This is what happens when your roommate is gone for the weekend

Almost everyone on campus has a roommate no matter if they were randomly selected or found on a Facebook group.

While some of us love them, and others have roommates from hell – nevertheless we can all agree that we love when we can have a little alone time in our small boxes we now call home.

Here’s all we all really want to do when we have just a few days of privacy.

Bare all to the world

For the last couple weeks you’ve been going through that weird routine of undressing very quickly in the corner or even making that horrible trip to the bathroom in order to keep your bits to yourself.

Well now you can be free, take it all off and even do a strut in your room cause you are free to be naked! Just make sure both the door is locked and the window shade is drawn – unless you’re into that kind of thing.

Dance your heart out

If you’re like me, you have the dancing ability of a baby giraffe, so you keep your dance moves pretty much hidden. However, now that there isn’t an audience – GO WILD. Practice your booty dancing or even your waltz, I won’t judge – and neither will your roommate.

Netflix and Chill

Some of us want some alone time with that hottie in our chem class, but don’t have the privacy to make it happen. Now that you don’t have to have the awkward ‘can you please leave’ conversation with the roommate, or even worse, the roomie walking in on you, you can Netflix and chill in peace.

‘Enjoy’ yourself

Tickle the pickle, adjusting the antenna, beat the meat, buff the chicken, jerking off. Whatever you want to call it, now you have the privacy to do it.

Be a complete slob

If you’ve got a neat freak roommate than you’ve been waiting for the moment that you can leave your underwear and socks on the ground without an angry scowl or nasty comment.

Just remember to clean up before they get back.

Play whatever music you like

Have a roommate who constantly needs silence to study? Then this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Feel free to blast your music and sing along cause no one’s studying in your room.

Read a book

Roommate never shut up about their partying, exams, or dating life long enough to get in a couple pages of your dreaded English book? Now you can finish your whole novel without a single interruption.

Cry

About your life, or just a sad movie. If you’re not comfortable enough with your roommate to show real emotion, go get the tissues cause no ones watching.

Eat junk food

Feel guilty when you’re roommate is eating salads and heading to the gym while you want to eat pizza in bed? Take this weekend to eat pizza in bed. Naked, if you want – literally no one cares.

Use their cool stuff

As long as you’re being discrete, your roommate’s stuff basically belongs to you now. Girls, try out that new liquid eyeliner, and guys, try not to beat their high score.

Talk to yourself

Ever want to just have a conversation out loud but can’t because your roommate will call health services on you? Feel free to talk it up because the only people listening are the voices in your head.

Have friends over

For once you can vent about your roommate, or talk about your personal life without them watching over like a hawk. Both you and your friends can take advantage of this privacy – just try to keep the noise down, don’t want to get the police involved.
