BACKGROUND INFO: This is
currently my junior year of college. I started out my first year and half at a
community college, then I finally *upgraded to one of my dream schools. Being
my first semester away from home, I got put with a random roommate... I didn't
know a soul at this school, but that's what I wanted. My roommate ended up
moving back home, so I got the room to myself for the first two months, goals,
but then housing made everyone get a roommate or pay extra for a private
room... sike. So I got a new random down the hall. My emotions were everywhere,
I couldn't go back, but I was really excited. It's like a guaranteed friend, right?
God was definitely on my side when it came to this, He blessed me with my first
roommate, and she wasn't a psycho. She was a senior, so it was kind of
like a "big sister" type deal. She showed me the ropes. She was
there to take care of me. We might not have been "close" but I loved
living with her. But since she was a senior, it was back to the random
drawing... I couldn't do that. To all of my college readers, you know about
Yik-Yak, right? The anonymous college based app that connects to the closest college
near you. My school revolves around Yik-Yak. Why am I bringing this up? Because
that is where I met my current roommate... sketchy? yes. funny? yes.
successful? yes! Now, let's talk about roommates. A roommate, in a dorm
like mine, is someone you share a tiny room with. Is that all? No. You
share your whole life with! You are with this person almost 24'7, you have to
make the best of it... in my situation, my roommate is my best friend. We are
inseparable. We started like that too, from texting and calling all
summer to the first day we moved in, we continue to get closer and
closer by the day! We are probably the same person. We wake up, go to
class, come back in between classes to hang, go to more classes, come back
at the end of the day, hang out, go eat together, shower at the same time
(while hitting on the wall to each other in code to still talk, guilty), then
go to bed at the same time. But when you are roommates with someone, that
is your family. Aubry is definitely my family. And I am hers. We know anything
about everything in each others lives. When you are roommates with
someone, you become their guardian. Aubry is definitely my guardian. And I am
hers. We've got the facial expressions down pat when a f-boi comes in hot,
we've got the phone call down to bail us out of awkward situations, we've even
got the code for any type of situation needed. A roommate is a friend for life,
and Aubry is that. I am forever grateful for her. You're supposed to meet your
"brides maid" in college, right? WELL HERE I AM AUBS!!!! (and Alex) *as Aubry literally just said
"we hate everyone but each other, right Macy?!".....true* When you live with someone, you
are accustom to their habits, quirks, fears, ambitions, and beliefs. Though you
two are completely different people- whether you know it or not, whether you
mean to or not, you become each other in some form. You can say you do
this with other best friends, but when you are living someone, it's
completely different. When you are broken, they are the first ones to pick up
the pieces. When something great happens, they are the first ones you tell.
It's a soulmate... maybe more of a soulmate than your significant other...
actually, I know its more of one. I have gone through so much lately, on and
off, and I know Aubry has as well, but I honestly don't know where I would be
without her being here when I come home. I can always count on her getting a
girls night ready, even though a roommate is like having a girls night every
night. I can count on her to be ready to cuddle at any point of the day, and
when I cuddle, I mean cuddle. I can count on her to remind me to take my medicine
when she can tell I didnt take it. I can always count on her to tell me
she loves me before we go to sleep or leave for the day! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,
CUPCAKE!!!
