Making it Matter with Gunnar Esiason and Julia Rae

Health & Fitness


Julia and I invited on a couple of our old college roommates, Carmen Gatta and Miranda Borkan, on the podcast so they could give their perspective on living with someone who has CF. Carmen lived with me for three years, my sophomore, junior and senior years at BC. I met Carmen my freshman year when he lived across the hall from me and my buddy from high school, David. I felt that I wanted as typical a college experience as possible, and for that reason I lived with roommates all four years of school, including my freshman and sophomore years when I had a direct roommate (my friend David from high school). Julia on the other hand had a little bit different of an experience. She went into the roommate pool her freshman year and was assigned a suite with random roommates. So while she didn't have a direct roommate, she shared a living space with three people she hadn't met prior to enrolling into Fordham University. Miranda was one of those roommates and turned out to be one of her best friends!
