College Lesson Learned #28

#28- Always room with someone who loves to bake.

I love baked goods. It goes without saying, but they are so delicious and I’d die without them. Unfortunately at college, a freshly baked cookie or brownie is a rare treat. Most people do not have the time or the patience to sit down and make some homemade treats while pursuing a collegiate education.

And yet sometimes your roommates will surprise you.

One day, my roomie and I were complaining about the lack of creativity of the desserts at the cafeteria, and how they only have a true, delicious homemade dessert once every few weeks. We need more sugar in our lives.

The next day after classes, my roommate was nowhere to be found. He was gone. This was unusual. I went on about my day, went to dinner and went to my room to work on homework. I was working for a few hours and when all hope was lost and I was about to give in and say, “Screw you college!” Ben walks in and yells, “Ow, ow, ow! Clear my desk NOW!!!” and I obey without question. Then he sets down two plates of steaming cookies (chocolate chip and gingersnap for those who are wondering).

“Who and what are these for?” I ask him.

He sits down, looks at me, smiles, and simply says;

“Us.”

Moral: A happy roommate= a happy dorm room
