I'm sure this gets posted to death on here, but I honestly just need to vent about it for a second.

I'm a second year university student. I elected to stay in the dorms again this year for financial reasons and convenience (I don't have a car). I got a random roommate and she's nice enough. The problem is that she almost never leaves our room. She leaves our room to go to class, but always comes straight back afterwards. I'm not exaggerating when I say I get maybe an hour of alone time every week (Her classes are fairly short or entirely online). Every time I come back in the room, she is literally in the exact same spot. Even if she leaves to get food from the dining hall or a restaurant, she brings it back to the room to eat so she's gone max 15-20 minutes. She studies in the room too, I've never seen her go to the library, union, or anywhere else.

I get that she's an introvert, I am too. But it's starting to drive me insane. I work two jobs and have a full, in-person course schedule. Sometimes I just want to come back to my room and have nobody else there, especially when I've been working all day. I understand that we pay equally for the room and that I really have no leg to stand on in asking her to leave. And I'd honestly be fine with her being in there a lot of the time if it just felt a little more balanced, like if she went out occasionally on the weekends or went to the library to study sometimes. But she is literally always there, it can't be healthy to go outside as little as she does. I don't know if she's depressed or what, but it's driving me nuts.

Rant over. Cheers to hopefully being done with student housing next year.
