senior reflection #2

For my second senior reflection I thought I'd talk about finding a roommate for college. It's sweet once you've decided where you're going to college, and then people say the fun part begins! Searching for a roommate, finding stuff for your room, etc. Honestly, I haven't found any of these parts fun yet. I just find them stressful. A lot of people I know just go random for roommates, but I've heard of a lot of people who have gotten stuck with terrible roommates and I don't want to be one of those unlucky people so I'm trying to find one in advance.. and it's terrible. I feel so creepy. I've tried finding people on uroomsurf.com (roommate finder website) and Facebook, and feel like the biggest creep messaging these girls. And most of the time they don't even respond, or some respond and say they already have a roommate. This really brings down your self esteem after a while. Or the girls that do respond, I just don't like them that much. And if I do think they seem alright, I have to be extra creepy and ask them so many questions about them to try to get to know them to see if we'd get along. Now literally like 5 minutes ago, this girl I've been messaging just asked me to be her roommate. I'm not sure what I'm going to say. I'm going to wait a little bit and think about it and then respond to her. Virginia Tech has soo many people, I feel like I should easily be able to find a perfect roommate for me! Hopefully I'll end up with a good one!
