Bridesmaid
NYC Maddie & I are the embodiment of a random roommate match going outstandingly well. We met as wee lil’ freshmen on Northwestern's move-in day & were placed in a decrepit 14x11 room together. We quickly found that we had a lot in common, like being crazy enough to not break up with our long distance BFs before college (regrets & mistakes, they're memories made). We lived together for the remainder of college & studied abroad together. We've had happy, sad, exhausted & somewhat dangerous moments, but above all, many ridiculously fun & hilarious moments. Maddie is hands down the best college BFF turned lifelong BFF I could have ever asked for. Fun Fact: I’m a HUGE cat person & I’ve had 2 tabby brothers since birth named Opie & Otto. They are my life, my loves, my all.

Bridesmaid
Chicago, IL I know Maddie from freshman year at Northwestern University when we both chose to take the nerdiest math classes for no extra credit. 🤓🐾 Maddie's constant positivity in the face of the most ruthless exam experiences, "We did great." -Maddie, made sure no tears would be shed over misplaced decimal points and exponents. Fun fact: From time to time I wonder if my parents actually went through with naming me Peaches, would I have spent more of my childhood attaining sociably transferable skills like being good at Smash Bro's and less time being a nerd who carried around a logic puzzle workbook.
