made a lifelong friend who will always and continue to make me happy.
