When the end of the year comes around in college, it means a lot of things: Studying, doing finals, crying, binge eating, binge Netflixing while avoiding finals, and moving out of the dorm. Moving out is something I know I always put off until the last minute because it's actually kind of hard to leave your home. Moving back into your parents' house or moving out into the *sigh* real world. Your little fortress you've made will be gone, and so will your roommate.

Maybe you and your roommate were great friends or maybe you hated each other, but one thing is for sure: you'll most likely miss them, but not in the yearning kind of way you may miss a lover. After going through a couple of years of college and a couple of roommates to boot, I've collected some of the weird ways I miss my roomies after our time is up. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way!

1. Raiding their closet.

During the school year, you get bored wearing the same leggings and t-shirt, so you just walk across the room to your roommate's closet and grab something else. If you're invited to a theme party and need a cute outfit ASAP, what do you do? Go to your roomie's closet. This can be for anything from shoes to shorts and even to bras! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, amirite?

2. Crying about anything.


Your roommate lives with you, so you guys have to get comfortable with them. They understand things that upset you and are always prepared to listen to I have cried harder to my roommates than I have too many of my friends. It's easy to be vulnerable to them because they are neutral (until someone breaks your heart and they have to kick their butt) and won't judge you.

3. Late night food runs... or anything about food in general.



"...you hungry?" "Yeah." "Taco Bell?" "Hell yeah!" A good roomie is always game for chicken nuggets or Dorito tacos!

When you get to know each other's class schedules, you know they'll always come through with the coffee or breakfast because you'll do the same for them!

4. Talking about weird AF stuff.

Whether you're creeping your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend on Twitter or you need someone to inspect a curious zit on your back, your roommate is always there to tell you you're not being weird! (Even though we all know you're being weird AF... But you're there for her when she's being weird AF too so it's OK!!)

5. Midnight heart to hearts.


When it's time to get real and you're having the worst day EVER, your roommate is the one who is there to listen. Maybe you're bitching about that annoying thing she does or you're feeling guilty about something. You can talk to her about the things that scare you and she'll always help you come to an understanding so you can both get some damn sleep.

No matter how excited you are to go back home at the end of the year, something will feel like it's missing. Whether you were best friends or simply acquaintances, you lived with them for a year and it's gonna be weird not living with them. So to my past and future roomies, I love you, I miss you, and I'm thankful to be weird with you!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.
