The 5 Stages Of Missing Your Roommates Over Break
Avery DePaola

It's that time of year again! The semester has come to a close and we are all home for winter break. Winter break is a great time to relax and recharge before the upcoming semester, but if you're like me, it can get kind of lonely. So here are my stages of missing my roommates.

1. The goodbye

You all say your goodbyes as your finals end and you are excited to go home and see your respective families. You know you will miss each other, but it hasn't quite set in yet.

2. Enjoying your alone time

If you're like me, you need alone time every once in awhile. I love my roommate, but there's not much privacy in a 10x9 box. This is your time to walk around your room naked, shower without shoes, and do everything you're not usually able to do while at college.

3. Boredom

The novelty of being home for the holidays has worn off and you realize how nice it is to always have people to talk to.

4. The feels

Your friends at home don't understand the inside jokes that you and your roommates share. You find that you're explaining yourself when you're talking about them. You find yourself texting them that you miss them, looking back at old pictures, and remembering the times you all experienced together. You can't wait to see them again, because FaceTime is not doing it justice.

5. The reunion

After all of the excitement of Christmas, you're ready to go back to college. You realize how much you appreciate having your roommates around and you never want to leave them again.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
