I recently moved into a house with nine of my favorite gal-pals. This past summer, whenever I would tell people that I was about to move into a house with eight other girls, they would say, “Eight? Good luck!” I always left the conversation a bit wearisome, because it left me unsure if I’d made a mistake deciding to live with that many people. It may only be a few weeks into the year so far, but I’ve certainly already learned a few lessons that have changed my life forever:
1. Family dinners have the power to brighten your day.
2. Mamma Mia makes for the best sing-a-longs.
3. It’s more fun to watch Bachelor in Paradise with a group of people who provide superb commentary.
4. Girl power is real because girls can use power tools to make a bench for their porch.
5. A craft a day keeps the boredom away.
6. It’s important to remind your roommates to drink water because sometimes they forget.
7. When you meet a new neighbor, greet them with a nice “Howdy!”
8. You may not like each other always, but you love each other all the time.
I can’t wait to see what other wisdom my roommates will bestow upon me this year!
