Roommates with the TCU Easter Bunny - Uncontrollable Laughter

It was 7 pm after a rainy day in Fort Worth. Four of my roommates and I are spending time hanging out in our family room/kitchen as we each make ourselves dinner. One of my roommates, Harrison, is 23 years old. He transferred to TCU during his sophomore year after spending 1 year at Belmont. Since his credits did not all transfer, he was forced to take an extra semester here at TCU. He was a Biology major, and he graduated in the Fall of 2019. He was recently accepted into Dental school. We are all proud of what he has accomplished.

Harrison only took 9 credit hours in the Fall and found himself with considerable free-time. The rest of my roommates and myself are all seniors at TCU that are taking a full-load of classes. We gave Harrison a hard time during the Fall, and we're all confused about what we would be doing in the spring while the rest of us are taking classes.

He took it upon himself to get any job that would accept him and ended up being hired to be a swim-instructor for children at Fort Worth swim school. It is quite humorous to see your roommate, a recent college graduate, find such a random job as a swim instructor. After graduating from college, it seems like it would only be fair that he could find a well-paying job in a variety of places. However, a Biology degree is quite specialized, and it is seen as a stair-stepper in the ladder of becoming a doctor of some sort in the future.

While he was still teaching swim lessons, he was pursuing various opportunities. Fortunately, he was able to land a job in the Office of Expansion at TCU. We were all incredibly impressed with this accomplishment. The Office of Expansion at TCU has been an enormous part of TCU's success and was surprised that he could land such a unique role. We later came to find out that he was being paid under the Office of Expansion but truly was working for the Office of Admissions – slightly less impressive but still quite impressive.

As we are conversing on this Tuesday night, I inquired about the day-to-day tasks of his new role in the "Office of Expansion." He began the story by discussing how unique it is to be working under the Office of Expansion and really enjoys the job. Harrison mentioned that the role has been exceptional as he has been performing ad-hoc tasks and working on whatever is necessary. He spoke about arranging materials and supplies for an upcoming event and ensuring that an appropriate schedule was made for the event. My other roommate, Chris, asked, "What event?"

Harrison replied, hesitantly, and said, "The TCU Easter Egg Hunt."

My roommates and I burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. We were caught off-guard by the idea that the only full-time employee in our home was spending each day organizing an Easter Egg hunt. He had hyped up his role so much that it was hysterical to hear that he was just spending every day working on an event put on for the children in Fort Worth.

The future Dentist is currently spending 40-hours a week organizing an Easter Egg hunt. The comedy in the scenario is undeniable. Although we try to be encouraging to each other, we were not at this moment. Harrison, we thank you for the laughs.
