A Moment.

Do you ever think that every moment in your life, lined up exactly how they have been, has gotten you exactly where you are at this exact moment. A TV show, obviously not a very memorable one because I can't remember the name of it, made me aware of this not too long ago and it's crossed my mind since then a few times when I was drinking a coffee or heating up a lean pocket. Like really think about it, think about the moments that changed your life. What if you started your car a second later? What if you didn't go to that store or hadn't met that person? How different could your life possibly be if you were off by one second? Think about if you were conceived a second later. Well, you wouldn't be you.

So, what led me here? What moment can I pinpoint that got me on this course? The one that led me to writing a blog post. The right answer, I guess, is every second of my life, but not speaking so literally I'll go back to the first day of my freshman year of college. I sat down next to what would later become my best friends in college, but not before a good amount of loneliness and self-loathing my freshman year. The fun came after that freshman awkward stage many college students experience... at least I hope we weren't the only ones. So that moment was when I met them, but we were classmates for that first year. I thought they were super cool though and I kept doing the "WOW, they're so cool, I should totally be friends with them, but their too cool for me." Which is lame and pathetic I know, but that's what I thought. I'm just trying to base our relationship on honesty, especially since we're just getting to know each other. Also we were all caught up in stupid relationships that all ended eventually which didn't make us too concerned with having friends.

Fast forward through a few semesters and the three of us, who really knew no one else but each other, decided to be roommates. Fast forward a semester later and I couldn't imagine college life without them, they accept me, understand me, and laugh at me and with me appropriately. They eat unhealthy amounts of junk food with me, encourage me in all of my crazy ideas about life, laugh, cry and do life with me. They have made my life better for knowing them. So the obvious thing to do at this stage of the relationship is to start a blog. We rant to each other daily about all manner of things and for some reason we think that other people will think that what we have to say is worth listening to. We think so at least. So here it goes. The good, the bad, and the cheesy. Me and my two wonderful roommates. A music major that actually wants to be a lawyer, and Occupational Therapy Major, and a Fashion and Merchandising Major. A moment brought us together. From now on you get to be a part of the moments to come.
