When Your Old Roommate Comes To Visit

You basically just go back in time

When Your Old Roommate Comes To Visit

We lived together for two years. Freshman year and Sophomore year. We were super close and I knew I could go to her for anything (especially food, she were always prepared). Then end of Sophomore year one day, I was in our room and she came in and were really upset, I asked what's wrong, and you told me you were transferring. I was shocked, I mean she talked to me about it in like September, but it was April.

It was the best decision for her. There is no doubt about that at all. But that doesn't mean that we didn't miss living together and seeing eachother every day.

Now, lets flash forward. It is now the semester after she transferred. After literally trying to find a time for her to come up all semester, it finally works out. She comes up the last weekend of the semester. She finally gets here and, surprise surprise, it as if she has been here all semester. You automatically click and go on about what has been happening since you last seen eachother, which is ironic cause you talk almost every day.

Then you slide back into doing what you use to, saying hi to all the other people you were both friends with, who all say it is a flash back to when you both lived together. Which it really was.Then you sit on the couch and watch a bunch of movies (one comedy and three rom coms to be exact) in one hour and just BS while you complain about life till 6am.

When you go to school close to the city like I do, you obviously take a trip to the city and do all the things you always talked about doing, but never did cause you lived together. And, if you are anything like me and my old roommate, you miss 4 trains in one day. But you enjoy every minute of it.

Then she has to leave, and it is weird. Because even though she has been there for only a few days, it feels like she was always there. But you say goodbye, then reflect about how much you actually miss freshman year and sitting in your Residence Hall with all your friends randomly just walking into your room. When you weren't stressed about finals and making sure you were taking enough credits to be the correct year.

But then you know you got to study cause it's finals week, yet you don't regret not studying all weekend because it was a great weekend, and you miss her.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
