How does one go about eliminating an obsession with someone, without just replacing it with another obsession over someone else? I've had prolonged obsessions with people before and the only way I've been able to rid myself with them is just by inadvertently coming in contact with someone I'm more interested in.
I've been obsessed with someone for the past two years and recently it caused me to get in major trouble with my university.
I base my thought process around imagining that I'm talking to them, I write about them all the time, collect and frame their photos, imagine scenarios between us, catalog their social media, etc (it gets more specific than that but I'd have to go into extreme detail).
Eliminating contact with the person isn't the issue in that I didn't have contact with them beforehand, so that wasn't what was fueling it.
Any advice on how to get rid of it?

On a side note, it's not an obsession based in romantic interest.

Maybe you should stop doing that.

In the wise words by some fuckwad somewhere...
GO. GET. THERAPY.
Don't end up like one of those crazy killer stalkers we all hear about.

Then what is it based on, if not a romantic interest? OP, are you by any chance co-dependent?

Fill your life with routine - work, school, whatever. The more you immerse yourself in everyday stuff, the less mental energy you'll have to obsess with. And as a by-product, the more you'll find other things to be interested in)
