I told you that we were making this season of Connecting the Dots more personal, and there is nothing that matters more to me than my friends and family. I am SO excited to have four of my closest friends on this episode to talk about our experience living together in ONE room in our sorority house during our junior year of college. We had the best time together, which is hard for most people to believe - five girls in close quarters for two full semesters. We wanted to share how we were able to make it work, give advice for people looking for roommates or finding it hard to live with other people, and reminisce on some of our favorite memories from that year.

Carolina: My name is Carolina Parra, I currently live in Washington DC. By day, I'm immersed in the legal world as a project coordinator at a prominent firm, but on weekends, I switch gears to bartending, where I mix drinks and make cocktails! Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, I pursued my passion for government and politics at the University of Maryland. When I'm not working, you'll find me going for a run or cheering on my favorite basketball team. Whether it's discussing legal matters, shaking up cocktails, or shooting hoops, I'm always up for a good conversation and making new connections.
