cultivating friendship

I was told that relationships are like plants; you have to care for them. However, if relationships really were like plants, mine would all be dead by now.

Roommates are there to see you at your lowest, at your highest, and everywhere in between. So, a good roommate matters and they are worth the world.

I knew very little about my new roommate Emma. We assumed one Zoom call was sufficient to decide to spend the next five months living together in a pandemic.

I am 20 years old. I am in my third year of university. And two of my best friends are 75 and 81. I couldn't be more thankful.
