It is a December tradition that I have where after I receive an email with a list of all my future roommates I go on a stocking frenzy. And I don't mean anything to do with Christmas. I mean I find them on facebook. I read and practically MEMORIZE everything I can about them. I look at all 426 pictures that they have of themselves and read their walls and comments until I feel like I already KNOW them... I know it might sound creepy, but, hey, it's tradition.
Anyway, for whatever reason I am SUPER nervous for this semester! I usually room with at least someone that I have roomed with in the past, but since I scared them all away last semester, I am totally out of luck. I know one of the girls, not very well, but enough that I'm not totally losing my head (even though that sounds like a silly thing to do over the matter of roommates. But hey, this is a big deal! These are girls that I'll be spending four whole months with! I mean...it could be ugly! ...Or totally not.) I recognize another one of my roommates but the familiarity stops there. And I have no clue who the other girls are.
So today at work I was expressing my total worry about the situation and my friend was helping me by telling me all of her roommate stories and there I was, sitting, GLUED to every word, hoping to find SOMETHING that could help me. ...In the end she basically said that everything will be great and her husband even added that he thought that one of my roommates will become one of my lifelong friends. ..I feel like they're probably right, but, still, I am oober worried! ...But maybe that's just part of being Julia.

yeah, try going to college 7, 8, or 9 years ago before FB existed. The only way to learn about your new room mates was by meeting them and talking to them.
It's kinda fun, like an adventuresome stranger walks into your room and you are like, Oh, you must be my room mate, Hi, I'm Sarah.
Don't worry too much about it (I know, easier said then done) That's how I did it and I walked away with 4 life long friends. Make some cookies or banana bread and sit and chat while you eat up. :)
