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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
