<p>I move back into my dorm tomorrow. My now "old roommate" texted me saying that she won't be sharing a dorm with me anymore. Instead she's moving in with her other friend down the hall. We were never great friends. But I do admit I'm pretty disappointed. I really don't want to live all alone this semester. I hate living alone. I asked one of my other friends if they want to dorm together this semester but she said not until next fall because she doesn't want to leave her roommate to live all alone. My question is how to deal with this situation? I know I'm acting like I lost my soulmate. But for the first 2weeks of last semester I was roommate-less and I hated it. I felt so alone. Advice?</p>
<p>Hang out in others’ rooms. You’ll get into the swing of it. Maybe leave your door open when you’re in the room and make it inviting, if that’s OK with the dorm folks.</p>
<p>You might not be alone for long… others students might be looking for housing, or may want to get away from their roommate. If you’re feeling lonely, leave your door open, go visit your neighbors, invite some friends over, etc. Maybe you can find a friend who feels neutral about their roommate and get them to move in with you. You’ll figure it out. :)</p>
<p>The room will more than likely fill up with another student(possibly a transfer) in need of housing. Until then enjoy having a single!!!</p>
<p>If you are feeling lonely, I would recommend attending the Spring Club Fair and becoming more active on campus. This way you will be constantly busy with classes, hw, and club meetings and activities. Clubs are also a great way to meet new people and make friends that you can invite over to hang out with.</p>
<p>Once you are busy and occupied with activities you will hardly ever feel lonely or bored.</p>
<p>Not to sound harsh, but get over it. I can almost guarantee you it has nothing to do with you.</p>
<p>P.S. Having your own room is so great!</p>
<p>If there is an R.A. on your floor (should be?) you might talk to them if you are feeling ‘down’ about this situation. Also, if there is a housing director, you might want to connect with that person to find out if someone else will be moving in pronto. This happened to my D at the start of her second year, and she was very upset and feeling so alone. She did as some suggested: let others ‘spend the night’ and come for study sessions sometimes. She also met with the housing director to find out options/‘what to do’ without a roommate, whether the college would be filling the room, etcetera. IThinkICan100 is right, too… don’t believe it is about you. The whole roommate situation seems very fluid and ever-changing from my vantage point as a parent. Enjoy the privacy while you have it, and take all these changes/not having roommates at various points as lessons in learning about different personalities and how to live/ not live with them. :)</p>
<p>I’m in the ‘enjoy it while you have it’ camp and don’t take it personally (the other person was likely a better match for your former roommate.)</p>
<p>I am trying to enjoy it while I can. I moved back in last night and me and my friend rearranged the furniture. I admit it is kinda nice to have the room the way I want it. I know my roommate didn’t move out because she hated me. I agree that her and the girl she now dorms with are a much better match. Me and her are complete opposites.</p>
<p>Glad it’s going good for now and that your friend helped you rearrange the room. Thanks for the update! 
Yes, enjoy it while you can.</p>
