In your campus life, staying with different people under one roof would probably be a wonderful experience, or a bad one.
The thought of staying with new individuals and having to get used to their habits can be challenging and dreadful. It is sometimes inevitable that conflict might arise between roommates due to differences in personalities.
If you have gone through this, you would realise that you are able to meet various types of people, some who might end up being your best friend, or some you might not feel comfortable staying with.
Here are a few types of roommates you might come across:
The Scholar
For this type of roommates, the library is their second home. They think that the most important thing in their life is their studies and nothing else matters more.
You can always see them burying their heads in books or laptops, studying for their exams or finishing up a mountain of assignments.
Roommates as such take ‘silence is golden’ to an entirely different level. You would not want to interfere them or else you might have to face some annoyed faces.
If you want to have a conversation with them, the best topic would be about studies – their favourite!
The Superstar
The Superstar roommates live by the motto ‘No Music No Life’ and they think they are the next winner of The Voice.
You might encounter roommates who love singing non-stop, but with an out-of-tune voice, causing others sleepless nights.
When they are in a bad mood, have bad grades or just had a breakup, they would express their emotions and feelings through their singing.
However, if you are lucky enough to find a Superstar roommate who actually sings well, you will be able to listen to a free concert then!
The Ghost
You might see them the first time when they move in, but you would not see them much after that. Sometimes, you might even wonder if they are still alive, or maybe you should make a missing person report to the police.
People in this category are always out of the house. They are either too outgoing or too busy. When you finally get to see them, it will never be more than a few minutes. Otherwise, it will be during the wee hours of the morning when they return to the dorm.
The LOL
You might also encounter roommates who have the loudest, funniest and most unique laughter in the world. They are the ones who would bring laughter and make up your day!
Roommates as such love to laugh out loud especially when watching TV shows or series. You might get a shock due to their sudden laughter or end up laughing together with them.
It is even funnier when they have a combination of a funny laughter and a unique gesture.
Some of them would clap their hands loudly, or randomly hit everything around them.
There are many other types of roommates besides the ones mentioned.
If you are lucky enough, you might meet someone who could end up being your perfect match and you get along magnificently.
If you meet the perfect roommate, stick with them as long as you can as it will truly be a match made in roommate heaven.
