Rec'd on 🏘️ tips for being a good roommate

i’ve been living roommates for the past 6 years and i have some okay-ish tips to make sharing a space easier. here you go go go -chores will become a problem at some point so let’s clear this out from the start. make sure to have light schedules for cleaning(YES!! including the shower and the sinks and the spider webs), taking the trash out. -spending money for the common products will also become a problem. use an app and share the bill(if possible) for the things you’ve bought.such as soap, other cleaning products, trash bags, toilet papers, and foils etc. (try using beeswax instead of tin foils and wraps👻) -depends on the friendship level you’ll grow with your roommate but i think(on daily basis) everybody should cook for themselves, with their own ingredients (ask before using things) and whomever that chef is, should make sure the leave (at least try sis) a clean space after cooking. -having one or two cutlery, mugs, glasses, bowls and plates for yourself and yourself only is definitely a life saver when you’re lazy. you can keep them in your room and wash whenever you want to because they’re all yours and your roommate doesn’t need to know where they are. -if you’re sensitive to noise, make sure to tell your roommate as soon as possible so that you can discuss and agree on something that would work for both of you. this is CRUCIAL. -don’t ask your roommate not to bring friends, that’s such an irritating thing to ask for. *yes some people do it without even seeing you inviting others*. as long as they’re not disturbing you, they also have every right to exist happily -and with their friends- inside of that apartment. -you don’t have to talk about your day, neither do they. don’t try to force a friendship. you’ll figure out soon if you’re gonna be getting along well or not. pretty basic but my holy grails to have a happier co-existing experience. would love to hear more tips and tricks🕺🏼🦚🍾🪩🪡

there's few better ways of showing/feeling love than inviting others to live with you for days at a time, just to spend time together

GROWING UP WITH YOUR HOUSEMATES

What once was your run of the mill student house, is now slowly becoming a grown up house. Something that I really cherish about my current living situation is getting to grow up with my housemates. We've now all lived together for nearly 3 years and lots of things have changed. While our house might still look like a regular student house to the untrained eye, we've been slowly upgrading several parts of our house. Such as now having a working freezer, a decent tv, no couches with giant holes in them and last but not least.. plants in our bathroom. We are catching up on decades of students living here and neglecting the space, but verrrryyy slowly it's turning into a home. Technically it's not even a student house anymore, as 2 of us have graduated and started working 'proper' office jobs. This is just a small appreciation for my housemates for being pleasant to live with and the universe for giving me a place to live where we might not mob the floor every week, but I would actually feel safe eating a dropped grape from the floor most days. PS: peep the plant I got for our bathroom
