<p>First, take a step back from the situation. I know D wasn’t able to get in touch with her freshman roommate for several days. People take vacations, work, and sometimes don’t check IU email, etc. BTW-D and her roommate ended up being great friends and lived together again. It’s been less than 48 hours.</p>
<p>S hasn’t really heard from his roommate even though he emailed him. </p>
<p>My other piece of advice is to stop assuming this situation is bad. It’s pretty unlikely you and your roommate would have ended up as best friends no matter what the situation was. Keep your door open and make friends with others on your floor. Keep your mind open about the situation and view it as an opportunity to stretch yourself. Some one that transfers as a senior likely has a pretty interesting story to tell. Listen to it. Also keep in mind that she will likely be looking for new friends also. If she wasn’t, she probably would not be living in the dorms. </p>
<p>Assuming it will be horrible will make it so.</p>
