When Grey's Anatomy first came out I was an avid watcher. I would get invested into the show and be one of those crazy obsessed people who knew everything about the show and I was for a solid 7 seasons. Now, I would catch an episode every now and then but after some of my favorite people were killed off I could never fully be invested in the show anymore, but I had always wondered about the relationship that Christina and Meredith had. They would always tell each other, "You're my person". I always wanted a friendship like that. I wanted a friendship where no matter what you would be able to talk to each other. weather you were mad at each other or just needed to cry, they were there for you. I wanted to have someone in my life who was like that. I never knew that it would end up being my roommate.

Emily has been that person for me from the moment I moved into the apartment. She has been the one I turn to when I need to talk to someone, she is the person I turn to when something has gone seriously wrong or good, she is there for me when I need to vent about something that has me pissed off or I need to cry. She is the one who tells me like it is weather I will like it or not, she is the one who has never once held back on telling me to, "suck it up buttercup". I never knew how much I needed someone like her in my life until I moved into my apartment. Living on my own has been one of the hardest things I have done yet. I am still adjusting and learning how to balance everyday life, groceries, car issues, work, social life, classes, ect. The list goes on and on. I am still learning and growing. Everything I do is a learning process and helps me grow into the person I am meant to be.

Emily has been my rock through all of the hard times that I have had. She has been there for me through a lot of crap that has happened over the summer and throughout the school year. Through all the drama with my sorority and being behind on payments because rent came first and they didn't understand that or care about that. To the drama with my car and not being able to drive it for 2 weeks because it needed to be fixed. She went from being my roommate to being my everyday ride. She has been there for me on the days I end up in the ER because of some bizarre reason and she sits there with me till my parents get up here. She has been my other half through countless boy drama, to get me home on the days I had just a little too much fun with friends, to just sitting around our apartment hanging out because we have both worked all week and are exhausted to do anything else.

From watching countless hours of Hell's Kitchen or Lost Girl because why not, to studying for classes way into the AM in our living room, to roomie dinners and roomie breakfast, to making 2 pots of coffee in the morning because we both needed the extra caffeine. Emily has been there for it all and has put up with me and been one of the best friends I have had! We are now moved out of our apartment and are now living in different cities. What once was is no more and we are now living separate lives. It is terrible! I miss our tiny apartment and living with my other half. I miss being able to walk into my apartment and flop down on the couch or my chair and not being yelled at that i'm doing something wrong. I miss cooking what I want to cook without being questioned the entire time. I miss not having to ask to do every little thing because I didn't need to. I miss privacy and just being able to be myself 100% of the time, But most of all I just miss seeing my person everyday! Facetime is okay for now... but we will be seeing a lot of each other in the future.
