10 Things That Happen When Your Roommates Go Out Of Town

Your roommates are all going home for vacation and you're staying behind. Besides missing them like crazy, you're probably glad to get some privacy, have time to relax, and get back into your groove before school starts up again. Though before all that happens, there may be some things that will probably happens they aren't around and to be honest, you shouldn't feel guilty about it... as long as the apartment is back to its normal state before they get back.

1) Two words. Dance party.

There's nothing like having a solo dance party. You can crank up the volume on all your guilty pleasure jams, dance like a maniac, and sing at the top of your lungs with no one there to give you weird looks.

2) Ditching all forms of normal human manners and eating straight from the fridge.

For some reason, your dishes just start to pile up so quickly that you start resorting to eating right from the source. No one's around to judge you so why not?

3) And of course not doing the dishes or taking the trash out until the night before they come back.

When you suddenly only have 30 minutes to clean before someone gets home, the motivation to clean is suddenly there. They'll never know the difference if you make sure the place looks exactly as it did before they left.

4) Being pants free 99% of the time.

Aww, you're missing your roommates but... It's big shirts and no pants from here on out until they come back.

5) Peeing with the door open.

One less thing to worry about.

6) Unleashing your laziest habits, like purposefully leaving the cupboard cabinets open or leaving all your things in the living room.

You've already decided that these next couple of days aren't going to be spent worrying about picking up after yourself so feel free to just revel in your own filth.

7) Talking to yourself.

For some reason, the lack of other humans around you just causes you to make up for it by talking to yourself or narrating everything you do. We don't know exactly why we do it, but we also know it doesn't really bother us.

8) Looking through your roommates' closets and wishing you had their wardrobe.

You are so, so tempted to try on their clothes because now, really looking at their wardrobe and comparing it to yours, you just don't have enough stuff.

9) Still, after a few days of not cleaning and being pants-free, you begin to miss them like crazy.

You've had your fun but now it's time for them to get back and keep you company. They're your roommates and, honestly, you wouldn't give up all the times they've been there to make you laugh and endure your being boy-crazy for anything. You're probably already making plans with them to make up for lost time.

10) And, finally, you realize how much of your social interaction is just with them.

They are the people you see every day and you wouldn't have it any other way. For me, one minute, I could be studying in the living room and the next, my roommates and I are just sitting on someone's bed and talking about everything.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
