Assignment #12 - Haley Noehren - Finding a New Friend (Hopefully)

I am both nervous and excited to find a roommate for college. I definitely hope that they are hardworking and can help me stay focused. I also hope that they are a little more outgoing than I am, so that they can push me to be more social. When I meet my roommate, I hope that they have a sense of humor, or can at least make me laugh. I will not survive college living with someone who has a dry sense of humor or lacks a bit of sarcasm in their life. That being said, I don't expect my roommate to be perfect. I want my roommate to be my friend - someone I can talk to and laugh with. Someone who can mutually complain with me about the struggles of school. I'll take what I can get with a roommate, but it would be even more awesome if they shared a love for hiking and running. It would be amazing to have someone to go camping, backpacking, running, or hiking with. But like I've said before, I have no idea what my roommate will be like, so I'll have to embrace whoever I get. At the bear minimum I hope that we can tolerate each other. After spending my days studying and attending classes I want to be able to come back to my dorm and be able to relax and enjoy life. My roommate should know that I can get stressed about school, that I love to play board games, and that no matter the temperature outside I will go for a run to stay mentally sane. Hopefully my roommate won't hate me, and I won't hate her. Hopefully we can become friends and help each other in both the academic and social world. I can't wait to meet my future roommate, and hopefully she can't wait to meet me too.
