This week I am grateful for: My Roommate, Emily Egbert (aka Ariel)
Emily is like my mother up here at BYU. I think Heavenly Father knew I’d need some kind of maternal figure in my life, so he spared one of his best to room with me. The very first week of school I was still in high school/summer mode and wasn’t doing my homework. It’s not that I wasn’t turning in my work, I was just procrastinating the night before my first assignment was due. So she printed out the assignment, gave it to me along with a pen and highlighter, and told me I had to do it. She is my mother. Fortunately, I adapted to the college workload and kicked my procrastination habit for the most part. There are still a few assignments that have kept me up late the night before they were due...
But Emily is the perfect roommate and best friend! We never fight, she makes me work out with her (the resulting incredibly sore muscles are both a good and bad thing), and I can talk to her about anything. She is also so much fun! We have impromptu dance parties, chick flick movie nights, and can laugh about anything. I could not have asked for a better roommate and I’m glad she deals with me. I even get love notes on my desk or our door every so often! She is the very best and I am so grateful for her and her love.
We were Ariel and Pocahontas for Halloween <3
Awww Sammy! I love you so much! Now as your mother, I say that you have to start sleeping! Okay? okay.
ReplyDeleteThat's so fortunate that you got a good roomie! I did too, but I heard stories of my sisters' psychotic roommates. Whew! close call haha
ReplyDeleteThis inspired me... I might go write a post about my roommate now, haha. It's great when you get stuck with an awesome roommate! But like Andrea said, I've heard horror stories... I think we're the lucky ones.
