Serendipity?

Serendipity (noun)-

an aptitude for making desirable discoveries

Tonight my friends and I had our first movie night. We started our soon-to-be tradition on a good note by watching non other than 'Serendipity'. A story about finding your soul mate by chance and searching for them after being separated.

As I was watching the movie tonight I realized how serendipitous my friendship is with my new friends. How could we all be so alike? How could 7 complete strangers get along so well and have so much in common? Or, how could it feel like I've known them all for years? True, we have spent every minute of every day together for the past 10 days so you do get to know a person when spending so much time together!

It was the simultaneous meeting of each other. Steak and Gordo walked into my dorm one night when my roommate, KT and I were hanging out and we found out we all knew people from our hometowns- we clicked. Shay and I met one night because I was discussing how I spent 14 hours waiting in line for Harry Potter & the Deathly Hollows pt.2 and she overheard so she decided to join the conversation because of her HP obsession. Linda came along with Shay and Yan came along with Steak and Gordo!

Thinking about college I never imagined making friends that I know will be around for years within the first week. This weekend we're all leaving to go "home" for Labor Day weekend and not seeing them for nearly a week sounds insane right now! We're like a little family! We plan lunch and dinner dates, we all meet in Gordo, Steak, and Yan's room every night to watch whatever is on TV that night, and every time I laugh I laugh until I cry, until my sides are sore, until I'm snorting so loud that I'm trying to STOP laughing! This is what I hoped for in college, I love it and I love my friends.

Here's to a year 'full of activities'! :)
