Roommates are always away from home and have a world
of their own. Roommates are different in nature depending on their level of
maturity and understanding of things; some roommates are explosive entity when
it comes to arguments, you cannot win them. Some can go further to the extent
of beating up their other roommate(s) or keep malice etc. These and more are
the reasons why you need to learn how to maintain good relations with them. The
following steps are some of those ways you can achieve a good and lengthy
relationship with your roommate(s)
- Be polite: Your roommate is meant to be your best friend. You guys share a room and so ultimately you both will face challenges. Learn how to overcome them by accepting the fact that you both are supposed to live with the equal share of things (50-50)%, except on a genuine reason(s).
- Be considerate : How would you feel if your roommate threw a party out of nowhere and now there are many people drinking hard liquor and smoking at the place?! Be considerate. Understand that the room/house belongs to both of you and you cannot take decisions on your own. In the first instance you shouldn’t have allowed such a person into the same room with you. But for those who found themselves in this mess either by school mandate to live in an Hostel or the person wasn’t such a crap before, you can read through this article and I think you will be ok.
- Decide who does what: If you stay in a rented house such as an Hostel is I mention earlier then make it clear that who pays which bill or clean the room even cooking if needs to. Make it clear who does what chores (routine task), etc. At the end you don't want to fight over such issues.
- Have mutual friends: It is always good to hang out with a few friends. Have fun in doing things together, throwing up parties for mutual friends, read books together, it doesn’t matter you aren’t in the same department, novels are there for you to read etc. The bonding and love will increase.
- Help each other: Be it cleaning or any emotional issue, always be there for your roommate.
- Get involved: Do something which both of you like, maybe gardening, reading as stated before or any such hobby. Take out time for spending time with each other.
