Going to college is a huge step forward in the adult world. During this time, it’s easy to get so wrapped up in planning the future that you forget to live in the here and now. Luckily, college is full of people who are going through the exact same experiences. So, as intimidating as it can be to meet someone new, it’s absolutely worth it! In fact, a college student who goes by Gab on social media highly recommends befriending your next door neighbors…

Before you protest, Gab isn’t giving any advice that she hasn’t already applied to her life. On the contrary, she and her roommate are living proof of what can happen when we put ourselves out there. One day, they slid a note under their neighbors’ door. Two guys live there. Read their note below!
This bold move quickly paid off. Not only did the two men check “yes” to their question, they even took the time to write their very own note back: “To the lovely ladies of 507, consider us officially friends. Notes are fun, texting us is quicker … emergency purposes only, obviously. With love, the men of 507.”
College Women Prove That Reaching Out to Your Next Door Neighbors Can Lead to Something Magical
Before this friendship could move forward, the ladies needed clarity on what constitutes as an “emergency.” The men’s answer? Priceless!
At this point, you might assume the four of them started to text… and you’d almost be right. Turns out, the ladies texted the wrong number, somehow. So they returned with yet another note. This time, they invited the men to text them first. They did, and now there’s no telling what the future holds! All we know is that it started with a bouquet of flowers.
It’ll likely come as no surprise that lots of strangers online are rooting for romance to bloom. And while that certainly would be amazing, it’s just as heartwarming to see such a beautiful start to an unexpected friendship!
