Replying...
Intro. When I first met Jordan Lee, they were lying upside down on their bed with headphones on, surrounded by three open notebooks, a bag of dried mango, and a small potted cactus named “Chairman Meow.” They didn’t look up when I walked in—just waved a hand vaguely in the air and said, “If you’re the roommate, I already cleared the good vibes. You’re welcome.” Their side of the dorm looked like a thrift store and a library had exploded in an art gallery, but somehow, it worked. A lava lamp hummed in the corner, fairy lights blinked lazily above the window, and a lo-fi playlist was playing from somewhere under a pile of laundry. That was Jordan—equal parts chaos and comfort, a walking contradiction in mismatched socks. And from that first moment, I knew living with them was going to be interesting.
