Throughout college, you're bound to have a number of roommates during the four years. Some roommates you'll like, and some you wont, but none the less, you'll most likely have them. If you're lucky enough to have good roommates, when summer happens, and you're forced to part ways for what seems like three long months, it will be sad because then you'll be apart from your best friends. Although you and your roommates might not get a long all the time, you know you've made some good memories with them over the months/years you've lived together. No matter how much your roommates might annoy you during the school year, it's safe to say that there are definitely certain things you will miss about having them when you're apart from them over summer!
1. Movie Nights
There's nothing like coming home after a long day of school, and just knowing you can unwind in your un-matching PJ's with a pint of Ben n Jerry's. Without being judged, your roommates will be doing the same thing while watching Mean Girls for the infinite time.
2. Cleaning Days
Admit it, some of your best times included blasting loud music while attempting to clean what seemed to be the messiest kitchen in the world. You probably used a dirty spatula as a microphone for lip syncing.
3. Late Night Talks
There is a lot of stress that comes with being a college student, and sometimes the best thing to do when you're stressed, is to vent about it. And who better to listen than your roomies?
4. When They Lend You Food
It's been a month since you've been to the grocery store and you keep saying you'll go "tomorrow" but luckily you have some great roommates who share their food with you so you don't starve.
5. Borrowing Clothes
Even though your closet is over flowing, there is always nothing to wear, so naturally, you ask your roomies if you can borrow their stuff. Depending on how many roommates you have, it's like you have three wardrobes other than your own!
6. Their Reminders
Having college roommates is like having two or three other brains to remind you of the simple things you might forget. They remind you about homework, to wash your sheets, to bring your keys, and most of all, they remind you how great you are. Sometimes you don't know what you would do without them.
It's safe to say that once you go home for summer, none of these things will be the same because it's not like you'll want to be borrowing clothes from your mom. So no matter if you get annoyed with your roommates sometimes, admit it, these are some of the things you will definitely miss about them over summer when you're apart. I know I will!
