YOU’VE NEVER MET YOUR ROOMMATE… BUT LIVE TOGETHER.
Follow us for more authentic glimpses into campus life and beyond!
Remember that email, the one with an unfamiliar name, the only clue to the person who would share your 10x12 world for an entire year? You packed your hopes and anxieties, arrived on campus, and unlocked a door to a complete stranger’s half-unpacked life. It was a baptism by fire, wasn't it? That initial, silent assessment: what kind of sleeper are they? Are those textbooks for real? Will we even speak?
The dorm room became a laboratory of human behavior. You navigated the unspoken rules of shared space, from alarm clock etiquette to the mysterious disappearance of your favorite mug. Maybe you discovered their secret talent for late-night philosophical rants, or perhaps their inexplicable collection of vintage action figures. Amidst the intense deadlines and all-nighters, this forced cohabitation often became an unexpected cornerstone of your unique academic journey.
This wasn't just about sharing a room; it was about sharing a pivotal life chapter. You learned about compromise, about boundaries, and sometimes, about forming an unlikely bond with someone you might never have chosen. It taught you adaptability and resilience, skills that extend far beyond the ivy-covered walls. These are the unsung stories, the subtle lessons shaping who we become, long after graduation.
