As I write this celebrity post, I am experiencing a little stage fright. This blog has become something I would have never imagined. But let’s be serious, anything Maris touches turns to gold. She’s the bomb diggity and here are some reasons why… Maris falls asleep with the lights on and the door open. Who does this?? No one normal and that’s exactly why I love Maris. I have never really met anyone like Maris before. I wish I was her sometimes (and by sometimes I mean all of the time). When I sleep through my classes, stuff my face with Dunkin Donuts, and waste my life away via facebook, I look to Maris for my inspiration. The girl doesn’t stop! Main library, group projects, running/falling down CRCE stairs, facebook stalking to a healthy degree. This girl has got it going on! (especially on the dance floor). I sleep talk, she doesn’t notice. I don’t shower much, she doesn’t say anything. I put up a very strange doorbell (it’s kick ass, come to room 211 for more information, but be warned, there is no heat in our room) and she fully embraces it. I am so thankful for paris with a m and she doesn’t even know it! So my advice for the day (and don’t worry, it is just today, Maris will be back soon) is to appreciate that person who you live with. You go through a lot in a semester. Let’s reflect on the hardships Maris and I have faced…only getting one bed at the beginning of the semester, having a router in our room but no internet, did I mention we don’t have heat in our room? Wow, those were a lot of struggles…I am not sure how we got through it, but we did, together. Next semester, Maris and I are upgrading to a new room and another roommate, Emily. To say that I am excited is an understatement. Emily was the woman who did our light installation for the Christmas season, which is beautiful. If you were looking for some festive decorations, let her know. You can find her up at all hours of the night and occasionally napping in Maris’s bed. So to conclude (I don’t want to bore you, I am no Maris Witry here), I just want to thank Maris for a magical semester. I will miss her over these next 4 weeks, but I guess that is why the girl has a blog.

Love Life Live the Dream,
