TFW You Realize You Actually Miss Your Weird Roomies

After the months of torture that the spring semester has imposed on us, spring break is spaghetti for the soul (if you don’t like spaghetti, then A: it’s like Nutella for the soul, and B: what is wrong with you). You can sleep forever, eat all the food, and catch up on all the Netflix you missed (jk, you haven’t missed any Netflix. You’ve been watching Netflix 4 hours a day). Basically, it’s all fun and games—until you start missing your dorm roomies. Sure, they might be a bit of a nightmare, but they also happen to be quirky, wonderful weirdos who you’ve grown to like over the course of the school year. If you find yourself missing their presence over spring break, consider sending one of the following texts:

1. I actually miss those excruciatingly off-pitch renditions of Justin Bieber songs that you usually belt out when I’m trying to study.

2. I couldn’t sleep last night because your fan wasn’t blowing frigid air directly at  my face and drying out my eyeballs.

3. Believe it or not, I kinda wish you would magically appear in my house and eat all my snacks without asking, then refuse to buy me replacement snacks. That’s, like, our special thing.

4. My eyes need to readjust to an environment that is not completely covered by half-eaten containers Ramen. I’m not handling the transition well, brah.

5. Remember when I told you to stop playing your clarinet in the middle of the night? Yeah, I take that back

6. I yearn to hear the sound of you mouth-breathing while you crunch potato chips.

7. I haven’t tripped on your longboard in a whole week. My shins feel uncomfortably un-bruised.

8. I hate to admit it, but I laugh on the inside when you interrupt my weekly phone call with my parents by shouting stuff like “OH MY GOD, THAT IS A GIANT PENIS BALLOON!” and “GENIUS IDEA: LET’S GO SLED OFF THE ROOF OF THE SCIENCE BUILDING!”

9. I never thought I’d say this, but I miss your tornado-siren of a phone alarm going off at all hours of the night and day, but especially at 3 AM, right when I’ve finally fallen into a peaceful slumber.

10. Dude, it’s been so weird not hearing you and your SO squeak on your bed all night. The sound was strangely comforting. JK, I NEVER WANT TO HEAR IT AGAIN AND JASON IS FORTHWITH BANNED FROM OUR ROOM.

Do you get along with your roomies, or are they ACTUAL MONSTERS? Do you think you’ll miss them during spring break?
