i am sitting in the library right now and realized i forgot to finish my last blog. i was mentioning the great time i have had this year and what a great decision it was for me to live with friends this year, although it has been a lot harder. one of my roommates in particular (*coughcough*) keeps reminding me that the end of the year is drawing closer and with it some of my roommates college careers are also drawing to a close...instead of dwelling in sadness and regret of things not done i figured this blog would be a way for me to make record of the great people i had a chance to share life with for one year of my life...
1. Roommate Round Two = Kaelyn Elizabeth Petras
this year i had a chance to live with kae for a second time in our college lives. the first being when we met as suite mates freshman year in good ol Lyman Briggs/Holmes Hall. we survived crazy roommate experiences freshman year and ended the year switching into one room together while both our roommates were gone for the weekend...oops...
i love kaelyn because of the trials our friendship has survived. we come from very different backgrounds and have a lot of different viewpoints, but somehow we have remained friends. after freshman year bringing us closer because of the crazy people we were surrounded by, sophomore year served to challenge our friendship because both of us were alone in our living situations...as weird as it sounds. we were both dealing with hard things and feeling the effects of being alone. we decided to live together this year though and thank God for that...
kae is a wise and relaxed person. when she is excited about something everyone knows it. when something weird/gross/abnormal happens, kaelyn knows and then so do the rest of us...she has a way of slicing any awkwardness in a situation and getting to the point. i think her best line of advice throughout our friendship has been "stop overthinking everything". she has taught me to relax and she has been a testament to me of the fact that God's will causes everything to work for good...taking classes together since freshman year we both aim for something beyond MSU and it has been tough for both of us to get there...after heartbreak, kae found that where there is a will there is a way and she is confident that she will reach her goals. kae causes me to believe in something better and never lets me settle for something she knows i won't be happy with.
next year will be weird. kae graduates in the winter and will move to St. Kit's in the Caribbean to go to vet school and pursue her dream. it will be weird not to be with her and her family on her birthday...it will be weird not to hear her random facts and stories...i will miss kaelyn a lot. she probably wouldn't think it, but she has definitely been a great part of who i am today.
I LOVE YOU KAE!
