so it is a cycle
Few days ago, a junior of mine, X, for some reason remembered me and wrote me a compliment and it (obviously) made me happy. It was about how I don't seem unapproachable to my juniors (aw). I thought it was a weird thing to be complimented of but I'll still take it. I thought it was slightly ironic considering our beginnings.
It was Christian retreat (or an excuse to get away; I came because I was lowkey forced) for 2 days and 1 night. As one of the few seniors, the chaperone, apologizing, asked if I was willing to switch rooommates because somebody refused to be roommates with someone else. I wasn't going to be an inconvenience so I nodded along. The first day ended around 11pm. I was wiped out, all I wanted to do at that moment was going straight to bed immediately.
My chaperone earlier during the day gave me forewarnings about my supposed roommate. Obviously, I didn't put much attention. How bad could it go?
Io and behold, my roommate was X. At the time, I've only seen X in passing.
The chaperone told me I should probably have a talk with my roommate.
House rule of the retreat was no laptops. MF brought his own laptop and barely slept the whole night with his white LED screen shining at my face. I thought 'screw it!!', tucked the pillow onto my eyes and cursed my roommate in sleep.
About a year later, I found X in the same student club with me. X was pretty serious with it and so, here we are.
Moral of the story: idk
Getting to know people who keep reappearing as a background character in your life is always a funny experience. You just never know
