Together not Alone

Before my college experience I was really nervous about having a roommate. Since I never knew who my actual roommate was going to be I could not stop thinking about the nightmares I hear. People would always tell me bad stories about having a horrible roommate. This did not make me feel any better. Eventually, I ended up finding out who my roommate was. Her name was Jaquie. We talked for a couple weeks before school and we seemed to have gotten along pretty well. When school started Jaquie only stayed for a week. She ended up going back to Long Island and I was left with no roommate.

At first I was excited because I did not have to worry about the bad experiences and situations I could have dealt with. I also I did not get the feeling like everyone else. I met many people on campus who were close to their roommate. I wish I had that experience. Soon enough I ended up getting asked if someone can room with me. I thought this was a great idea. I now have a roommate named Robyn and I can not ask for a better one. We get along just fine and I have no problem sharing anything. I thought this was going to be an issue, but having a roommate is not as bad as everyone says it is. We not only have the opportunity to share our college experience together, but we developed a strong friendship as well. Which allows me to work well outside of my comfort zone since I never had to share a room with anyone before.
