There are two kinds of students in this world: ones who love their roommates, and ones who are opting to live in a single next semester. Winter break is just the milestone where you find out which kind of person you are. Personally, I’m begging my roommate to come home with me for winter break and live with me forever. For some people, though, they aren’t quite as lucky.

As this break is quickly approaching, I asked some real Miami students for their best and worst roommate stories. Here are some of their stories:

The Good

“My roommate this year threw me a surprise party, and I threw her one too. Neither of us had any idea.” –Female, sophomore

“My roommate once made pumpkin cheesecake bites for the house so that was awesome.” –Female, junior

“She made me lunch and left it on my desk.” –Female, junior

“I drove my roommate to the hospital after he couldn’t breath because of an allergic reaction. He then bought me a boot of Steinkeller's.” Male, sophomore

“Last semester my old roommate got me a Starbucks gift card after I failed my Econ exam.” –Female, sophomore

“I hardly ever went out freshman year. So one of the times that I did, I came back more than a little shambly. She woke up to me coming in and immediately lying on the floor. She sat me up, helped me change and filled my water bottle so I wouldn't die the next day. I said thank you and we never talked about it again.” –Female, sophomore

“He bought me a poster to hang up on my side of the wall.” – Male, sophomore

“She lets me use all her clothes :)” –Female, sophomore

The Bad

“She left for the weekend and called me to say she's moving out.” –Female, sophomore

“She set her alarm for 8 a.m. and continued to snooze it until 9:30am when she finally decided to get out of bed. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP THE WHOLE TIME.” –Female, sophomore

“After coming home at 4 a.m. after a night out, she puked all over my rug and passed out without cleaning it up. She never cleaned it or reimbursed me for it. Classy!”
–Female, sophomore

“Every night I would wake up to the heat being at 99 degrees.” –Male, sophomore

“She yelled at me for not keeping the room clean enough. I had a busy week and she knew that it wasn't my first priority.” –Female, senior

“Let a friend sleep in my bed without my permission, and took my food/drinks without asking.” –Female, sophomore

“Never leaves the damn room. I mean, never. Her Sunday schedule: wake up at 10 a.m. and play video games, update Tumblr and look up creepy pictures until 11 p.m. She doesn't even get food or have a shower. F*cking grosses me out.” –Female, junior

“Turns on the lights in the room and is super loud when she gets ready in the morning before her 8:30 a.m.. She lets the door slam, open and closes her drawers really loud, makes food in the microwave so the beeper goes off. Really inconsiderate with that.” –Female, sophomore

“Woke me up with a blender.” –Female, junior

"Getting wall burritoed - which is when you you get sandwiched in between the wall and your mattress." -Male, sophomore

“My roommate used my computer to watch porn. So for revenge, I told his girlfriend.” –Male, junior

The Ugly

“Kept me up until 4am while he was drunk and throwing up all over himself. Went home to get his tooth (that had been chipped at some point throughout the night) and left half of his vomit-covered sheets in the room all weekend.” -Male, sophomore

“She once brought a stray cat home along with three guys one night.” –Female, junior

“She was a slob and I'm a generally neat person. We discussed that her mess was hers unless it encroached on my things as well, so it wasn't a problem. However, she was on the equestrian team and she would just leave her horse poop-covered boots in the middle of the floor. It was terrible. You could smell our room from halfway down the hall.” –Female, sophomore

“Freshmen year my roommate called be a c**t because I asked her to please go in the hallway to talk on the phone at three in the morning after she had taken calls from a friend for three nights in a row.” –Female, senior

“My roommate decided it would be a good idea to eat in my bed (under the covers and all). Then denied it when I confronted her on it. We're not that close, so to say that I was weirded out was an understatement.” –Female, sophomore

“My freshmen year, I had an international roommate from China. On the day before we had to move out, after a semester of not getting along, she came in to start taking her suitcases out into the hall before she left for the airport. Her side of the room was still a mess; posters still up, half eaten cereal boxes, crap everywhere. I figured she would come back and clean it all up before she left because it was required. She never came back, and I ended up spending three hours cleaning up her side of the room and getting down all the posters. Needless to say, we haven't spoken since.” -Female, sophomore

The Best

“Freshmen year, my roommate mailed me my favorite candy and candle and a home crafted letter decor for our wall over break.” –Female, junior

“Became my sister. My mom, at times. My confidant. My person.” –Female, sophomore

“She drove me to the ER at 3:00 in the morning when I had appendicitis and stayed with me all the way through my surgery until my parents came. I made her fudge to thank her.” -Female, sophomore

“My roommate is literally my best friend. She surprised me with my favorite food on my birthday, left me cute notes every time I was nervous about something (from a date to an exam) and sends me cute cat videos when I'm feeling sad. Also, she cracks me the f*ck up. Love her.” -Female, sophomore

“My roommate freshmen year came out to me, and I was the first person he told because we had grown so close over the year. He was terrified of what I'd think and if I'd want to move out because he thought I “had a right to know". I felt so honored that he felt comfortable enough to tell me and he's still my best friend to this day. That's my best roommate experience.” –Male, junior

Whether you can't wait to beeline it out of Oxford or are bummed to be leaving the person(s) you share a room with, we all have those memorable moments (good or bad) with our roommates, just as they have with us. For me personally, I'm counting down the days until mine visits and we can be under the same roof again, just as long as she doesn't throw up on my rug or wakes me up at 5:30 a.m.
