Roommate AUIt's the one person almost everyone has to deal with at some point in your life. The one person who is either your best friend or the bane of your existence. Whether it's your first roommate or your tenth, each experience is new
RolesI) Complete Strangers You guys have never met before you lived together, whether it was through craigslist or random roommate assignment you're now stuck with each other
II)Met through a friend A friend of your friend is also your friend, right? They can't be all bad to live with or your friend wouldn't have suggested it,
right?
III)Long time buds You two have known each other for a while now and you both needed a roommate so you figured why not? Or maybe you've known each other for a while, were desperate, and jumped into this without thinking about how much you don't actually like the other. Either way, too late now.
ScenarioA)Move in day Today's the big day! Are you moving into a dorm? An apartment? Maybe that attic the sweet old couple is renting out? Whatever the case there are a lot of stairs and those boxes aren't going to lift themselves.
B)Bonding time You two need to spend some quality time together. You're living together, so you need to find something to bond over.Paint ball, movies, nail painting, ect. The possibilities are endless.
C)We need to have a talk There is that
one thing they do that drives you up the wall. Or maybe it's more than one thing. Okay, there are a lot of things, but let's focus for the time being. You need to talk to them. You know, before you kill them.
D)Grocery buying Everyone needs to eat and it's easiest if you do this together. Otherwise you'll end up with a freezer full of hot pockets again and no milk.
E)Exciting news! Something happened and you need to tell someone! Good thing you have a roommate who's willing to listen.
F)Bad day You need to unwind, and you're roommate's here to help (hopefully).
G)Moving out It's been fun (hopefully) but time to move on!
H)Misc Knock yourself out!
