Why You Should Never Hookup With Your Roommate

10. The endless amount of awkward silences. It’s normal to feel guilty or shameful when hooking up with someone. It completely sucks when you have to live with them afterward. Every time you have to use the bathroom, want to make a sandwich, or walk out of the door you have to slide past the mistake you made. 9. It’s a viscous cycle.

It is always fun to gather around the television at midnight watching the ball drop, counting down the seconds until the start of the new year. The best part is looking around and realizing the similarities or differences that have been made since the last time you counted down the ball drop. However, the celebration is not all that is cracked up to be. Here are 10 reasons why the sparkly dresses and weird “Happy New Year” crowns are totally overrated. 10. You are probably not going to meet your soulmate. Movies romanticize everything including New Year’s celebrations. The Troy and Gabriella set up is likely one in a million.

8 Bad Habits We Get Into Over Winter Break

Ahhhh… Alas! Winter break has finally arrived and we’re all stoked! A month off of everything can be pretty refreshing. For well, one whole month and we definitely get into some bad habits along the way. Not saying we lose our bad habits that we bring back and forth to school, but coming home from the first semester and going on break for a month introduces us to some new bad habits. Obviously once the spring semester kicks in these bad habits will eventually break, but for now they’re stuck with us for a month. 8. Poor eating- Sure, you’re not living on microwave food and late night McDonalds all the time, but you definitely pig out more.. Especially on the junk food, while watching Netflix. 7. Sleeping in- Sleeping in well past 10 am is daily occurrence now. 6. Skipping the gym- You feel like you have nobody to
