Not only do we have an amazing story of how we met and became roommates, but because of how everything has played out, there's no way that it couldn't have been fate that brought us together.
Long story short, we both lived in Brazil and went to the same school, simply at different times. I went to this school during my 7th and 8th grade years, while Jes attended this school during her 11th grade year.
One day during my senior year I was just Facebook lurking (as usual) and I stumbled upon Jes' profile and realized that we had a lot of friends in common from Brazil, and that she lived in Lexington, so I decided to add her. Lucky for me, she accepted. Much later on, when it was getting closer to the end of my first semester of senior year, I was telling a mutual friend of ours, Maiane, about how I was going to USC for International Business and Chinese. Jes saw this and decided to message me, asking if I had a roommate yet and if I'd be interested.
Of course I said yes.
After that I found out that Jes was actually cousins with two people I had classes with when I lived in Brazil four years ago, and that we had a lot more in common than we thought.
Now we're roommates, and I couldn't be happier. Even though I plan on switching my major, Jes and I still constantly help each other out as much as we can on assignments. Good thing for us, I'm good at English, and she is good at math, so we are able to help each other in fields that the other isn't as strong in. Anytime something is bothering us, there is never the feeling of hostility or being unable to talk about our thoughts. If there's a problem, the only way to fix it is by talking it out. I can honestly say that she has become one of my best friends. She pushes me to do well because she wants to see me achieve everything I put my mind to to the best of my ability, and I couldn't thank her enough.
I hope that others are able to get as lucky as I did when receiving a roommate. This is for you, Jes. My roomie, my friend, my S*** M*** M*** ;]
