rooming

For my first year of college, I lived in a room with three other girls. For my second year of college, I am living in a room with three other girls. Pretty soon, I will be nervous to live with three other girls.

My roommate is going to be studying abroad.

In any other circumstance, I wouldn’t be nervous about her leaving at all. Yes, she is my best friend at school but that doesn’t mean that I need to spend every second with her or that she cant do what she would like because I am not comfortable with it. That absolutely not me—I think studying abroad is the best thing in the world for her and I am so excited for her to go on this adventure.

While I feel this way, I cant help but be nervous at the rooming situation I will be left with. In a seven person room with only 4 people, we were bound to get new roommates eventually. In a seven person room with 3 people, we are bound to get roommates soon.

I don’t really care about getting new people so much. It will be nice to have others share our big room because it does sometime feel a bit empty. My dilemma is where will I stay?

Right now, my bedroom is a triple. I share it with the roommate going away. I love having a double with her. We talk, hang out. Boyfriends, sleeping, homework and other general problematic stuff isn’t a problem at all.

If we get new roommates, should I stay in the room where I am? Or move my stuff and share with my other roommate?

One of my other roommates has some emotional problems. She likes guys to sleep over, she likes to hang out with them all the time and is quite clingy.

The other is my RA and I wouldnt move in to her room. 

Im nervous about living in a small room with a brand new person or all by myself since people that have had singles are first to get mates. 

Hopefully more information will come through soon about everything and I can prepare myself or know that I am completely fine with the situation.
