A messy roommate
We all need to organize our mess
A messy roommate is always very annoying. The best way to handle this is to schedule things out and divide responsibilities. This will avoid those ugly arguments over chores not done and cold wars.
Different sleep timings
Even the monsters are saying, ‘Go to sleep’
If your roommate is a night owl and you have trouble sleeping because of this, then the first thing to do is try to making some kind of arrangement or ask them to go to bed early or just politely tell them to go to the common hostel area.
Friends coming over
Your reaction when you can’t study
Hanging out with friends is common and you really can’t pull a long face every time. Try to sit and discuss things out. If it’s disturbing your study schedule or invading your personal space, your roommates need to know.
They take your stuff without permission
This is your roommate, taking your stuff
You just about share everything but when it goes overboard, you need to put a stop on it. Let your roommate know and draw the line. It will make life simple for both of you.
They are disrespectful and mean
Nobody likes a mean person
This can happen to anyone, as we don’t know who our roommate is going to be. The best solution is to address the problem early rather than late, or just ask the respective authorities to change your roommate.
They are never around
Hi!…. Bye!
In this type of situation, you’ll feel like you are all alone and you don’t even know who your roommate is, at all. The best thing to do is to try and open up, join the some club or organization as your roommate, try to be social and schedule some lunch together.
They are always around
Get the hell out
Yes, that’s right! The other way around could also be a problem. Maybe they are lazy or maybe they are just shy and have no friends. So, try to get them outside with you and introduce them to others so that they can make friends and are not alone and in the room every day.
