College New Year’s Eve

         

          Regardless of what people may say, it is always a nice thing if campus students get to find time to have some fun together on New Year’s Eve. It is always a happy moment as each and every person is always happy to be able to reflect on how the year has been and sort of make resolutions for the new year. It is always a happy time for those who have achieved their resolutions of the year that is about to end and they always find a reason to be cheerful.

            For those perhaps who had made resolutions and for some reason hadn’t achieved them it is always a good time for them to be involved in coming up with things that more or less add value to them in the year to come. All in all it is always a time for reflection in the sense that it makes one think of where he or she is and how he or she needs to move from hence. It is for that reason that I feel that people need to find a reason to be cheerful under all circumstances and that is all it shall ever be.

            When all is said and done though you must agree with me that it is always a time for people to be cheerful and happy for the occurrences that have taken place in the year and hope for better in the subsequent year. There are so many things that can be done to cheer the day up, but the fact remains that it is a day that needs to be appreciated and enjoyed by all.

Communicate With Your Roommate

Avoiding conflict is inevitable when living with a roommate. Irrespective of whether you are best friends or total strangers, living together can sometimes cause friction. It is therefore necessary to have effective communication tools – to help live harmoniously. Here is what you need to enhance proper communication.

For starters, formulate a roommate contract. Having a contract – printed on paper prior to anyone moving in with you – sets ground rules that will ensure friendships are kept alive in future. It is much easier to co-habit with specified terms in place. Unnecessary conflict is avoidable this way.

Make yourself accessible. Privacy has its perks when living together. But if you are constantly away – especially when issues arise – keeping conflicts at bay would be an exercise in-futility. Sometimes change in privacy settings is vital. Leave your phone number behind for the sake of resolving issues that might be hanging low.

Do things together. This is one of the simplest ways of lightening things up when living together. Going out to watch a movie or sharing a cup of coffee, is one of things that can easily steer good communication between roommates. Suffice to say, create a friendly relationship.

Never bottle up issues. If you want to easily increase your stress and anxiety levels, bottle up issues. Grievances between roommates might arise. But keeping these grievances under your hat does nothing but ‘stew’ you. Learn to compromise lest you cause yourself unwanted distress.

Know when to fold. In other words, know when to call it quits with your roommate. If the situation has become unbearable and an unnerving between the two of you, discuss how to end your relationship – in a professional manner. Ending things in a civil manner ensures that you get to respect each other’s opinion, as well ending on a good note.
