How Do You Measure A Year In The Life?
I know, I know, I haven't updated in like forever and a half, but I'm going to change that right now :-)
It's Tuesday, the day after a long Columbus day weekend. The first month of school came and went so quickly, it's hard to believe. Last year, it seemed like Columbus Day wouldn't come fast enough. Then this amazing thing happened on Columbus Day weekend last year: my college life changed completely, and all for the better! I was changing rooms, getting out of a bad rooming situation, and needed another roommmate. I remembered talking with this girl Meg during Freshman retreat about our bad roomie situations and she seeemed really nice, we had similar interests- choir, campus ministry, etc. I left her an email asking if she wanted to room together, praying that she would! Then, at the CHS football game Columbus day, I was hanging out w/ my friends from home, telling them about how bad school was. Then I got a voicemail... "Hi megan, this is Meg Ryan from PC: I'd love to be your roommate! I'm so excited!" That Tuesday, the day after a long Columbus Day weekend, we were in our new room: Ray215. Everything seemed to get better from that moment on. I became closer friends with Ali, Willow moved in, we met Chris Kelly, I introduced Ali to Chris Kelly ;-) Oh, and I missed the RIPTA for the American Studies field trip, meaning I had to take a later bus, and I sat next to steve, and the AMS dream team was born.
So today's entry is a shoutout to Meg Ryan, my other half! Here's where I throw out every inside joke I can think of, SCs, NKOTB dance parties, Breaking Bonaduce, I luv the 90s part Deux, BEAUTIFUL SOUL!, Nemo rugs, Big AL, MAMBO, CCWBTMASABU or whatever ur facebook group is, MMMbop, BRITNEY'S CHRISTMAS SONG!, OC, HEADLINES, Clarissa Explains it All, Dawson's Creek (you know you love it), GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, and who could forget... YOU AND YOU AND ME, TOGETHER WE MAKE 3!
so if any of you guys are freshmen and having a hard time figuring out your niche, its not that absurd. You will make friends, it takes time for everyone :-) look at what a difference a year makes :-)
