Although I wasn\u2019t really ready to say goodbye to Warren (I will always love you, 720B), I was so excited to move to Bay State with my best friends and christen the Lady Lounge. Countless TV shows have documented living with your friends and I was excited. Were we going to have a Chandler-Joey and Rachel-Phoebe-Monica living set up? Who would be our Ugly Naked Guy? We\u2019re looking at you MIT frats.<\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span>Jen and Meredith are in the double and I\u2019m in a SAMwich with Sam and Sammi. We\u2019ve got the perfect set up, with each of our personalities proudly displayed on our respective corners. We\u2019ve also got AC, a record player, and a whole bunch of seltzer. So basically, the Lady Lounge is where it\u2019s at.<\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span>I have to admit, although I was <i>beyond <\/i>excited to live with my best friends, I was also a little nervous. Why was I nervous? Was it the ghost of Eugene O\u2019Neill that haunts the fourth floor of Kilachand? Unfortunately, no. There hasn\u2019t been any paranormal activity (that I know of). I was living with some of my favorite people in my favorite city, but I was worried that living with my Bae State babes could possibly hurt our friendship. Would we get sick of spending all of our time together? The answer is n<i>ever.<\/i> Our friendship has only become stronger, especially now that we share a bathroom (there is no such thing as privacy).<\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span>I have so many memories with these incredible ladies and I know we\u2019ve only been at school for two weeks, but these past couple of days might be tough to beat. Here are some of my favorite roommate bondings \u2014 for new and old friends!<\/p>\n<p><b>DANCE PARTY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We at the lady lounge are very fond of dance breaks. Especially to ABBA.
