Tribute to my girl, Riley! We haven't even known each other for four months, yet we are the best of friends. Our hall mates refer to us as a married couple even. I cannot decide whether this is a compliment or not. Riley is a brilliant girl with more potential in her pinky toe than I have in my entire body. She is the whole package. Looks, smarts, personality, talent! She's got it all. And I am lucky enough to have her as a roommate this year, and possibly in future years, therefore I indirectly "have it all" too.
Although, Brigham Young University may not have been Riley's top choice growing up she took a leap of faith to join thousands of others as a freshman at a very prestigious university. Little did she know that she would be dancing for six hours a day as part of BYU's Theater Ballet Company. It's not a big deal, she's just a pro. In fact, she lived in New York for three years before coming out to Happy Valley, while in New York she attended the School of American Ballet. Like I said, she's got some great credentials. Her parents are the sweetest. I have to say that I love everything about them. I haven't met her twin brother yet, he attends NYU, but I'm sure someday I will have the privilege to laugh in his presence. He seems like a pretty funny guy from what Riley tells me.
Of course I could brag forever about all of the wonderful traits my roommate encompasses, but instead I would rather focus on how blessed I am to have her in my life. She humbles me daily. She laughs with me always (if she is paying attention). She chastises me for getting sick and rants about washing hands and covering coughing mouths; needless to say she is a germaphobe. She studies like crazy and works super hard. She dances like an angel at the feet of God's throne. She is exactly the type of person I need and all I could ever want. I love my roommate.
