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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
