Future Georgia Thrashers Support Group Post

Jasmine Chamberlain:

Hi, future Thrashers! I am looking for three roommates to move into my on-campus apartment this fall. There would be no rent on your part, as I was blessed to be gifted the apartment by my family.

A little about me: I’m an incoming freshman and a cheerleader for the Thrashers! I love iced coffee, comfy clothes, and cooking. I’m double-majoring in culinary arts and business. I’ll be up front that I’m not the cleanest of housemates, but I will cook for you to make up for it.

The kind of roommates I’m looking for: Ambitious, creative girls with a sense of humor who are open to being friends and not just roommates. (Bonus points if you love to clean, since I hate it.)

If this post sounds awkward, it’s because my sister (who’s a therapist) edited it to “make my needs known” or something like that.

Marigold Belmore: Hey! I’d love to be considered.

I’m a journalism major, and I’ll be working for the paper this year.

I could offer you a picture on the front page in exchange for a spot?

Okay, I can’t actually do that, BUT I can promise that I’ll clean up after myself and help you with your English homework if you need it.

Aurora Driscoll: I’ll be honest with you—I’m not sure if I fit the criteria of the type of roommate you’re looking for.

My parents always say I should smile more and get out more, and well, just do more.

I don’t really have a life outside of ballet and school.

But I could really use a free place to live so that I can save up for a ballet program I want to get into.

Saylor Lane: I LOVE TO CLEAN! Seriously, it helps me de-stress.

I’m also very organized and can come up with a system for the apartment that ensures everyone contributes in some way.

I love color-coding, planning, and decluttering.

I’m pre-med, so I’m destined to spend the next four years glued to my desk, but I would love some friends to hang out with while I study!
