My sophomore year in college I finally got out of the all-girls’ dorm I had been assigned to freshman year (what a bunch of BITCHES), and moved into a co-ed dorm. Our first day moving in, my roommate and I set up our separate spots. She was into unicorns. (She joked, “I told people I liked unicorns when I was 14 and ever since then people give me unicorns for presents. I don’t know how to tell them to stop.”) I was into reading. We bustled about, trying to organize our stuff. Then she took out this clear plastic thing she had for reading: it enlarged/magnified text. I asked her what it was. She told me. Within 5 minutes, we were doing … this. And crying with laughter. A good sign for our potential as roommates.
