Nowadays social media controls the lives of all accepted college students. Join your class page today! Get connected! Once everyone has committed, the fun begins. It is now the time to find either the complete stranger or your best friend from home as the person you will stay in a teeny tiny room with for a whole school year. That is a tough decision to make, especially for indecisive teenagers. So should I try to reach out to people on the class page? Or should I make a RoomSurf account? Eh, maybe I will just suck it up and go random.

After reading through biography after biography (which they were all the same), "I am clean, want to go to the gym every day, love Netflix, and I wake up early," I kinda got bored... That is when I decided to make a biography, just to see if anyone would reach out, and no one did. So back to square one I went. I have heard the horror stories of going random, and I was kind of afraid, but I have also heard great stories so I still didn't know what I wanted to do. Fifty-Fifty shot right?

Man, was going random the best decision of my freshman year of college! I could not have asked for a better roommate. Yes, she is clean, loves Netflix, and occasionally wants to go to the gym, but so do I. She enjoys the things I enjoy, she laughs at the things I laugh at, she shares my major, she has the same friend group as me, plus we binge watch Netflix. What more could a girl want, right?

Yes, people have told me, "Roommates don't have you be your best friends, you just have to co-exist with them and respect each other." Well guess what, she has become my best friend. The luck of the draw did me well, and I completely recommend it to all incoming college freshman. Life is a gamble, why not take a shot? You may end up with a life long friend.
