AW: She has taught me that fruit is good! Seriously, she has about five fruit bowls, and her fresh produce never goes bad. She loves eating fruits and veggies, and truly inspires me to live a healthier life. She loves to dance, and is constantly humming or singing some oldies song. Her love of music is contagious. AW gives the best hugs, and is so loving and kind. She adores babies and does this absolutely hilarious baby voice that we all try to imitate but can never quite capture. Her vintage style and quirky sense of humor keep us all laughing, and I will forever aspire to be like her.
ET: Cute little E is amazing. She has taught be to be punctual, in all things. She is energized, efficient, and focused. She loves to run, and is constantly doing what she is supposed to. I rarely see her waste time or slacking off. Her style is impeccable, and even though she laments her short hair, she looks beautiful with it long or short. She is funny and sweet, and very reverent. I love her so much and will try to take her energy with me on my mission.
ST: This girl is amazing. She's my opposite in some ways, but that's good, because I learn so much from her. She is bold, loud, and unapologetic. She says what's on her mind, and doesn't just sit around trying to guess what other people are thinking. She can also give great advice. That's the biggest thing I'll take away from her. If a conversation needs to be had, just say what needs to be said! She loves drama and theater, and has taught me to be passionate about what you do. I've also learned that it's okay to take long naps, indulge in netflix, and tell potty jokes like a six year old boy. Life is fun and loud and exciting.
KB: Okay, KB may be the sweetest girl on the face of the planet. She's so Christlike and caring. All she tries to do is to lift other people up and to be strong. She has her fair share of struggles, but she is truly a light in our apartment. (All of my roommates are!) K is hilarious and fun to be around. She's lovely and kind and so spiritual. From her, I've learned that a home can truly feel like the temple. We've met her family and visited her home, and I've never felt the spirit so strong in someone's house before. You can really tell how much her family cares about each other and how well her parents have taught her.
MW: M is my actual "room roommate," and man, is she amazing. She moved her from California, and has had to adjust to college life, culture shock, as well as dealing with some personal issues. Through it all, she remains bright, bubbly, and passionate about life! I love her more than words can say. She's stylish, kind, nonjudgmental, loving, and all around inspirational. She's talented, and more than anyone else, has changed the way I view the world. She has taught me to be more open-minded and adventurous. I will forever be grateful that I got to be friends with her.
I'm going to be leaving in just a few weeks once Fall Semester finishes up. It's such a weird thought to think I will be moving out and leaving these wonderful ladies behind. But I know that I'm supposed to go on my mission, and I know that each of them has helped prepare me for my mission, in a way. I'm so grateful that we were able to click and bond in the way that we did, I know that doesn't happen for all roommates. I know that Heavenly Father puts people in our lives for a reason, and that meeting my roommates has influenced my life so much. Apartment 1217 Girls Forever!!
