My Roommates are All Accounting Majors. . .

I think my title says it all, but I guess I'll expand a little on what I'm getting at.

I'm pretty sure none of them are ever going to read this, so I don't think they'll mind if I talk about them a little bit.

They are all in the masters program for accounting and they are all going to graduate in April. They all have jobs lined up in major cities and they are all very bright and live extremely structured, organized, systematic lives. The rest is what happens when you throw an MDT major in the mix. . .

Starting from youngest to oldest. By the way, I'm two years younger than the youngest of my three roomies.

The youngest of the three is a very type A personality. Everything about him is fast, the way he walks, talks, eats. . . everything. He is definitely the "perfect" one in the apartment. Well, accounting majors don't talk about their feelings much, so now that he has me I'm the main guy he goes to about all things emotional. Almost every night for the last three weeks he vents to me about the girl he is dating. I love it.

The middle roommate is very intelligent, also has the most "street smarts", but is also the most rebellious. He is definintely a smooth talker. He constantly gets me to say things I don't mean and is even more constantly trying to get me to not do things that I need to do; this blogging stuff for instance. We get along great, but it is just really interesting to see how much he opens up and acts differently knowing that I am different than they are.

The oldest has had the greatest transformation. He is very, very reserved and prior to this semester has never been very social. At the beginning of the semester he would tell me how he never used to go to church activities or dances. Well, now that I'm around he loves to do all of that stuff. We go to every church activity together and he is trying to date people that he has met hanging out with me. . . AND he said he has danced more this semester than pretty much his entire life. Every time we go to a party he gets a bigger smile on his face knowing that he is going to get a little more adventurous with his crazy moves.

I love my roommates and I think it's safe to say that I have officially rocked their world, in a good way!
