Having a roommate can be a blessing, especially if you get along with little to no effort. Unfortunately, every roommate comes with their own troubles whether big or small.

Here is a list of things to help you not get annoyed with your roommate, and rules for you to follow as a roommate!

1. Keep your half of the room clean/organized.

There's nothing worse than walking into a messy room when you come back from class.

2. If you watch a video longer than 5 minutes, use headphones.

Especially if the video is loud. Please.

3. Be a shoulder to cry on/be their friend.

Trust me, if you're not friends with your roommate things will be super awkward.

4. Try not to get annoyed with your roommate.

I'll admit, this one can be hard sometimes, but you have to understand that they're putting up with your shit too.

5. Try to go to dinner together at least once a week.

Sometimes the best way to bond is by complaining about how bland the food is.

7. Make sure your roommate is okay with you playing music out loud.

This can be quite annoying to your roommate, so ask before you do it!

8. Motivate your roommate to wake up for their morning classes.

Morning classes are rough, but we've all been there. Make sure your roomie wakes up for theirs!
