It's been over a year now since my first day living in a dorm, meeting a complete new crowd of some of the worlds greatest people, and attending the best university on the planet. I guess you could say I am feeling a little sentimental. I have been thinking a lot about the people back in Utah that were so dear to my heart, and also about some of the lessons I learned last summer. So todays topic: My first roommate and books.
Never judge a book by it's cover. A common cliché we've been taught since elementary school. I never doubted the truth of this cliché, but it wasn't until last summer that I really connected to the truth of it. Mary Katie was my first experience with a roommate besides my family, and needless to say, it was a rough experience in the beginning. Let me paint a little picture for you. Mary Katie is a 5 foot, 100 pound California girl who drives a black convertible V.W. Bug. She is obsessed with running and often does it in the middle of the night. She is very confident in her self, and knows it. She has more clothes than the dorm closet fits, is always dressed perfectly, and she only travels in dresses. I never hung out with her when I first met her because she was gone off on a date almost every single night, sometimes she even had two dates a night. She is almost every way different than me. Got an image? I sure had one.
What I learned is that images are not definitions. After getting to know the girl underneath the book cover, I came to know the beautiful story of Mary Katie. If you asked me to define this girl now, I would say she is one of the funniest, most caring, compassionate, hardworking girls I have ever know. She worked 3 jobs while at school because she likes to be able to support her self. She was always in the library, not because she didn't want to study with me like I thought, but because she wanted to keep a 4.0 to get into the nursing program at BYU. She adores little kids, she was a nanny back in California and one day she is going to be the worlds greatest mom. She likes cuddling up with her best friends, especially when we have movie nights, and she gives the best hugs. Her favorite movie is Peter Pan, just like me. She has a contagious laugh and will do anything to cheer you up. She is always up for a good time and always has a smile on her face. She is one of the most real people I know, she tells you how she feels about you and only complements you when she genuinely means it. She gives great advice and is always there when you need her. She is one of the best friends I have ever had.
**Mary Katie also says funny crap.. Like always. So I started writing it down. Enjoy**
