如果Maria Ordoñez和Manon Michel在大三之前没有决定成为住宿助理，他们就不太可能认识。Ordoñez出生在哥伦比亚波哥大，在迈阿密长大，就读于奎斯特罗姆商学院（Questrom School of Business），学习营销和组织行为学。玛农在康涅狄格州哈特福德郊外长大，就读于美术学院视觉艺术学院，主修版画。
But Ordoñez (Questrom’21) and Michel (CFA’21,’22) bonded the first day of RA training and got to know each other that summer. 在他们成为11楼的Claflin Hall RAs-Ordoñez， 9楼的Michel之后，他们继续偶遇，偶尔会和其他RAs一起出去玩。但直到2020年1月由VAGMO+上演的《阴道独白》（The Vagina Monologues）的制作，两人才成为亲密的朋友。Ordoñez在高中时演过很多戏剧，但在大学时没有演过戏，所以对试镜很紧张。从来没有演过戏的米歇尔更紧张了。But the two were able to share support and encouragement, running lines together every night during rehearsal, and their friendship deepened.
“Manon是我见过的最善良、最慷慨的人，”Ordoñez说。“She lights up any room she’s in, and she’s not afraid to be goofy and quirky and make people laugh. I think she really sees me for who I am.”
“I think we complement each other,” Michel says. “I’m more of an extrovert, Maria’s more of an introvert. She’s an incredible listener. She makes sure everything you say is heard.”
When the pandemic struck in March 2020, abruptly sending students home to learn remotely, Ordoñez returned to Miami and Michel to her hometown of Tolland, Conn. But they texted and called every couple of days, each checking in to see how the other was doing. “We were there for each other 100 percent,” says Michel. Their regular check-ins helped both deal with the anxiety they felt during the early days of the pandemic. 她说：“我们能够坦诚地说出彼此的感受。”
When the two returned to campus and their Claflin RA positions two floors apart this past fall, they were once again hanging out in their spare time, crafting and pursuing their passion for fashion by visiting local thrift stores. In February, they hatched a plan to wear a different Valentine’s Day outfit for a week, posting photos on their Instagram accounts.
这对朋友说，在过去的一年里，他们看着彼此成长。米歇尔说：“自从我认识她以来，玛丽亚已经进入了领导角色，成为了一个能够成为每个人的基石的人。”“She’s this shimmering personality that everyone gravitates towards…She’s someone you can turn to in any moment.”
“I’ve seen her come into her own strength,” Ordoñez says of Michel.
虽然毕业典礼对许多朋友来说是告别的时刻，但Ordoñez和米歇尔却不用为此担心。Right after graduation, they’ll be moving to an apartment building in Allston, where they’ll live one floor apart. Ordoñez just accepted a position in Philips Global Development program, where she’ll concentrate on the ultrasound market, while Michel will remain at BU for another year, working on a master’s in art education.
“I can’t wait to see how many other lives she changes,” Ordoñez says of her friend.
