At first thought, dorm life can be a scary thing, sharing a tiny space with strangers, little or no privacy, almost constant noise... these are all things students dread when facing life in a dorm. Not to say those things go away, or never get annoying, but from first glance, you can't grasp a full perspective on how dorm life really affects you. Eventually you settle into that small space and those strangers you're living with become life-long friends, or the people who hold you together through the year. Each student has individual qualities that help them grow together and bond with their roommates. Once rooms come together,
we grow as a floor, then as a dorm. From England to Hungary, or all the way to Venezuela, the personality and character of each student helps shape and develop the overall atmosphere of each building. When the year is over, we realize that we have learned far more than we could have ever imagined. We learned how to live in close quarters with others, to keep up with laundry, what it's like to have no hot showers, and just how loud and long you can talk after cjuiet in-donns. After all the pranks, the laughs, the fights, the devos, the bonding, and the memories, we realize: that wasn't so bad now, was it?

What is red and black, brown and blonde and from all over? Europe 16! This year, God united 4 women of all different ages, backgrounds, cultures, and hair colors and bonded them together in Christ. We have battled mice, mold, and men and come through them all as a tight-nit unit. God did many things in our room this year, but none compares with the changes that He made in our hearts. It has been wonderful to grow with, play with, and have adventures with all of you. I love our Monday night prayer times when we come together to pray and share how God is breaking and changing our hearts. May we continue to live untied in Christ as we fight for 3 a-och
