Spring break is almost here and we couldn't be more excited — but leaving school also means parting with your awesome roommate who has been with you every day for the whole semester. Over the last few months, you and your roommate have probably gotten pretty close because, well, you spent A LOT of time together. Here are some of the things you'll miss most about your other half (of the room):
1/16Her closet
What are you going to do for a whole month without two closets of clothes to choose from?
2/16Your late night feasts
Because those slices of pizza at 11 p.m. are absolutely necessary.
3/16Spontaneous dance sessions
There is no better study break than dancing ridiculously and singing horribly.
4/16Being your duet partner
Everyone knows it's way better to scream "Blank Space" as a roomie duet.
5/16She's your workout buddy
Now there’s no one to motivate (force) you to go to the gym.
6/16Her advice and pep talks
From boys, to school, to clothes, she knows it all.
7/16Life talks at 2 a.m.
Because sometimes you just have to ponder the meaning of life at odd hours of the night together.
8/16She's your best study buddy
You two try to make studying fun, if that's even possible.
9/16Random surprises for each other
It’s the little things, right?
10/16__ Texts about strange happenings on campus__
Sometimes the things you hear are unbelievable, but college campuses are always unpredictable.
11/16Lazy movie nights in together
Chick flicks, anyone??
12/16Binge-watching Netflix in your dorm
It’s slightly less pathetic when you don’t have to do it alone.
13/16__ Cuddle sessions while online shopping__
She convinces you that it’s okay to spend all of the money you don’t have.
14/16She approves your outfit choice
She's basically your mirror.
15/16Her weirdness
When you live with someone, you get to know them on a whole new (weird) level.
16/16Getting to see her every day
After spending everyday together for a semester, it's sad to not have your roomie, partner in crime, and best friend around to hang out with even if the separation is just for a couple weeks.
