The 10 Emotional Stages Of Your Roommate Leaving For The Weekend
Hannah Reynolds

1. "I have the room all to myself"

The first stage is the easiest, this is the stage where it hasn't hit you that you are by yourself for the weekend. In this stage, you are excited to "have the house to yourself" for the whole weekend.

2. Get everything done.

The second stage is where you realize you need to actually do some homework instead of binge-watching "Shameless" for the third time. Without the peer pressure of hanging out with your roommate and going to get food like you always do together, you are able to realize how much attention your biology homework needs.

3. "Wait, now what do I do?"

Now, this is the stage where it starts to hit you that it will be 2 whole days until you see your roommate again...

4. Go out with your other friends.

So by this stage, you've already gone through the initial realization that you're alone for the weekend so you decide to hang out with your other friends for a change.

5. Watch movies.

The fifth stage usually happens on a Saturday when you've done everything you wanted to do and you're now stuck in the dorm for another day alone because let's be honest, you don't go outside unless you have to.

6. Check the time

This is the point in the weekend that you have been watching movies all day long and honestly don't know if it's Saturday or Sunday.

7. Count down the hours

Okay, by now you're just ready to have something to do so you calculate approximately how long it will be before your roommate decides to come back to you.

8. Look through the peephole

At this point in the weekend, you're so desperate that every time you hear someone walk past your door with their keys rattling you assume it's your beloved roommate and rush to the peephole only to find out its another frat guy walking down your hall.

9. Wait some more

10. The moment you've been waiting for.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
