How We Met (Told by Megan)

8/20/21

It was move-in day freshman year and Zach and I both knew our lives were about to change, just not in the way we thought. Our parents had left approximately 3 hours earlier, after a day of moving and tearful goodbyes. That evening we had mandatory orientation sessions that we attended with our first year seminar classes. I had befriended a girl in my seminar class and we were getting ready to leave the session we were at and head to the next one, which was being held in a different building on campus. Unknowingly, we walked out of the wrong door, leading us to be separated from the rest of our group. We decided to just follow the crowd and head towards the next session. Zach and his roommate were walking in front of us and the girl I was with recognized him from the Facebook group. They said hi and I was feeling extroverted, so I introduced myself to the cute boy in front of me. We quickly started a conversation and learned that they had also gotten separated from their seminar group. We decided to sit together at the next orientation session and we ended up talking through the entire thing. We couldn't tell you a single word that the presenter said. After the session we exchanged numbers and decided to meet up for bingo later that evening, after our mandatory floor meetings. After bingo, we still weren't ready for the night to end, so we sat up talking in the lobby of our dorm room for another hour or so. Riding the high of the evening, I asked him to get breakfast with me the next morning and I guess you could say the rest is history.
