<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

So I am in my second year at college and my roommate and I have lived together in dorm rooms since August of last year. She and I have talked about it in the past and I have always agreed to the idea because I don't want to hurt her feelings.

My boyfriend and I had the idea of living together once my third year started since we are long distance, but we've since realized that it's too soon and we need to save money and all that. Since then I've been doing a lot of thinking about my living situation for next year and as of late, I think I've made up my mind about living at home. My university is only a 30-40 minute drive from my house and my mom could really use the help around the house ever since my dad died earlier this year. I love my mom so fucking much, and my roommate is actually trying to make me feel bad because I've been going home every weekend to help her with cleaning and stuff.

I've been weighing the pros and cons of living at home. There aren't really any cons. It is just a matter of commuting, which was my original plan before my first year but things didn't work out right. Anyway, I've made my choice but I don't know how to bring it up. I don't want to keep her out of the know but I also don't want to keep pretending like we are going to live together. She's already been looking at furniture and has a couple places in mind. I don't know what to say or how to tell her. HELP.
<bot>: Don't want to live with my roommate next year in apartment. How to tell her and how soon should I spill the beans??
