Ronnie
Jordan
Hey Jordan, I haven’t seen you since last semester. What’s new?
Not much, Ronnie. I moved out of the dorms and into an off-campus apartment.
How’s the commute?
It’s not as convenient as living on campus, but having my own room is worth it.
I hear you. I’m in the dorms until junior year because I have long gaps between classes and prefer to be within walking distance of everything.
I’m lucky that all my classes are back-to-back in the morning. I’m hoping to pick up an internship that I could go to in the afternoon.
I’m jealous. So did you ever end up pledging to that fraternity?
Nope, I decided Greek life isn’t for me. My girlfriend joined a sorority though. You?
Me neither. But I did join the honor society for philosophy majors.
Congrats! Hey listen, I’ve got to get to class, but let’s hit a house party this weekend.
