How to Live With Roommates Without Losing Your Mind

Pick one to live with: a close friend or the dreaded rando.

Gut instinct may say to pick the friend, but that may be just as risky as the person you don’t know — living styles and expectations are more important than hobbies if you want to avoid souring a friendship over an ice cream cone on the floor.

So we’re going to talk a bit about how to handle living with roommates, be they friend or newcomer, along with:

• How to keep a sleep routine while still having fun
• How many things to take on at once

Oh, and we’ll also be talking about why you might need to eat your weak hamsters.

Enjoy!
