All of the earth’s animals hibernate, whether to stay warm and conserve energy throughout the winter or to avoid making eye contact with a roommate during the two weeks you gave her to pack up and vacate. Sleep peacefully with this guide to hibernating animals:

Squirrels: As temperatures drop, squirrels instinctively begin hoarding nuts for the winter, like a sensible creature that can provide for itself. What would be really nuts would be it cramming its home with something useless, such as old bicycle parts and stacks of newspapers that it claims will one day be turned into “3-D collages” for an upcoming “gallery show.”

Bears: Noble giants of the forest, bears are capable of waiting out the winter by sleeping for months at a time—not unlike certain people’s roommates who are somehow able to sleep through entire five-hour windows in the middle of the day even though the Internet guy is coming by. Bears are also known to take the food of others as their own.

Bats: These nocturnal mammals often make their nest somewhere warm, such as someone else’s house, even though they’re not welcome, and neither is their Austrian boyfriend whose refusal to get his own place made a lot more sense once you found out they were secretly married.
