<human>: Currently on summer break from college and my girlfriend of 7 months (who lives somewhere else but goes to the same college) slowly grew more distant over the past couple of weeks. Finally we had a big talk and she admitted she wanted a break from our relationship; she said she needed to be single to figure out what she wanted. I told her a break is pretty much the same thing as a break up. She responded saying that she wouldn't think of it that way, as she thinks it's very possible we get back together when we both return to school in about a month. Should I hold this as any real expectation or hope? What's her intention here? She said she wants to take this break for her, kind of gave me the whole "it's not me its you shpeel". What should I do?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: temporarily long distance girlfriend dumped (or "dumped") me, any advice other than just trying to get over her?
