0-FOR-3 IN THE DORM

One of our young family friends freshly off to college is a girlygirl to the max. She loves to dress up, fix her hair, go out and be with people. She’s always bubbly and the life of the party wherever she goes. She signed up for a four-girl suite in the dorm with hopes of having a blast with other young women in wonderful new relationships and lots of socializing.

Alas! Two of her roommates are self-described “band nerds.” They wear the same athletic shorts, T-shirts and ponytails every day, never wear makeup, stay in the room except for going to class, and practice their instruments constantly.

The third is from a foreign country, and so far, no fun.

It seems like an impossible situation. But this young woman has red hair. Those people have irresistible charm. Sooner or later, she’s going to get her way. Prediction: by Christmas break, this foursome is going to be the talk of the campus. Party on!
