“ I was thinking we could go with like a NAUTICAL theme for the room. I have all of these adorable shotglasses from my hometown port’s gift shop. This one with the little anchor is my favorite-- ‘SHIP-FACED.’ Isn’t that cute? I mean it’s tacky but it’s like fun-tacky. And I have these navy-white-stripe curtains so we can replace these tragically drab ones the school provides. Oh! And I’ve been dying to put up this cute seahorse clock!! Do you like the ocean? Did you grow up in the Northwest? I’m, like, diehard Washington coast. You can see the pier from my window back home. I can ask my mom to send down my sea glass collection if you want to see it. I think I want to get a ‘Float On’ tattoo. Somewhere discreet so I can still be professional. Do you know that song? Do you like that song? What kind of music do you like? Do you like pop music? Do you mind if I play my music out loud sometimes? Don’t worry. I have great taste. Like ‘Float On.’ And Gaga. You seem like a Beatles girl. Do you like the Beatles? You have this total 60′s thing going for you. But you so rock it. I think it’s the hair. I used to have short hair. Hated it. It looks super cute on you, though! You probably take short showers, too, which is good, because you’ll make up for the longass showers I take, so the other girls in our hall bathroom can’t complain. Haha! No, I’m totally kidding. I only take like, 25 minutes. How long do you usually take? Probably like 10, right? Your hair looks really healthy so I bet you only shampoo, like, every other day. You know you’re supposed to do that, right? Not shampoo everyday? It’s something to do with the necessary oils in your hair. Speaking of oils, do you like essential oils? Because they’re like, my lifeforce. Peppermint is my favorite ever-- it’s the only thing that gets me through my headaches. Actually, I have a humidifier that you can put oils into to make the whole room smell bangin’. We can also light these candles, if you don’t mind. --Check it out! Nautical candle holders!!-- Don’t worry about getting in trouble. My buddy Sid and I figured out how to cover the smoke alarm with a hanger and a plastic bag. I do that when I need to light incense. Gosh, incense and oils! I sound, like, totally hippie, don’t I? Don’t worry, I’m not, like, freaky into horoscopes or anything. I check mine, though. I’m a Sagittarius, if you couldn’t tell by my charm bracelet. How about you? I bet you’re a water sign. Super peaceful, but like, lowkey sensitive. Are you a Pisces? Are you a Cancer? But maybe you’re an Aquarius. Did you know Aquarius isn’t a water sign? It’s wind. So it’s less like the ocean itself and more like sea breeze. Which suits you. You seem a little aloof but like, sincere, though. Wow, yeah! You’re totally an Aquarius, aren’t you? ...No, maybe a Cancer after all. You look stressed. Am I being overwhelming? Am I talking too much? Sorry, I, like.... My roommate last semester was kind of a lone wolf, so I have all of this pent-up bonding to get out of my system. I think it’s also an only child thing, too. I mean, I have this cousin who was basically my brother but it’s not the same, you know? Not growing up in the same house? And it’s super-not like a sister where you can borrow each other’s clothes and share beauty tips. We used to be able to talk about boys though, because he’s like, ultra gay, but it's way more fun when you can talk about boys while doing each other’s nails. Wait. Do you like boys? It’s weird-- I’m still getting used to that not being a default. But I’m getting better. Oh my gosh, do you want to do each other’s nails and gossip about boys!? Do you want to do a roomie bonding spa day? Girl, I am huge into manicures. Do you want to see my nail kits? I have a ton of stencils you can borrow. Oh! I’m just Max, by the way. No one really calls Maxine. Except for, like, this one kid. Because it’s like an old lady name and he’s the only one on the planet who likes it. Do you have any nicknames? Can I call you Snowflake? Can I call you Snow White? How cute would that be? Do you get that a lot? Do you have any social media? Do you have a Twitter? Can I follow you? ”
