The Confusing Thing About Roommates

They may seem harmless. Or even worse, wonderful. They may also seem like a terror. Who knows! Don't let the first few weeks decide anything for you. Give it a month or two. Then accept what it is. You can't change them, you can only change you. If you aren't doing anything wrong, don't let them affect who you are as a person. Just try to get along. If you both do your best, it will work out.

And if it doesn't.... well, don't forget that this will only be one year, or semester of your life! Next year, it will be better. Don't allow one moment of now envelope and doom your forever. You have eternity to have fun and wonderful companions in a dorm, apartment, or home. The hard times right now will teach you something that will make you better. I promise. It's happened to me, and it still will. Every year, I'll grow a little more, and hopefully someday that eternal roommate will show up, and I won't have to worry about this again!

The worst is when you can tolerate them as a person, but they don't ever sleep. 3:30 in the morning last night. playing #$%^ solitaire. I'm peeved.
