025: The good 'ol college days

Let me explain. When I went away to MSU when I started college I was put in something called "transitional" housing. They over booked roommates into one  room. This is even though I submitted a specific roommate request from someone I knew in college, I submitted it ON TIME mind you. But that didn't up working out. So anyway, one of us had to go, get reasaigned to another room or dorm. I had contacted the two other girls in my room weeks and weekz before we were all moving in. I had explicitly asked them not to build lofts before we all got there in case we didn't know who wanted what. Well once I got there I had found out they both moved in early, already built the loft and decided I was the one who had t o move out. So I lived out of boxes for two weeks before the college could find me a suitable replacement room. Looking back on it now I could have probably fought for a single room but I'm not upset things workes out the way they did.

They eventually found me a suitable room....in an all girls dorm. You can imagine my disappointment to learn that I wasn't going to be sharing a floor woth boys (tee hee). I actually got to move inyo the second biggest room on the floor, smack dab in the middle of the floor, with a beautiful bay window. My roommaye, Becky was really nice and we hit it off. The best part was that she was also gamer and.....she shares my love of Mario Party! Needless to say, our room was open season for any wanderers to come in, almost every night, for a Mario Party smackdown. Eventually we formed a prettt regular group of players. It was really fun. I eventually met one of my best friends, she actually live kiddy corner to my room on the same floor. I remember most everyone complained about my superior mini game skills. :P

I also remember the calculations we always made regarding how many stars everyone had before the game ended (including stars earned by most coins, most red spaces etc.). It's just a very fond memory of mine. So the picture relates how everyone basically felt about each other after a particularly rough session.

I miss everyone I connected to but I will always remember the Mario Parties we had.
