The end of the semester is quickly approaching. It is now time to start taking down room decorations and handing in final papers.
With the stress of studying for final exams, one thing that does not seem to cross everyone’s mind is leaving roommates for the summer.
Being so wrapped up with schoolwork and socializing throughout the year, we tend to not even think about our rooming situation. Having a roommate becomes a norm and a big part of our daily lives. It can be difficult getting used to the transition of moving home for the summer.
I personally get along great with my roommates. It is hard leaving them and the room we live in because it has grown to be our home. My roommates have been my friends since freshman year and we usually get the opportunity to hang out over the summer.
However, it is nice to have a break from living with a roommate. In some cases, too much time spent living together can be too much to handle.
By the end of the year we can point out our roommates habits that we do not like because we are becoming tired of them. A summer break is a nice way to rejuvenate and get ready for the fall semester.
Saying goodbye to the people you lived with, especially if they are close friends, can be quite difficult. As long as you try to stay in touch and see each other from time to time, it is not that bad.
