I'm sorry you're having such difficulties with your roommate, CC. Maybe she is lonely? I say this because I was hoping my roommate and I could be friends and she turned out to be a literal hermit who never talks to me. However, I recognize that it's not her job to be my friend and salve my loneliness. I reach out to her sometimes to do something with me, but I am always sure to make sure she knows there's no pressure (so of course, she always turns me down lol). Anyway, my point is that it's not your job to entertain your roommate. You've got enough on your plate without taking care of her needs. She has the option of looking elsewhere (even though it's really hard, as I know from personal experience) for someone to talk to. In fact, I'm surprised she hasn't made friends she can ***** to with other people in her cohort. My roommate is in grad school, too, and she has become close with a couple of her classmates. They come over and stay in her room with the door closed like our apartment is a dorm. It's actually kind of weird.
