What it’s Like When Your Roommate Studies Abroad (Through GIFs!)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Quinnipiac chapter.

For those of you who are missing your roommate/best friend this semester, I feel your pain. Here are some daily thoughts that I’m sure you have experienced as well:

In denial that your best friend is gone.

Coming back to an empty room every day.

Figuring out what to do with yourself during your free time.

When in need of your go-to girl for errands, dinner dates, shopping and random adventures.

Trying to tell inside jokes to people that only you and her would understand.

Trying to make new friends…that just aren’t her.

Finally coordinating a time when you can Skype each other.

Responding to what other people think of us when displaying our love for each other on social media.

When we will finally be reunited.
