When I finally decided to come to SMU at the end of April, there were a number of things heavily weighing on my mind, the greatest being my roommate situation. Because the only girl I knew who was coming to school here was doing the Hilltop Scholars Program, I was left with no option but to sign up for a potluck roommate.
I spent the whole Summer praying and anticipating August 4th. This was the day that I would receive an email with the name of the girl I would be living with for the next nine months of my life. When that day finally came, I checked my mail at least ten times before I finally got the message. At six in the evening I found out her name, and like most people, immediately went to Facebook. We messaged back and forth for an hour or so, talking a little about ourselves and interests and how excited we were to be going to SMU. She seemed normal! The next two weeks flew by, and before I knew it, move-in day had arrived. We both met for the first time and immediately clicked. Since the first week of school we have gone to breakfast together every morning, and been almost inseparable. My fears of having a "random" roommate have definitely been surpressed, and even though I'm sure we'll have our spats, I am so fortunate to get to live with such a great friend. However, some people haven't been so lucky. I know girls who knew their roommate before even coming to school, and are having a major problem getting along. So I ask you, is your roommate a friend or a foe?
