Movie Night (2014)
I chose "random roommate" for my first semester at the University of Cincinnati in which I stayed on campus in Turner Hall. In a wonderful stroke of luck, I found three great friends in my other suitemates. We get along well, aid each other in our studies, and have created a weekly tradition known as movie night. My roommate had brought a projector to college and when combined with the large white wall in our living room it seemed like it was meant to be. Every Friday night we show at least one movie (although multiple is often the norm) and tend to draw in decent sized crowds as word has spread. Personally, I am proud to be a part of this weekly ritual even when I am not present. We have created a strong sense of community on our floor and have even drawn other floors and dorms into the event. I have made a number of friends at movie night, and it always serves as a nice time to relax and decompress from the stress of the week. Regardless of if my suitemates and I stay together throughout the years, movie night is a tradition that I intend on carrying on.
