  • GETTING ALONG WITH YOUR ROOMMATE As a college student, you probably recognize the importance of social development. You may see college as a place where you'll be given an adult opportunity to learn how to get along with others. One kind of relationship will be very important in contributing to the ease and pleasantness of your daily life - the relationship with your roommate. A roommate can be a friend, a casual acquaintance, or someone you never met before you were assigned to your dorm room. You'll be asked to get along with this person and share with him or her all of the humdrum details of daily living. It is important to realize that it can be difficult to adjust to dorm life and that this difficulty is normal -- even expected. However, there are some guidelines for easing the transition and developing a healthy relationship with your roommate. Together you and your roommate will need to draw up some basic rules in order to keep small irritations to a minimum. For exa mple, you might be a basically neat person who likes to have everything in its place. Your roommate might not care whether or not clothes are left on the floor. The two of you will need to come to some compromise on this such as your agreeing to leave your roommate's dirty underwear alone as long as it's on his/her side of the room and your roommate agreeing not to hang wet towels on your desk chair. After these rules have been established, it's important for you to be assertive in seeing that they are not violated. Frank, friendly discussions keep grievances from mounting to the point of a blow-up. Being honest in a firm, By Pam Edwards-Counseling Center non-threatening way will allow your relationship to grow. Conversely, if your roommate points out that you've violated a rule, own up to it and be aware of of your behavior so that it will not happen again. Keep in mind, too, that your rules aren't written in stone - they can be negotiated and renegotiated as the two of you, and your relationship, change. Recognize that both of youare individuals, two separate people with different personalities, values, and habits. You need to gra nt each other the right to your own opinions and interests. This doesn't mean that you have to accept your roommate's views, only that you try to understand them. Also, you need to be aware of and understand your own valuesand needs. Try to be flexible in getting each other's needs met. Remember, you are part of thisi relationship. You share the responsibility ofj making it work. Thatrequiresconcentrationon what you contribute as well as what yog receive. You can play an active role in creating your environment; you don't have to be a passive spectator, letting your environment control you. Sometimes negotiating a workable roommate relationship requires a neutral mediator. Don't be afraid to ask for help from your R.A., area coordinator, or a counselor at the CAP center. If the relationship doesn't work out (and, realistically, some roommates find they can't live together productively), consider it a learning experience and try again with a new roommate. Of course, you might just find that you'll become good friends! SPRING RAIN GALLERY HAS POSTERS TO DEOORATE NOUR DORM! Come browse through our poster books to personalize your room.
