In order of importance:

1) Senior Thesis Defense coming up
2) Busdrivers constantly reminding me about my horrible roomy I had (can't they pick another subject to talk about! Sheesh! I'm going my way, he's going his way. 'Nuff said! This happens nearly EVERY single time I talk to one of the shuttle drivers. I have told them I don't give a rat's *ss about him, and have told them over and over again that I don't want to talk about it)
3) Lunch Ladies reminding me about my horrible ex (can't they pick another subject to talk about? Sheesh! I'm going my way, she's going her way. ENOUGH ALREADY! I should mention, however, that this only happened one time, in September, but it still bothers me...makes me feel like I'm a constant subject of gossip -.-)
4) Midterms coming up
5) Random dude shouting at/picking on me as I was going across the street (WHOO! MAPLE SYRUP! ALRIGHT!) (I was carrying it) (I mean, honestly, there's a REASON why I'm alone...to BE LEFT ALONE!...can't people just GROW UP?!)
6) Girls coming to my room on a consistent basis to ask to use the bathroom, only to find out that I was rejected by them (But seriously, why THIS room? And how do they KNOW me?)
7) RA never being available (she's not there EVERY TIME I knock on te door, ESPECIALLY on weekends)
8) Roomy's g/f sometimes appearing to fight with me, though I'm not sure that that is her intention (perhaps I should just not interact with her)
9) Being alone is like...the only positive right now

All of this, today, caused me to have a minor meltdown, sparked by my roomy's g/f getting pissed at me (no idea why THAT would set me off...usually doesn't).

How do I cope with all of this? :'(

Focus on your midterms and thesis, ignore annoying people. Is there a sanctuary where you can hang out and study, like maybe the library or unused room? Take breaks when you need them, do relaxing things you enjoy or go for a walk to digest all the information. And finally, give yourself something to look forward to. What will you do when you're finished your midterms, etc.
Who cares what annoying people say, just be polite on the surface. Good luck.
