Housemates To Sisters
There is nothing more intimidating than moving in with a group of girls whom you have never met. I think all of my housemates felt the same on move-in day. The initial thought of whether or not you would get along with all these girls remained in everyone’s head in the first few weeks. And may I say, we have come a long way since then. Me, two of my housemates, and our RA have found this special bond since last semester.
Over Christmas break, I thought that it would be nice to get away from the Cottage for a little while and be on my own back home. Boy, was I wrong! About halfway through break, I started to go crazy without having my girls around. It was especially hard when something during break would happen, and I didn’t have the same comfort I did at school. These girls have definitely had a big impact on my life.
Since we have returned from Christmas break, we have done nothing but grow closer and closer. We are so used to being around each other now, that we immediately notice if another girl is gone longer than they are supposed to be. We know where every girl is at just about every moment of the day. We have begun to develop sisterly instincts for one another. We are there for each other through the ups and the downs. People like this are impossible to replace.
I’m not sure what my freshman year would have been like without these girls. I am sure glad God has blessed me with them.
