What Happens When You Go Away For Spring Break With Your Roommates

Kailey Long

Spring break is usually spent partying somewhere warm and fun or spent catching up on some sleep and relaxing from the stress school has put on you. This week my roommates and I decided to fly down to Florida to visit one of the girls' parents. I knew it would be a nice trip just to get out of the cold and spend some more times with my friends, but what I didn't know is how much closer it would actually bring us.

What happens when you go away with your roommates for a week is endless nights of staying up until 4am, crying to one another about how thankful you are for each other. And everyday, blaring the only five songs you guys will listen to, the loudest it can possibly be, while laying out and soaking in every ray of sun.

You will grow so close with your best friend's sisters and you will feel like you've been apart of this family your entire life. You'll go out for every meal and leave your number for the waiter just to make your friends laugh. You will talk about the boys who make you cry and the boys who make your heart so full it hurts. You'll play would-you-rather for hours and learn stupid, little things about each other. You'll realize that these girls were put into your life for a reason and you wouldn't want to change anything you did in the past because every action leading up until now has led you to these girls.

I already knew these girls were my best friends, but being forced to spend every minute of every day with them brought us closer than I could have ever imagined. I am even more thankful for the people that are put into my life today because I know they are people that truly care about me and want to be in my life. Just when you think you've got nothing left, take a look around. There are people out there that will make you want to stay up until 4am, laughing and crying until you can't breathe anymore. Look for those people and keep them close.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
