10 Things You Hate To Admit That You Miss About Your Roommates Over Winer Break
Samantha Allen

They drive you crazy while you are at school but once you are at home for long periods of time you can’t help but miss them. Roommates are the family that you get to choose to live with during arguably one of the most stressful times in your life.

They’ve seen you literally at your worst and love you anyways. As excited as we all are to go home and get a home-cooked meal and sleep in our own beds, leaving our roommates behind really does suck. You even begin to miss some of their annoying qualities, though you will never admit it.

  1. You miss constantly having someone to talk too. Even though sometimes the only way anyone can have a conversation is through complaining, you miss hearing about their day.
  2. You basically live with the unofficial fashion police. Whether it’s for going out or just to go to class, they are your on hand fashion police to tell you if your clothes actually match or if that shirt really does look as bad as you think it does.
  3. Having someone to watch annoying talk shows with in between class. Because we all hate The View, but none of us have the heart to change it.
  4. Being able to walk upstairs if you're bored. One of the biggest things that suck about being home is having to drive to see your friends. At least at school, you can just walk into the next room and snuggle up on someone else's bed and hang out.

  5. The constant yelling conversations. Because someone doesn’t want to get up from the couch, or the awkward yelling back and forth through the bathroom door, there is always a loud pitched conversation going on somewhere.
  6. The lack of privacy. Actually no, no one misses this. But it does make for some funny stories.
  7. You don’t have just your closet to choose from when it comes to getting ready. Basically there are multiple other closets full of shoes, shirts, jeans and jewelry that are waiting at your fingertips. (because you know 9/10 times the owner of the clothing is going to let you borrow it anyways)

  8. Having your own personal hair and makeup artist on hand. Why curl your own hair or do your own smokey eye when someone else can do it for you?
  9. Always having someone there to fix a problem. Whether it’s what you should text back to a guy, how to fix the crisis that is your hair, or fixing someone’s outfit for the tenth time, there is always someone there to help.
  10. You don’t have to do anything by yourself. Need to go to the store? Take a roommate. Want to eat in the dining hall? Take a roommate. Want to go to Dunkin? Take a roommate. Want to go out? Take a roommate. You get the picture.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
