So, your roommate has left for the weekend and you’re on your own. Your live-in BFF is paying a visit to some family out of town or she’s gone to the beach for an old friend reunion. Either way, you’re lost without her. You can’t seem to handle the emotional and physical separation that comes when your roomie leaves. If you feel this way, you might have roommate separation trauma. Here are the signs you need to look for.
1. You feel no motivation to walk to DQ and get some ice cream because who are you going to wait in line with? And yet you want ice cream to fill the void that comes from being alone. Your only friends now are Ben & Jerry. It’s a sad, sad world.
2. You begin to talk to her side of the room, forgetting that she is gone. You look over to her bed, see her pillow pet, and continuously speak as if she’s there. Her pillow pet doesn’t answer either.
3. You sit in your room all day because why would you want to go tan by the pool by yourself? Netflix becomes your new roomie, but you only watch movies that you would never watch with your best friend. So basically, no Lifetime or ABC Family films because you can’t make fun of those on your own.
4. You actually feel motivated to do your homework and eat healthy (although this may just apply to me).
And if you hate your roommate, you have a free pass to not wear pants and do whatever you pleased!
But don’t fret! Once she comes home you can catch up on all the juicy gossip from campus and she can share her photos from her time away.
