Meet my roomie!

These are pictures of roommate Katrina and me. We met when we were both here for a scholarship competition. We talked online for a while and then started talking about all the “big questions” you would want to know before rooming with someone. It seemed like we would be compatible so we decided to be roommates. As it turns out, we get along great! We turned into best friends. It’s really weird, even after a week, we would sit here talking as if we had been friends for years. I was a little bit nervous about living in a dorm since I am an only child. It worked out fine for Trina and I. We hang out together all the time. Basically, we are inseparable. I have seen some roommates like this and I have watched some problems emerge for other people. One girl went home for the weekend and later found out there was a party in her room and a few couples may have ended up on her bed. Needless to say, she switched roommates. There is an RA on each floor (an upperclassmen that kind of controls the floor). They are wonderful and are very helpful whenever you have a problem. We also have an RD, resident director, in the building that is a grown man living in a 4 room apartment. His full time job is solely to take care of the problems in our building. Both the RA and RD will help anyone having problems with a roommate. It seems like the majority of people do not have many problems. They may not be best friends, but they get along just fine. As long as you are a descent person, your roommate should be too. It seems like communication and courtesy may be the key. I live in Centennial, which is an all girls building. It is connected to booth, which is co-ed. I love my building! Everyone is friendly, for the most part. It is a calm place to live, not to mention in smells *much* better than anywhere there are guys, haha.
