co-existing tips

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🕺🏼🦚🍾🪩🪡

my living room

our (my roommates and i) living room was big enough that it did not make sense to have a single tv / couch setup, so we bisected it into two pieces: the media side, and the gaming side. these pieces can be further divided: there are two couches on the media side, and a recliner, lounge chair, and various beanbags on the gaming side. as an introvert, i really value spaces that allow for the division of one big party into smaller tiny groups, and our living room does this beautifully. at least four separate conversations can occur in it at the same time without incident, but we’ve left the pathways large enough that it is easy for you to move between each conversational space without disrupting much of anything. sometimes i am not in the mood to talk, but having the option to jump in and out of different groups as-needed is really reassuring, and i feel its absence when i am at functions at other places

Have roommates

Don’t live alone. You want to feel like a “real adult” so bad that you’re willing to be sad and lonely spending all your money to live in a studio apartment? My 3 male roommates are my best friends and as soon as we can find wives we are going to start a commune and raise our children together on vast land.
