I’m second year and just this year made my first really close college friend. He also happens to be my roommate. We are super close, almost like brothers. We hit it off right away and got close the first week. We share a one bedroom apartment of campus and have bunk beds. It’s hard to cry in a bunk bed and not be heard by the person above or below you. One particular night, we were both laying bed stressed, overwhelmed, homesick. We heard each other crying and asked the obvious question, “Are you crying? What’s wrong?” That lead to a marathon 2 and half hour crying and talking session. When you share that kind of emotional honesty, you can’t help but get close. We are now each other’s best friend, confidant, and crying shoulder. It’s awesome!!
