Things I'll miss (and some I won't)

This past Saturday night my roommates and I had a "heart-to-heart crying night." This consisted of us eating pints of ice cream (or gelato, if you're Natalie...just getting ready for Italy I suppose...) and watching sad movies: P.S. I Love You, When Harry Met Sally (which is not actually sad...just cute), and Away We Go. While watching P.S. I Love You, the movie panned over Ireland quite a few times. If I wasn't already crying, which I probably was, I started crying more. I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful it is and the fact that I'm going to physically be there for close to 5 months. This naturally made me very sentimental.
As the semesters end is rapidly approaching, I can't help but think about all the things (and people) I'm going to miss during the second semester. I stole the idea for this from my roommate Cece and I think it's a good one. I'll periodically update it whenever I think of something new and exciting.

Without further ado, my list of things and people I will miss:

1) Room 291 and all its glory
2) The people who inhabit room 291: Cece, Natalie, & Alexis, otherwise known as some of my best friends.
3) Seeing Kelly and Laura all the time, a couple more of my best friends (Not so much Kelly though because I WILL see her all the time...IN IRELAND!!!)
4) CAROLINE (because I told her she would be on my list with her name in caps but also because I will miss her!)
5) The senior saxes and the fact that I won't be here for their last semester on campus
6) The sax section in general and anything having to do with them
7) Broomball playoffs (except for the fact that we don't have a team this year...lame. Next year!)
8) The Office and Glee nights with the roomies
9) Procrastinating homework by doing things like: stealing an obscene amount of toilet paper, sticking it in our clothes, and sumo wrestling.
10) ND hockey games & trips
11) The last stall in the bathroom in my hall, also known as the big one with the heater in it. (I feel like that heater would be awesome on a cold morning in February...)
12) Watching movies with subtitles
13) Waking up in the middle of the night and hearing someone snoring or talking to themselves
14) Cheese time
15) Talking about Stewart to...everyone.
16) Striped polo shopping with Natalie...
17) Making my roommates feel awkward (which happens the majority of the time...they secretly like it)
18) Participating in tomfoolery with Cece while the other two judge us.
19) Watching "Hercules," the most underrated Disney movie, whenever possible with people who appreciate it just as much as I do
20) The last band dance in the College Football Hall of Fame
21) Snow
22) Being able to go see my sister at a moments notice
23) Being on the same continent as my parents/family (Guess that means you're just going to have to visit!!)
24) Alexis' fiery red hair
25) Alexis' obsession with playing with everyone's hair
26) Spring break at home and the friends I would see during that time (Dream Team!)
27) Band Futbol
28) Running around the ND lakes in the Spring
29) Saint Mary's in general
30) The Man Wall
31) Omega, Cece's beta fish
32) Dining Halls (ND & SMC since in Ireland I have to feed myself. Yikes.)
33) Saying we're going to pull an all-nighter, but only lasting until 3am.


Now for some things I will absolutely NOT miss:
1) Walking to class in the snow
2) Walking to class in -35 degree wind chill
3) Cleaning snow off my car EVERY. DAY.
4) Leggings as pants

It seems the things I'll miss heavily outweigh the things I won't...however, I expect this trip to be totally worth it.
