The range of emotions one experiences when it's time to operate from your roommates can be wild. So here they all are.

Stage One: Denial

This comes before you are actually separated from your roommates. You spend the last few days together trying to pack it all in. The late-night binge eating, climbing into each other's beds for some last minute cuddle sessions, and posting a Snapchat telling everyone how much you're going to miss them while you're apart. You really can't believe the semester is already over or break is already here. It doesn't matter if you’ll be separated for a week or two months, you can't imaging waking up every morning without them.

Stage Two: The Goodbye

One by one people start to move out of the dorm. You get in your last laughs, last hugs, and the last Snapchats. You promise to talk to each other every day. You're upset to be leaving them, which is ridiculous because you know you're going to see them again.

Stage Three: Coping With Being Apart

This is easily the hardest stage because you’ve become so used to living with these other people. You would run and hop onto their bed to show them the funniest Instagram or talk about what happened the night before. Now that is all done through screenshots and lengthy text messages. We’re lucky to live in a world where Snapchat makes sure we don't forget what they look like.

Stage Four: Sadness

The longer the break goes on, the more you miss your roommates. It's weird that while you're home you have a life that doesn't include them. While you’ve had a great time with your friends from home, you can't help but count the days until you're reunited with your roommates and all the fun you’ll have with them.

Stage Five: Excited

Break is almost over and you are so ready to be back with your roommates. You talk nonstop about old memories and how you can't wait to be back at your favorite places making new ones. You really can't wait for the endless sushi dates, late-night talks and early morning coffee runs.

Stage Six: The Reunion

The second you see your roommates it's nothing but laughs and hugs. You pick back up like no time has passed at all. Now it's good times until you go through all the stages again when it’s time for the next break.
