If you're anything like me, Christmas break is a win-lose situation. You get to see your family, your pets, and your home friends and you get to eat home cooked food, drive your car, and take a shower without shoes, which are all "wins".
But, Christmas break means 4 weeks without your college friends, freedom, and your roommate, which is a total "lose." As much as I love being home, I'm already itching to go back to school for another semester. My roommate and I talk about it almost constantly, and I'm sure you and your roommates do too. Here are 17 texts you send your college roommate over Christmas Break.
1. Answer your phone I'm bored.
2. Watch this movie/ TV show/ youtube video
With all of this new free time, you finally can start binge-watching all of the movies and shows you didn't get to watch because you were studying. Since you can't watch them together, you send all of your faves to your roommate so you can talk about them together.
3. Can we go to _________ when we get back?
Whether it's a restaurant, excursion, or store, you already are making plans for when you return to school.
4. How many days till we go back?
Did I mention I was bored?
5. Shit, I left my ________ at school!
Realizing you left your makeup brushes, your favorite sweatshirt, or your computer charger is the worst
6. Do we have to buy our books for next semester soon?
Oh yeah, we have to go back to class soon...
7. I forgot what showering without shoes felt like
Your first shower at home is a magical experience that you know your roommate will relate to
8. Tell your parents I miss them
Their family is your family and you miss them too
9. Why do I miss dining hall food?
Though nothing compares to home cooked meals and your favorite restaurants at home, you still find your self-craving your favorite foods to eat on campus
10. I miss my bed
Maybe it's the expensive mattress cover I have at school, or the small, cozy dorm but my bed at home is nowhere near as comfortable as my bed at school
11. I miss you
After spending every day together, going more than a few hours apart is painful
12. I wish we were snuggling in our dorm
The best part of life with a roommate is having a built-in sleepover every night and someone to cuddle with after a long day
13. I wish you didn't live so far
A 2-minute walk turned into an 8-hour drive, RIP.
14. Let's buy plane tickets to go on vacation together for spring break
Because this break was too long apart, you know you can't do it again
15. You'll never guess who texted/Snapchatted me
Being apart means missing out on all of the drama. Whether it's a dicey message from someone at school or someone at home, it has to be shared instantly.
16. Why won't _______ text/Snapchat me?
Sometimes you need your BFF to remind you that that boy sucks or that girl never was your friend
17. New year/ New semester, NEW US
With a new semester and a new year approaching, it's time to reflect on the past semester and everything that you two want to do differently this coming year. Cheers to a new year filled with new memories, good or bad.
