Roommates, How To Survive With Them

Well, I guess it's been a while since I've updated this thing. It's been crazy lately with moving to my new apartment, school starting, and everything else that comes along with that. Anyway, there have been some changes with the arrival of my sophomore year of college. The main and most interesting one is the addition of roommates to my life. Last school year, Mason and I lived in a single dorm in the freshmen building. However, once you are no longer a freshmen, the housing options consist of on campus apartments. The nice thing is I went from a small room with an atached bathroom, lofted bed, and microwave, to a living room, full kitchen, laundry room, and a bedroom with a full bath and full sized bed. I guess you could say I moved up in the world. However, my apartment also contains 3 other bedrooms, which each contain another person. So, I've had to learn sever things.
1. First impressions definitely arent everything. I should know this already, but it really shows when you're actually living with a person.
2. Dogs and unexpected house guests make lives interesting. There have been a few times when I've had to rescue a surprised victim from Mason's exhuberent greetings.
3. Expect the unexpected. This ranges from visiters, roommates needing to be let in the apartment at odd hours becaus their key broke (this is where I learned wearing nothing but a bath towle is an interesting fashion statement.) Or, it could be dishes left in the sink or laundry left in the washer.
4. Roommates can be useful. Ask me about the computer that allmost got killed and it will make a lot of sense. Lol.
There are a lot more useful things to learn, but some would take too long to explain on here, and others I'm still learning about. There are many different situations people with roommates find themselves in, but that pretty much sums it up from my prospective so far.
