12 Things They Never Told You About Losing Your Roommate

When you give a girl a roommate, and then TAKE HER AWAY.

12 Things They Never Told You About Losing Your Roommate
Turner Russell

All last year, I remember people complaining about roommate conflicts, and the fact that their direct roommate snored, or that they forgot to clean out their leftovers in the fridge. This semester, my roommate decided to take a mental break, and I love and support her for that, but nobody told me all the things I would miss about having a roommate. Here's a list of 10 things that no one will tell you you'll miss when your roommate leaves:

1. The fact that you have someone waiting up for you

If you get home late, nobody cares.

2. Late night dance parties to Panic! At The Disco

3. The comfort of hearing them breathe loudly (bordering on snoring) when you wake up from a bad dream in the middle of the night.

4. The abundance of shenanigans to put on your Snap Story.

5. Weird bathroom adventures that you really can only have with a roommate.

Who else would let me shave their head when I've never touched an electric razor before?

6. Double the clothing.

I had to actually go shopping today to get new clothes instead of just rummaging through your closet.

7. Someone to talk to when you get really sad at the tail end of your all-nighter studying spree.

8. Road trip buddy


You will now have to go grocery shopping alone. ALONE.

9. Someone to follow you after you run away from your problems.

10. Someone to rant to when that weird guy texts you

again.


11. Someone to get dressed up with.

12. Having someone you know in your court who has got your back, no matter what.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.

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."
