Now that you've made it through a hellish finals week, it's time to pack up and head home for a fun-filled summer. Say goodbye to your professors, favorite burrito maker in the cafeteria, and most importantly, your roommate, whom you will miss most of all.

Living with someone for an entire year tends to make people closer (hopefully), especially if you were friends first—and the fact that you haven't killed each other yet is definitely a good sign for more successful roomie-life down the line.

While it's sad to bid farewell to your roommate for the next few months, you can't help but get excited about having a room to yourself again.

You then start to imagine all the things you can do once you are finally alone...

...until you get home and quickly realize that you're not as adventurous as you thought.

That being said, it does feel nice to have a place to yourself, but that happiness and alone time is short-lived as you start to miss your roomie faster than you thought.

In the beginning, there are the little things that remind you of them, whether it's a movie or a bumper sticker, and it drives you crazy that you can't see them every day.

You then casually stalk them to make sure they aren't having too much fun without you.

...and if they are, you start to post anything and everything that is going on in your life in order to level the playing field.

The language you and your roommate had established has also made its way into your daily vernacular and no one in your family seems to understand...

...until they try to...

...and it just makes it worse.

They're also not as supportive as your roomie was about your college life eating habits ...

...or your overall health habits for that matter.

Besides the general sadness of missing your roommate, you've also noticed that your roomie is no longer there to stop you from making incredibly bad and impulsive decisions—texting them just takes up too much time, and you are acting fast whether they answer or not...

...which ultimately doesn't end well for you.

You know your roomie withdrawal is really bad when you start to miss the things they did that annoyed you the most. Who would've thought that their constant snoring had actually turned into a comfort for you?

Although they're not completely gone with the use of texting, FaceTime, social media, etc., it's still not the same as seeing them every day.

Thankfully in a few short months, you will be united again, and it will be as if nothing changed.

**Special thanks to my roomie for dealing with me all year!
