Hey future roommates,

I say roommates because I won't have just one of you, I will have three. Which was difficult for me to comprehend last year because growing up, I only had one sister that I had to share a living space with. This past year, I started the school year off with four roommates who by the time spring semester came around, I had just one roommate left in a four person apartment. I became fairly close with her and we stayed up until almost 4 am most nights just talking about life and anything that crossed our mind. It was like living the dream. I didn't have to share a bathroom, although the apartment got kind of lonely with only two of us there, it was one of the best semesters of my life.

First of all, this is going to be the BEST year of my life living with you guys. This semester, I will be living in an apartment with three other girls or who I like to call my best friends. I can't wait for the semester to start because living with you guys is going to be so much fun. Yes, I know college is about being successful in your studies, but it's also about creating new traditions with the ones you live with. My favorite college experiences so far have been spending time with my you guys but now you are my future roommates and I have to deal with all of your guys' craziness 24/7. We've had so many unforgettable laughs at 2 AM, and I can't wait to have more within this next year. We've had so many late night homework sessions where we end up talking or dancing around the living room and getting no homework done. Prepare for more of those kinds of nights in your near future. I can't wait for all of the unforgettable 2 AM memories that I have coming my way. Just sitting with you guys in the living room, having funny conversations or playing cards against humanity, are some of the best college memories that I have. Should I mention our random road trips driving around town blasting music and singing our lungs out? Or going to Orlando to go to Disney Springs or Universal Studio's City Walk to just walk around and take pictures? By the way, there will be more of those laid back kind of nights happening in our apartment and more road trips as well.

Remember when we would talk about our futures and what we want to do after we graduate? Where we want to live, about our weddings and what we want our wedding dress to look like. These are the memories that I am going to miss the most when I graduate college. Get prepared for more of my dumb jokes that I tell and my random outbursts of dancing. I can't wait to be living with my best friends and going through yet another school year with these ladies by my side. You are beautiful people and I am so blessed to have had the privilege to meet you and have you walk next to me on this journey I call life. Cheers to you girls. This year is going to be so much fun.

I love you guys.

Your roomie,

Rach
