Roomate

I found out a few weeks ago that my roomate Jordan was dropping out of school and going back to Minnesota to go to a community college. It was mainly for financial reasons, and it came as quite a shock to me. One of the aspects of college I was the most worried for was rooming with someone else. I just wanted someone that I could get along with even if we weren't best friends. Jordan was the best roomate I could have asked for. We got along really well, and even though we're very different from each other, we became good friends. I was really surprised when he told me he was leaving because I didn't have any idea that he was having some problems. I really wanted to help him in some way but there wasn't much that I could do. I felt so bad, and I wished there was something I could do. Now I've slowly watched him pack up his stuff over these past few weeks and the reality is starting to settle in. He took home his first load of possessions this weekend, and he'll be back tonite to get the rest of it. He has a few things to wrap up on monday and then he'll be gone! It's going to be so weird having the room to myself, which will be kind of nice in some ways, but I wish he could stay. I really hope that he figures out what he wants to do with his life, and I wish him all the best!
