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.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
