This next post is about my new friend Morayo Ogunbayo. She is one of my close friends here at Penn State, and I have really enjoyed getting to know her better. Like my roommate, Erica, I met Morayo in the Penn State class of 2023 Facebook group, but this time it was the Schreyer specific group. Morayo was one of the first people to post, and I rememebr thinking her post was very funny and relatable. Once I saw her upfront humor, I knew she would be someone that I would get along with.
Morayo and I are both in the Schreyer honors college, but we have so many other similar passions and interests as well. In highschool, journalism was a big part of my life as I worked for the school newspaper as the co-editor in chief. I noticed that Morayo wrote down that she is planning on being a journalism major, which drew me in even more. We started communicating and we ended up liking a lot of the same shows and movies too. We bonded over our obsession for The Bachelor franchise and all of the other spinoff shows.
Now at college, we watch Bachelor In Paradise together every Monday and Tuesday from 8-10pm with a bunch of our other friends as well. It has basically created a viewing party in our hall basement longue. A simple thing like a common television show interest can really bring people together greatly.
I have been really sick lately and have not been able to go to class all week, I even ended up in the ER yesterday. Throughout this tough sickness, a lot of my new friends have been extremely helpful and kinsd, especially Morayo. Morayo has brought me food and medicine, and has eaten some meals with me in my room since I have barely been able to leave my bed.
Morayo is an awesome friend and I have had a very positive experience getting to know her better and laughing together. She has a great sense of humor and can make me laugh until I cry. We have recently laughed a lot about the lack of adequate medical care here in State College, Pennsylvannia during my illness.
I am glad that I met Morayo here at Penn State and I can’t wait to continue sharing about some of my other great friends.
