Living together through it all, you'll never be as close to anyone as your college roommate. Whether it's a wild night out, a late-night study session, or a Netflix and ice cream binge, the two of you are pretty much inseparable. Your roommate becomes your go-to for just about everything-- surprising you with your favorite snacks, telling you when it's time to shut off the tv and be productive, and, of course, picking you up when she knows you need it most. So when you head home all alone for winter break, it can be hard to readjust to life without your person just a few feet away. Here's some of the things you'll miss most about your roommate this break...

1. The Pep Talks

Your roommate knows it's best to be brutally honest. You'll miss her daily encouragement to go to the gym, to class, the library, and everything in between.

2. Cooking Together

Part of the fun of living together is being able to cook fun meals. Making your own lunch at home is just not the same.

3. Their Closet

Arguably the best thing about living with a roommate is having double the clothes! You'd be lying if you said you didn't wish you had that one top of hers this break.

4. Surprising You With Your Favorite Things

With your roommate always looking out for you, she tends to pick up your favorites while at the store. There's nothing like coming home after a long day of class to a Coke Zero already waiting for you in the fridge!

5. The No Judgment Zone

No matter how stupid it may be, your roomie is always there to listen and offer advice. You'll miss always being able to show her your outfit, vent about your day, and ask her to edit the text you're writing.

6. The Little Things

When you're living with someone in such small quarters, the smallest things really do make the biggest difference. It won't be the same without watching tv together, having her straighten that piece of hair you can't reach, talking about your days, and all your inside jokes too.

7. Your Partner In Crime

She's the first face you see every morning, and the last face you see every night. You'll miss life with your roomie and be counting down the days until the two of you are back!

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!

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.
