The first time we met was freshmen year at James Madison University. Our dorms were right next to each other and my good friends lived in the room next to James. We had different friend groups but we ended up living near each other all 4 years. Flash forward to 2022 when James liked a picture of mine on Hinge and called out the dorm he thought I lived in (he was off by one). We met up for dinner and from that moment on we spent most of his 6 weeks of military training & leave together.
