huh, I can’t go home every weekend but I do like to eat alone. For various reasons: 1) the tradition of my nation: eating while talking is uncouth and disrespectful 2) eating alone saves a lot of time-when I eat alone I eat as fast as possible thus saving precious time for other things.

<p>I rest my case.</p>

Maybe you just don’t know their circumstances. Me? I didn’t want to talk to anyone at school, so I would spent time just going out by myself, spending time on my laptop, or sleeping. I did eat on campus, but my schedules didn’t really match with the few people that I actually did talk to. I just didn’t feel comfortable. I was going through a depression, thus went home every weekend that I could. I didn’t have anyone to turn to in a large school of 40,000+. I almost transferred out of my current school because I just wanted to be closer to home so I can just commute and have my family to support me.</p>
<p>So I guess I’m lame as well. I’ll just accept that. But if you knew all the crap I had to deal with during this past year, specifically the spring semester, then maybe you’d have a better understanding. I can’t speak for your roommates, but you don’t know what they are going through. And like someone said, count your lucky stars. You could have been stuck with messy, psycho, and/or disrespectful people.

<p>Roommates/friends can help you with your depression by socializing with you. If you shut yourself in your room, all you have to keep you company is the internet, which is full of misanthropes, TV, which is dumb, and Memorizing for tests, which is boring and more difficult to do with an unsound mind rife with anxiety due to friendlessness and whatever else you were going through. However, whatever you went through spring semester was well after you’d willfully ostracized yourself in the autumn.</p>
