1060 days ago I moved into my first college dorm.
My roommate already had her stuff in our room but she wasn't there. I was SO nervous. I had never lived with girls before and I didn't even really get along with girls. I remember looking at her closet where her Twilight calendar was hanging and thinking to myself, oh no I hope this works out. Earlier in the summer we emailed each other a little and I found out we were complete opposites. I liked kids, she didn't, I didn't like animals, she loved animals, I didn't read, she had tons of books, I love sports and she didn't really play a ton of sports. But I guess you can say opposites attract!
1059 days ago Sage walked into our room and we didn't say a word to each other. I didn't know what to say and I could tell she was a little sad from leaving her family. After the first day we became best friends. The first week of school was orientation so we went to all the activities together. That first week all the sorority girls try to get girls to join their sorority, so they walk around asking if you want to tour the houses and blah blah blah. Well they wouldn't stop asking so we finally went. We made up fake names and acted like complete fools haha and the girls at the different sorority houses would always ask how long we have known each other. When we said we met this week they were completely shocked. My freshman year would not have been the same without her. We ate together, studied together, went to games together, watched marathons of Americas Next Top Model together, and we even took naps together. After that first year we decided we HAD to live together.
Sage is one of my best friends. She has always been there for me. There was a joke our freshman year where people said "when you date one, you date the whole apartment" I am not gonna lie, that was kind of true haha Sage was always good at giving me boy advice and there are a few times that I didn't listen and later regretted it...squinty beady eyes!! haha She held me through my tears, danced with me when we were excited, watched me make a fool of myself and never let me forget it, and screamed out the window with me when we were angry. When you get us together sometimes we can be a hand full but I swear its totally worth it :)
We have some really fun photos of times that we were suppose to be studying and got sick of it. We dressed like nerds( shown on the right), we taped our nose to our forehead, and even gave ourselves mustaches. We quickly learned that we can't go to bed at the same time or else we will end up going to sleep way later than planned. She always blames me and says that I start the talking but I promise you that she starts it sometimes too. We found out that we like to talk to each other so much that we even sleep talk to each other. There have been a several occasions that one of us has woken up talking to the other.
We have 301 pictures together on facebook. Those don't include the ones we think we look gross in, the ones that may be a bit embarrassing, or even the ones we thought to be a little weird haha We found ourselves so entertaining that we even filmed ourselves a few times. You can't really find those anywhere unless you ask me about it haha they are too crazy/weird/random/ridiculous to put up on the internet.
Next year we may not live together but I am sure we will continue to make wonderful memories together. I will miss our pillow talking, eating together and listening to music while we get ready in the morning but we will live right down the street and already have plans to hang out hopefully once a week. If you ever want to have fun or have movie quoting contest call Sage.
Sage: Thank you for all the fun times we have shared together. We have made so many memories and I know I will never forget them. You have been my best friend and I am so glad we became roommates. I don't think it was be chance, I know Heavenly Father put you in my life for a reason. I hope that we will always stay close, even when we are old and grey. I know that you are going to do many great things in your life and know that I will always be there for you.
Tomorrow July 22 is Sage's birthday. This is for you HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAGE!! Love you to death girl!!
