Life is a Song68856

Sharing an apartment with roommates can be a fun experience. This experience can turn bad if you don't see eye to eye on certain things. Some examples include :
1) Playing loud music
2) Leaving a mess everywhere
3) Not doing dishes.
4) Bringing uninvited guests over. This list can go on and on.. How much tolerance do you have for these problems? How do you handle them?

Well, these problems can be handled regardless of its nature. One thing to keep in mind is to act rationally and think before you act. Sometimes, it can get to the point where you want to literally scream at the individual, but take a step back and think logically. Remember, you'll be sharing the apartment for at least one year so it is in your best interest to remain calm.

The best way to handle these situations is to politely communicate your feelings to your roommates. There is no point in keeping everything inside. When you keep things inside, it's not good and can be detrimental to your health and overall well being. You will lose focus of more important things like school and work. Take the initiative and be pro-active about it. Speak to the roommates in your apartment and communicate your feelings. Ask them how they feel about it and attempt to resolve the problem. In the end, you will feel much better about the situation. Your roommates will acknowledge your concern and should take it into consideration. If the problem should repeat itself the next time around, bring it to the attention of the individual again. Since it's the second time around, the individual should feel a little bit of guilt (if they are considerate people) and work harder to rectify the problem.

It's all about working together...You'll find this a rewarding experience in the end when both parties are content...
