First week of college

On Wednesday 25 I moved into the University of Southern Indiana in one of the residence halls.  I had already met my roommate, but not my other two suite mates, but I got lucky. I love all of my roommates already and we have hardly spent more than a week together.  We got past the awkward stage after about the second day we moved in.  We have many hobbies and other things in common which really helped.  We have all played some kind of sport, whether it be volleyball or marching band, we all have had long-term boyfriends, and we are all majoring in elementary education. 
On our fifth night living together, my roommate and I decided that we need decorations in our room, our walls were looking quite bland.  Our solution to bland walls, looking up pictures online at guys that we considered 'hot'.  The guys ranged from actors to singers.  All four of us huddled in my room staring at my roommates computer screen.  People in the rooms surrounding us probably hated us because we were laughing and giggling and screaming every time we found a really 'hot' picture.  My roommate is a huge fan of the singer John Mayer, she currently has three pictures of him hanging over her bed.  We also have a pictures of Lil' Wayne and Channing Tatum in our room.  But, above my bed, I have Liam Hemsworth (from the movie The Last Song) and Josh Hartnett (from Pearl Harbor).  In the common room that the four of us suit mates share we now have a small picture of Ryan Reynolds and Tom Brady.  We stayed up Sunday night until at least two in the morning printing off pictures of the guys.  The late night also included loud giggling and laughter.  We have also decided that we are going to print off and bring back more pictures from home this weekend, seeing as three of the four of us are going home.
After we hung up our pictures we have had various girls come into our room to see our new decorations. They all loved our pictures and even gave us a few suggestions.  It sounds silly, but our 'picture night' really helped the four of us become closer and we have even talked about rooming together in the years to come.  I really feel as if that night brought us closer together and I know that there will be many similar nights like that to come!
