12 Things You Miss About Living With Roommates When You're On Break

Going home for the holidays is always exciting. You get to see your family, your dog, your high school best friends. You get to visit all your favorite food places and eat home-cooked meals. After going away to college and moving into your own space though, you realize you miss your new home away from home just as much -- especially the people you live with. Every day and every moment is spent with your roommates, so what happens when we are forced to go without them for three weeks? You are bound to miss these things about living with your bffs when you are spending days apart over the holiday breaks.

1. Raiding their closets.

You went from having three closets of options, to the one suitcase you filled to take back home with you. What the heck are you supposed to wear now?

2. Making everything a musical.

Turns out it is possible to make a song about anything and everything. This makes everything more fun. Without your costars to your daily musical, everything feels dull.

3. Having no one to get ready with.

Who is supposed to tell you your eye shadow is too dark or veto that outfit before going out?

4. Group efforts on text messages.

Great, now you're going to have to over-analyze that text from your crush by yourself.

5. Having someone constantly documenting your life through pictures and videos.

You hate them in the moment for taking that bad picture of you and saving it, but you know it'll be funny to look back on. Mom and Dad won't find the same joy in you taking an embarrassing picture of them and sharing it for the world to see.

6. Invading each other's personal space.

When you're with them, you never get a minute alone. There are no personal boundaries, so what are you going to do now that you have all this freedom? This is weird.

7. Sleepovers.

Because who doesn't love having a sleepover with their best friends every night?

8. Always having someone to control your online shopping habits.

You need someone to tell you you don't need another striped shirt, but now that you're on your own, it's much easier for you to justify it to yourself. Don't worry, they'll reprimand you about it later (even though they will end up wearing it).

9. Constant support.

Sure, you can send them a text in your roommate group chat over break, but it's not the same as having a conversation in person. You miss their pep talks and shoulder to cry on.

10. Having no one to binge-watch Netflix with.

Watching a whole season of "New Girl" in one day doesn't sound as pathetic if you say you didn't do it alone.

11. Always having someone who is willing to get food at all hours of the day with you.

When you're home, you family is probably asleep at 2 A.M. When you're with you roommates, you know they're awake and probably having the same craving for pizza that you are.

12. Laughing at the absolute dumbest things.

Everything is funnier when you're with them.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
