I am in my second year at school. I live in an off-campus apartment with one roommate through my school. I have been struggling because it is the 5th week of school and she has not stayed on weekend at the apartment. It’s extremely frustrating because she goes and drives 4 hours to her boyfriend’s college and stays with him all weekend long and comes back late on Sunday nights. Or he’ll come for the weekend and stay at his house which is 45 mins away from us and she’ll leave and stay at his place for the entire weekend.

She is my only close friend here at school, I’m far from home (from Texas but I go to school in Pennsylvania). And we get along really well honestly like we are so alike and we have never had any issues. We’ve talked about her leaving once like 2 weeks ago. She said she felt bad or that it might bother me but she didn’t want to bring it up which shows me she knows it’s kinda crappy of her to leave every single weekend…

but nothing changed… that honestly bothers me a lot because don’t reassure me that things will change and stick to doing the same thing… I think it’s hard for me to relate because I’ve never had a bf but still like I think what she’s doing is universally lame.. Like I understand they’re far away but like I’ve just had so many friends in the past make a new bf their entire life, and yes we live together but we are busy and pretty school orientated so we don’t go out and hang out during the week, we might catch up over how our day went but that’s really it..

So I’m not sure how to revisit this conversation, I don’t want her to think I’m jealous or that I need her here 100% and that I’m controlling at all, I just miss my friend and want to actually do fun stuff? Any tips would be helpful lol, I do realize I need to branch out and not just have 1 friend so if anyone has any tips on making friends in college that’d also be very helpful :))
