Meet my Roooomies!!!

I am finally starting to settle in and Florida is amazing! I am so happy with my roommates and we all get along so well. A popular welcoming activity that roommates do in the DCP is roommate gifts. I knew my roommates ahead of time so I was easily able to do this. Roommate gifts are exactly what they sound like, it’s where you make a gift for all your roommates! You can get them all the same thing or personalize it to their interest.

Lauren (Lo or L.L. Cool J)

Lauren went to school up in Massachusetts and is a certified teacher! Her and I are the most similar and I know we are going to have so much fun and make so many memories this Program. She is a big ball of fun and always keeps everyone laughing.

The roomie gift she gave us were beach themed mason jars with fireflies’ lights in them and our names on them. This gift was so sweet because she gave us a little bit of her with these gifts. She loves the beach and plans on teaching in Florida once she is done with the program!

Destini (Des or Dez-a-razz-a-razz)

Des goes to college in Georgia and is going to her super-duper awesome senior year as a theatre major. Des is my actual roommate and we get along perfectly! She is so laid back and chill and keeps our friend group humble! I am so happy to have her as a friend and I know we are going to have a great program together!

The roomie gift she gave us were a personalized blanket with our initials on it. It was so thoughtful and nice of her. We all use our blankets every day!

Gabriella (Gabs or Yo Gabba, Gabba)

Gabs goes to college in New York and is going into her senior year as an advertising major. She is so funny and artsy! She is our roommate that will be crafting everything for us! Every time I am with her I am always laughing and I know we will have a great program together!

The roomie gift she gave us were personalized notebooks. She painted our favorite characters or princess or movies on our notebooks. The books are amazing and I plan on using it as a journal for my program.

Viktorija (Vic or Icky Vicky)

Vic goes to college in Illinois and is going to be a junior studying theatre! She is so fun and loving and makes everyone’s day so much better! She is also very artsy and is very talented all around in the fine arts. I love acting and so does she so I can’t wait to go to plays with her! I am so excited for all the memories we are going to make this year.

The roommate gift she gave us were personalized letters with our favorite characters and a sign with our name on it. It was so awesome and thoughtful. We are all hanging our letters in our living room and I am going to hang my sign on the door!

Amresse (Armrest or Yonce)

She is also ALWAYS MISSING IN ACTION. It’s a big problem haha! It’s going to be such a fun program with her and I can’t wait for all the memories we make!
