It can be hard to adjust to having a roommate, particularly if you’re on different wavelengths, but this

I’m an introvert so I like having my alone time but she thinks she can just barge into the room at any time and be in the room when I want my alone time. Whenever she’s in the room I just give her dirty looks to give her the hint to go away and when I hear her opening the combination I groan to hopefully get her to change her mind about coming into the room.

is unfair. Your roommate has the right top be in the room whenever she wants. Perhaps all the groaning and dirty looks are why she doesn’t greet you when she enters the room.

I get the need for alone time but you can’t demand your roommate give it to you. Is there someplace on campus you can use as a getaway spot? Some little-used lounge, study room or other spot where you can get some privacy without displacing your roommate?
