It's hard to imagine what it would be like without your roommate until summer vacation comes along. When you're like two peas in a pod, being multiple miles way from each other is saddening.
1. Crawling Into Bed With Them
Whether you were having a bad day or just needed a cuddle session. Your roomie's bed was always welcoming. Being alone in your own bed is not as comforting.
2. She Was Your Second Mom
She may not have be real your real mom, but she was always their to tell you from right and wrong, help you decide what to wear, tell you who not to talk to, buy you things (usually food) just because, and cheer you up when you were sad.
3. You Shared Everything
When you come home from school, it's a weird feeling having all your stuff to yourself. It's almost too weird, it feels wrong. "Why is there still a whole bag of popcorn here?", "None of my clothes are missing?". You realize you don't have to share anything anymore, yet you don't know if you like that or not.
4. No Judgements
They could have done something completely crazy, but you would never judge because usually you're doing it with them.
5. Sarcasm Was Always Present
Some people hate sarcasm. But it was part of your every day conversations. It's not the same over text messages and no one else understands.
6. Inside Jokes
Of course you had inside jokes. But seeing each other's reactions and funny accents were the best parts of the jokes. Being so far apart honestly, ruins the joke.
7. Waiting For Their Reaction To The Text You Just Sent Them
You would text each other in public, trying to make the other laugh. You would sit and keep looking at their face waiting for their reaction, trying not to ruin it. Not seeing their face every time you text them something funny is almost heartbreaking.
8. No One Keeps You Quite As Motivated
When you were feeling blue, they were always there to push you, to pick you back up, to wipe away the tears. Something as silly as eating a salad with you instead of pizza because you wanted to look good, even if it was just for a day. They were there.
9. Not Being Able To Sing Your Heart Out Together
Your favorite song to sing together comes on the radio while you're driving or jamming in your room. Looking around and not seeing them there kills you, so naturally you skip the song because it feels wrong to enjoy it without them.
10. They Knew You Better Than You Know Yourself
They could tell by just one look if you were OK or not. If you said you were, they knew if you were lying. It was kind of a blessing in disguise because even if you didn't want to be bothered, they'd send you cute puppy videos to cheer you up.
11. You Don't Realize How Much You'll Miss Them Until They're Not Around
It's summer vacation and you're sitting in your room. Whether you're reading, cleaning, jamming to music, a piece of you is missing. Being all alone in your room you realize, "wow, I miss my roommate."
