- Be a peace keeper– Disagreements are bound to happen with you and your roommate. When you but heads, see the situation from your roommates perspective and keep a level head. There is nothing worse than a raging roommate!! Aim to reach and amicable solution and keep the good vibes coming!
- Split the cost of living equally– If you buy something for the room. Split it evenly, do not be the money man and don’t be the tight ass. Split the item; that you will both use equally, evenly and keep the tensions low.
- Don’t snoop– have you ever heard the saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’? Well if you’re one to snoop around, we have advice for you- just don’t do it. Apart from being caught or being caught, you should allow your roommate to share their business with you at their own pace.
- Most importantly, have fun– Be responsible but enjoy yourself. Engage with your roommate and have a good time. Remember, you won’t be living with them forever, so make the most of the time that you have together!!
