How I Met Everyone Else

Eduardo had just graduated from the University of Arizona, and he was waiting for his plane in the Tucson Airport. He was a little nervous since this is first time away from his Tucson home. He was put at ease when he saw a kid with an Arizona shirt. Eduardo started a conversation with the kid and found out his name was Will. So they were talking about where they were from and when Eduardo said he went to Tucson High, a girl named Veronica chimed in saying that she went to that same high school, but she graduated 2 years after Eduardo. Then it came time to check in and it just so happened that Eduardo and Will were randomly assigned to the same apartment.

Meanwhile, my mom was talking to another mom while their sons were checking in.

Meanwhile to that, I was waiting in a line much longer than any of the ones I waited at Universal, to check-in. I was talking with the people around and one of those people was named Jeremy. We were both talking about how we had no idea who our roommates were going to be. We said that if we didn’t like our roommates that we would both transfer so that we could be roommates. Later that day I find out that I am assigned to Frontierland Attractions in the Magic Kingdom and he is assigned a character performer and he is “friends with” Tigger. After Jeremy and I return from check-in and meet up with our parents to move into our apartments. We each hop in our cars and when my mom and I pull up into the parking lot, who should pull up next to us but, wait for it… Jeremy, and it turns out that my mom had been talking to his mom while I was talking to him. So we go into our apartment and we are setting up our room when Eduardo and Will walk in. We then meet our other two roommates, Nelson, who is a little quiet but cool as hell, and then Josh who is never here, so Nelson basically has a single. And thus the Crew, the Wolfpack, the Fab Five, our group of roommates was born.

And now for the cherry on top; after we had been moved in, Eduardo invited Veronica up and she told us what she had been assigned to. She is “friends with” Winnie the Pooh.
