To my College Program Roommates,
Four months ago we all moved away from our homes to start
this magnificent, yet terrifying journey called the Disney College Program. We
met up in Disney Springs the day before check-in and bubbled over with
excitement. We were so excited to start our journey and we thought nothing
could go wrong. Then check-in day happened and we were placed in a two bedroom
six-person apartment. This is where you all learned just how big of a diva I
can be. These past four months have had their fair share of ups and downs and
with that, I would like to say thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for putting up with my mood swings,
with me never being home, with my messy habits and my high maintenance
lifestyle. Thank you for holding me when I’m crying on the living room couch
because my schedule didn’t work out the way I needed it too when my family is
in town. Thank you for all the late night conversations that really help put
things in perspective.
Thank you for inviting me out, even if I’m lame and ruin the
evening and even when you know I’ll say no. Thank you for understanding that
some nights I just want to sit at home, and that’s okay.
Thank you for all the laughs we’ve shared. For all the nights
we’ve laid in bed unable to sleep and giggling our heads off. Thank you for the
random park trips. For all the times we’ve lost your car in the parking lot and
spent what seemed like forever trying to find it.
Thank you for the dating advice. I’m sorry if I ignore you
for my boyfriend. You are all equally important in my eyes and I feel horrible
that I’ve ever made you feel otherwise.
But most importantly thank you for changing my life. Four
months ago I moved away from home for the first time. But then I met you and I
knew I found my home away from home. I know we haven’t always had the smoothest
running operation here in the Babe Parade, but I wouldn’t change that for the
world. I know we fight, and things can sometimes seem tense, but at the end of
the day we’re all here for each other. Thank you for showing me that not all
roommates have to be awful. Thank you for making me laugh even when I want to
cry, and for caring too much. In just two short months, some of us will have to
say farewell. I’m not ready for that day, but I can rest a little easier
knowing that hopefully one day we can all meet again. Until then, thank you for
putting up with me and my drama. I know I’m not the easiest person to live
with, but I sure am lucky I get to live with you.
