And of course we KNOW you never peeked. ;o)
Actually, long ago peeked and repented. ;^)
When I left for college, it was like sending a baby out into traffic.
I was hopelessly uninformed, naive, an overprotected kid away from home for the first time.
My roommate was going to be my highschool friend..**We had already bought & coordinated our chintz bedspreads & matching pillow shams)**...
..But the school discouraged friends from the same town as roommates and wanted it mixed up a little bit :(
...So they assigned me someone else!----The new girl had written me nifty, happy letters to get acquainted...(the school encouraged this)...
..She sounded just about ideal in likes and dislikes ---a good match!....
My parents were happy and relieved.
Turned out new roommate was ...unfortunately...a teenage boozer, sad to say....and had misrepresented herself in a lot of areas I thought we had in common.
..and spent many nights either throwing up all over the chintz bedspread ....or having dry heaves.---I had never taken a drink, or drugs or ..anything!
She was very streetsmart and I didn't know how to handle any of this----I wasn't going to be a snitch!---but I was so homesick.
I did eventually get another roommate.
