It takes a while to adjust to college and before you know it, it’s time to go home again. Our roommates are our first college friends (or enemies) while we’re at school. Despite it all, there are still many things that we will miss about our roommates when we return home for six weeks.
For one, we will miss their honesty. Who at home will give us an honest opinion about what we wear, what choices we should make, and tell us if we are out of line? Secondly, we will miss having someone to talk to that understands the names of other students, and the situations and drama we’ve encountered over the last three months. We will miss having that person to vent to and explain all of our stresses to because they know exactly what to say.
They’ve been your person through thick and thin. You’ve borrowed each other’s clothes, and you’ve stolen each other’s food. We have had our times of weakness, and our times of strength, but through it all, we couldn’t thank them enough for being our family away from home. We thank them for demonstrating a level of support and for knocking sense into us. We will miss their advice on how to handle situations that were academically and socially related when we were too worked up to help ourselves.
We need to thank our roommates for the times where drama was occurring and they’d back us up, while also being able to tell me the times when we were wrong. We will miss them showing us our self-worth on the days when we are struggling and they motivate us even when we don’t want to hear it. We will miss having meals with them, because for the past three months they have showed their love for food as much as we do. We will miss them because they are the sisters we’ve never had.
We will miss them for accepting us at our best and worst, and pushing us to accomplish our goals. The next six weeks will go by faster than we know.
