All right, folks! The day is almost (finally) here: finding out who your roommate is! Now I know this can be super stressful… I mean, this is the person whom you will be living with for almost an entire year! You kinda want to get along with them, right? Luckily for you, after having conducted extensive research this past year, I have now identified the key ways in which to get along with your roommate:
1. Play loud music. Like all the time. Your roommate will appreciate your level of comfort with completely disregarding their quiet study needs.
2. Stay up really late. Better yet, stay out really late and wake them up when you return to the room at 2 am.
3. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT ever clean your side of the room. This is especially important if your roommate is a clean freak. You need balance, right?
4. Eat all of your roommate’s food. They will appreciate your support in preventing the “Freshman Fifteen”.
5. Surprise your roommate and adopt a dog. Especially if they’re allergic! This is a new experience that you and your roommate can share together!
So… It’s pretty obvious that these are all completely bogus, right? Honestly, getting along with your roommate isn’t brain surgery. My roommate and I got along just fine and had an amazing residence hall experience! Just respect each other and communicate your personal needs, and you will have an awesome school year together! The dorms are fun. Having a roommate in the dorms is even more fun 🙂
