6. Chapter 7--- Engaged Roommates....Bridezillas Occasionally


I couldn't have asked for better roommates this semester! I didn't know any of them moving in, but I felt like I was really inspired to live where I chose to, even though my friends wanted to live somewhere different than I did. The Lord is so good to me, and put me exactly where I needed to be! From the moment I moved in, I fell in love with all three of the girls I live with!

Three weeks into the semester though, my room-roommate got engaged! We were all so excited at first! We would throw her a shower and help her shop for flowers and buy her lingerie! It was our little apartments dream! We were all so excited! (And don’t get me wrong, we still are most of the time)

Then our engaged roommate morphed into “bridezilla” for the first time! Taking her stress of school and wedding planning and fiancĂ© time out on us, she turned VERY scary! This began only to manifest itself on small occasions and then slowly more and more, until now it is almost all we see with occasional sprits of the roommate we love.

Also once you’re engaged, apparently it is an unwritten rule that you are a professional at relationships. This then entitles you to force your opinion on relationships and dating on to all those around you. This applies to every new bride to be, including those, who like my roommate, have only ever dated and kissed one guy, their current fiancĂ©. I feel as if I, who have kissed and dated a multitude of men, had my fair share of serious relationships, and have had five older siblings as examples of what to do and not to do, have more advice then she will ever have. (In case you can’t tell, I’m a little annoyed at that one…) What frustrates me the most is that we have one freshman roommate who is barely getting the hang of what it means to be in college, and the bridezilla is trying to control her every move when it comes to dating and boys… Everyone deserves their agency!

Now don’t get me wrong, I still love this Bridezilla, but I just hope the wedding comes soon or she gets over the stress of being newly engaged! Because if not, this will prove to be a very long semester! Good thing my other two roommates and I can just laugh at her and ignore her slight temporary insanity!!!

Isn’t life a blast?!
