15 Things That Happen When You're Close With Your Roommate

Going home feels weird because shouldn’t there be another person in the room?

15 Things That Happen When You're Close With Your Roommate
Lea Rose Allbaugh

1. You share something special.


“This is Jerry, our plant child"

2. Your conversations go from deep and philosophical to random in 10 seconds.

“What are the nutritional benefits of melon?”

3. You have weird habits together.

Bedtime means piano music time.

4. Whenever the other one leaves, you get really bored.

*leaves entire story in sticky notes*

5. You are on the same nap schedule.

*Naps so hard that your other roommates think that you guys aren’t home*

5. You eat each other’s food.

*as you are already reaching into the box...*

“Can I have some cheez-it’s?”

6. You eat snacks at the same time so you can feel fat together.

“I’ll have mac & cheese if you do.”

7. You know each other’s routine.

It takes one of you 40 minutes to get ready while the other person takes 15 minutes.

8. You have too many Snapchat pics of each other that could be used as blackmail.

You have a lot of stupid pictures of each other sleeping.

9. You are way too comfortable with each other at this point.

Who needs pants?

10. They are your go-to person whenever you wanna do something ridiculous.

“You wanna do the crazy run down the street?” “duh.”

“Do you want insomnia cookies?” “yea, it’s only 2 am”

11. You have your own language.

Wowarmoemar” (don’t ask)

12. Late night conversations are everything.

Way too many about boys tbh.

13. You know all of their quirks and they know yours.

From drawn out “yessss’s” when she feels accomplished to you calling honeydew “green cantaloupe,” you are both pretty quirky people anyways.

14. They’re your adventure buddy.

Including the time we decided to see Obama speak, that was probably the best.

15. They were your first college friend, and now one of your best friends.

“Kailey I’m hungry again, what should I eat?”

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
