You are looking for a place to take classes and so a place to live, but you don’t want to do it alone. As you’re looking at the various places to live on College Rentals, you nod off daydreaming about the possibilities of roommates. Who will I meet in my time in undergrad? You think about their possible quirks, good and bad, and what kind of compromises in personality you may have to make with them.
They’re worldly, but very messy locally – like the apartment. You can have great conversations but have to pick up after them… But what about in history? Who would be a great roommate for an undergrad in history?
Think, Abe Lincoln, everyone knows him or of him. What was his big trait? He was honest. If you had an honest and upright roommate like Abe Lincoln, how cool would that be? Someone you could confide in and feel comfortable expressing your innermost fears and biggest plans – who would give honest feedback. A confidante is someone worth having in your life, and even better if they’re your roommate. You would have an emotional security in person form.
Your mind may wander off into another domain like music. It drifts into the more modern era. You could be around this person when they are singing or rapping. Think about some of the biggest names now like Jay-Z or Justin Bieber, you could have one of the greatest lyricists or pop stars in the world right in your own place.
You would have Justin Bieber checking his Twitter and Facebook talking about all the Beliebers out there. Just a nice celebrity with a great, outgoing personality, you could have a lot of fun with someone like a Justine Bieber. Then with Jay-Z, you really could learn the ropes of how to hustle. Someone with a real gift for language and an acumen for business. Sharp on words and swift on negotiation, you could spend time learning how to do your own startup.
Another great person outside of honesty with Lincoln, an outgoing personality with Bieber, and learning about business with Jay-Z would be Oprah. You could talk well into the night about the issues ongoing in your dorm and relationship life. Imagine sitting down with your girlfriends trying to figure out what is going on with the cute guy in Anthropology class, then Oprah is there and she invites guests like Dr. Phil and Iyanla Vanzant to come in and give crucial life and relationship advice – and to figure out about the young man. Between the honesty of Lincoln, the positive extroversion of Bieber, business savvy of Jay-Z, and the social skills and advice giving of Oprah, you would be set for a college life of solid roommates.
