I think everyone is weary of having their first college roommate. I know I was nervous! I thought I had to be my roommate's absolute BEST friend. I thought we had to hang out with each other every second of the day. I was wrong. That stuff doesn't always happen. I think my freshman year roommate, Violet, and I have become closer friends as of now (our junior year) rather than when we lived together. I'm so glad we became roommates three years ago. I decided to write this article about Violet because a) she asked me to write an article about her, and b) it's almost her birthday! Violet, here are some of the reasons why I am so glad we became roommates and friends!
1. You have the most interesting, random life ever. I love hearing about it.
2. The most outrageous things happen to you...
3. But you still keep a smile on your face.Â
4. You bought me a cute mug from TJMaxx just because.
5. You send the best snaps of you just being you (silly).Â
6. You introduced me to different teas.Â
7. You sometimes buy me coffee.Â
8. You get stressed out just like me, so I don't feel alone.Â
9. We had a Greatest Showman concert in your car.Â
10. You actually make an effort to hang out with me!Â
11. You were an awesome roomie!Â
12. Even when you're having a bad day, you're always there for everyone else.Â
13. You were mad because you didn't get to see me cry my eyes out watching the plane crash episode of Grey's Anatomy.Â
14. You visited one of my go-to coffee shops with me on your way home!
15. You're not afraid to be real with people.Â
16. You give amazing hugs!Â
If you know Violet, I'm sure you'd agree with me on these things. Violet, I love you, friend! You're the best. I hope you like your article all about you. Happy Birthday!
