Megan was Freshman year roommate #2! She and I became friends through mutual acquaintances and when things did not work out with either of our first roomies, we jumped at the chance to live together! I do not think either one of us would have survived that semester without each other! Even though Megan and I are completely different, we are very alike too. We both love planning weddings (specifically each others), the color pink, girly things, fashion, cheesy lifetime movies, and of course making home made music videos.
Megan and I will always be best of friends simply because we were family during our first semester. We were "home" to each other.
My favorite college memories with Megan:
1. The time she told me not to date "so-and-so" but to date Drew. She wanted me to marry Drew from day one. Seriously, she called it. She even told my mother I needed to date Drew. (Shows how well she knew me, seeing as how I did marry him!).
2. Making our music videos! Duh. Megan and I had no friends our first semester. Seriously. People in our hall were not fans of us. Probably because we were obnoxious and made lots of noise at 3 am. A typical night in Baxter 206 looked like this:
-I would come home from rehearsal around 9pm.
-I would ask Megan if she ate anything. Then I would make her easy-mac.
-Then we would pretend like we were going to clean our room only to take naps until about midnight.
-We would wake up, have a snack, and decide to make a music video or two.
-We would choose a random song, learn the words, put on character appropriate costumes, then hit record on her digital camera. No rehearsal, no discussion about plot, it just sorta happened. And it was magic. Seriously, if you have not seen these videos, you are missing out!
3. Our parties. We had a Friday the 13th party and an awesome Christmas party. Seriously, we had like 30 people in our tiny dorm room. It was off the hook. We even had a cream soda keg. It was so legit. :)
4. Um the time I saved her from shame and embarrassment in Dr. Brauer's class. I predicted that if she reached for her pencil that she dropped she was going to fall out of her chair. I dreamt this and then prevented it from happening all through AIM in class. $80,000 education folks, and I used AIM in class. Sad, but true. You're welcome though, for saving you from shame and embarrassment.
5. Leroy our ghost. Strange things happened in Baxter 206. Loud noises, cans flying out of our refrigerator, beds shaking, creepy shadow men showing up in film footage. Although he scared me sometimes, he was not dangerous. Just a spectator to our lives...and well who can blame him?!
6. I loved when we would come home and find Barb sitting in our room watching a movie eating popcorn. Still don't know how she got in there!
7. Do you remember our code words for visitors?
8. 2 Words: Canada and the Abyss.
9. The best surprise ever was when you flew down from Boston for the bridal shower with Anna in Orlando at Disney World. That was such a blast and made my year. What great friendships!
10. Our Christmas decorating at midnight on Nov. 1st. (Also, sleeping through Halloween).
Megan I love our friendship. I am beyond thankful for you. You were my first friend at PBA and I was so sad when you left. But I am so glad that our friendship did not cease when you left! You have been there for me through everything. You were an amazing help during the whole wedding season! Thank you for everything. I will never be able to thank you enough! You kept me sane. I love how low-key our friendship is. There is no drama. That is a blessing! We always have so much fun together just being ridiculous and goofing around. I am so happy for you and your new found happiness! I can't wait to meet Brett! I am so excited about seeing you next month! I cannot wait! I miss you tons and look forward to chatting soon!
As Mickey Says....
