On the third day of Christmas, The CollegeBound Network gave to me…

THREE CRAZY ROOMMATES

My blog post is up late today, but if you heard about the weather in the Northeast, you’ll understand that I spent most of the day shoveling mountains of snow, not playing Farmville.

It’s going to be a pretty long week in the New York City area, with most of us waiting for plows to come by and rescue us from our apartments and our homes. It reminds me of the time that I was snowbound in college, and the fun that I had passing the time with my roommates and friends. This was way before Facebook, so we couldn’t while away the hours with Bejeweled or Mafia Wars. We actually played Monopoly and chess, and when we were tired of that, we’d just sit around and talk to each other for hours. And boy, did time fly.

So for the third day of Christmas, I wish for you to have roommates who are crazy enough to have fun with whatever the situation—be it in the midst of stressful exams, a bout of homesickness, or a snow-bound campus. After all, you might not remember what you finally scored on that history final, but you will remember that ridiculous song your roommate woke up to each morning on her phone, or the crazy antics your roommate tried to woo the girl of his dreams.

See you tomorrow. Goodness know I can’t go anywhere, so cheer me up and leave a comment. Or tweet me at @CollegeBoundNet.
