The 5 Stages Of Missing Your Roommates Over Break

Avery DePaola

It's that time of year again! The semester has come to a close and we are all home for winter break. Winter break is a great time to relax and recharge before the upcoming semester, but if you're like me, it can get kind of lonely. So here are my stages of missing my roommates.

1. The goodbye

You all say your goodbyes as your finals end and you are excited to go home and see your respective families. You know you will miss each other, but it hasn't quite set in yet.

2. Enjoying your alone time

If you're like me, you need alone time every once in awhile. I love my roommate, but there's not much privacy in a 10x9 box. This is your time to walk around your room naked, shower without shoes, and do everything you're not usually able to do while at college.

3. Boredom

The novelty of being home for the holidays has worn off and you realize how nice it is to always have people to talk to.

4. The feels

Your friends at home don't understand the inside jokes that you and your roommates share. You find that you're explaining yourself when you're talking about them. You find yourself texting them that you miss them, looking back at old pictures, and remembering the times you all experienced together. You can't wait to see them again, because FaceTime is not doing it justice.

5. The reunion

After all of the excitement of Christmas, you're ready to go back to college. You realize how much you appreciate having your roommates around and you never want to leave them again.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
