How about......you are soooooooooooooooooooooo excited about your new place....you want to stay over there asap!
This is normal for someone about to move out on their own for the first time!
Not only is it stressful and overwhelming, but it is exciting! Would your parent understand this part of it?

Deli.....about the bigger room, I completely understand how you are feeling. Coin flip or not, I would totally feel guilty too. I don't know why, it's kind of hard to explain.
Maybe you would feel better if you offered to switch rooms? You could be honest about how you're feeling. And then, if she still wants to keep things the way they are with you in the bigger room, at least you know you made every effort and it would help ease the guilt.
I really don't think you should pay more rent even if you have the bigger room. You both agreed to split the rent to begin with, knowing that one room was bigger, right? So IMO you should keep it even.
Either way, big room or not - it is still YOUR OWN FIRST APARTMENT!!!
How great is that?
