It’s a new place and a new person, so, you’ve got to be careful with your belongings. But that does not mean that you don’t trust each other. A simple honest relationship with your roommate will keep your home happy and stress free.
No Going To Bed Angry
This is mostly said about couples, but it surely applies in this case. After all you are living with another person. If you’re annoyed at your roommate for doing/ not-doing something than have a conversation about it. Hoping that things resolve magically the next day is no solution.
Split Home Chores
Stay organized by assigning specific tasks to each of you. Whether it be vacuuming, doing the dishes, buying groceries or paying bills, establish who does what.
Bonding Time
Weekends when you don’t have plans go out and get a drink. Have conversations, talk about your interests, watch a favorite sitcom together, all these are activities that will help you know one another better.
