Well, crap. I honestly can't say I've ever been this upset over something like this before.

So it's a fine Saturday night, I just got home from dinner and am playing KQ, in a decent mood but not an amazing mood, when I get a text from my roommate who is currently back at home because, well, obviously it's winter break. She tells me that she's not going to be returning to the Uni for spring semester, that she's transferring to a college closer to home because she doesn't like being so far away, and so on.

I'm pretty torn up right now. This girl pretty much made transitioning to college 100% easier for shy, awkward me. It was so nice to come back to the room after a rough day of classes to talk to someone so understanding, who could relate and comfort me without being awkward about it. Now I'm going to be going back to an empty room.

Sigh. I don't mean to sound selfish. I'm happy she found a situation more suitable for her, and I genuinely hope everything turns out well for her. But this is just very sad to me.

She said she'll come visit, but...I really don't think I'll ever get another amazing roommate like her again. Seriously. She put up with my stupid quirks and everything.

I need to go tell my mom, but I can't stop crying. I know that sounds stupid. I don't even know why I'm crying so hard. This is just...hard.

@metaphor Oh my god that is terrible. I just hope that if you get another roommate, that they'll be nice as well 😊

@Metaphor Oh, I'm so sorry! I know how that hurts. My best friend moved away in 3rd grade, and I didn't quite get over it until she came back to visit last year and remembered me. I hope your next room mate is equally as kind and understanding. I know my sympathy doesn't really help, but I just want you to know that I care.

@whitefire

No, I definitely appreciate your gesture.😊 It's hard having a friend leave, that's for sure. I guess I've never really been so hurt by something like that up until now. I've had friends leave before, but I don't know, it never hit as close to home as it does now. Maybe I should go watch the Arthur episode about this.
"MOM, THERE'S A SINGING MOOSE IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE" always cracks me up, and I could use that right now.😋

@lucky_cricket

Yeah, I almost don't want to stay on campus, but now I have the literary journal to commit to, and their meetings are usually late and my dorm is right next to the building with the office, so for this reason and others it'd just be easier if I stayed. But it'll be hard, that's for sure.☹️

@Metaphor
It's easy to crack me up, when my depression's not acting up. 😋 It's rather funny. In fifth grade, my friend would say "Grass" and I'd laugh my head off. ...Now what does THAT statement have to do with anything? Ooh, I starred a Flipnote that might cheer you up!

...That is, if you like watching people get smacked and such. And if you look up Flareice, that's me.

@metaphor I hope you're feeling a bit better by now?
I know new situations are scary, but you never know right?
Who knows what an amazing new roommate you might get... 😊
New situations can be scary, but they're exciting too!

@metaphor I moved last ear. My dad had to leave before the rest of myfamily and I remember lying on my bed and crying for twenty minutes. I was heartbroken to leave my best froend who i've known since preschool

@metaphor I'm sorry. Dx I know that transitioning is hard when your shy. I am so anti social. You know that anybody on here will help you when your down though! And you can video chat with her if you feel down. 😊

My roommate moved out too, but I was glad. She was selfish and jealous and drank quite a bit. When I had a horrible sinus infection and was bleeding out of my nose profusely (on top of having blurry vision and dizziness) she refused to help me get to the emergency room (she completely ignored me), and my boyfriend - who lives 45 miles away from my dorm - drove to my hall at midnight to take me. The next morning, my roommate got an immediate room change. She failed her math class and possibly her psych class and may be dropping out or going to another university. No skin off my nose - her and her friends are all dropping out or transferring. That's what happens when you treat college like high school.

I haven't had a good roommate yet, but I sympathize with you. Having a good roommate is rare and to lose one is probably one of the worst experiences in college. Hopefully you find someone else who will treat you with respect and give you the space you need without being too distant.

Oh my god I feel soooo bad for you. This post may be short but it should mean alot. Hope you can find a roommate ALMOST as good or even better.
