So now that you've seen what the rooms look like a bee Gee, let's talk a little bit about finding a roommate. So my biggest advice for an incoming freshman looking for a roommate Definitely go on your school's website. Super the lights on or off do you play your music out louder. Oh, and they will match you up with another student who answered the questionnaire similarly to you. You can also put a little bio in your profile and be like, Hey, like im tae. I play this sport and you can find someone who has a little bit in common with you. Check and see if your school has a Facebook page. We have a B G s u class of twenty twenty one page where I actually ended up meeting my remain. Um, we met through Facebook in the way, talked for a little bit and found out that we had a lot in common. We live together last year, and we're living together again this year. My biggest advice when you're searching for remains is to be honest. So if you are messy, say that if you sleep with the lights on, say that if you will be coming in really late or leaving really early in the morning, or tend to make a lot of noise, say that I feel like often we try to make ourselves the most presentable version of ourselves. We want to find someone hill we're going to be able to get along with. I think we all kind of have this fear that we're like, What if I don't find anyone? What if no one likes me? So we try to make ourselves really likable, and that's completely fine. Definitely definitely be honest about certain habits, so that when you get to school and your true colors eventually come out, which you know they will come out. Sometimes you might say I'm a little bit messy, but you're a lot messy And then your roommate thought you were a little bit messy.

Like, be honest, almost brutally honest with yourself and with your roommate. Don't make it so that it seems like you're trying to drive. If they say I don't really prefer that, then you wouldn't be really good roommates in the first place s o definitely find someone who matches up to your habits and honestly, just be yourself. Be Really, are you'll eventually, whether you become ultra best friends with your roommate or you just kind of get along like, say hi. Every once in a while you are going to find someone at your school who you get along with. Uh, I don't know anyone who truly, truly doesn't have anyone out of all of your classes. Student organizations, the people in your hallway and your room, mate. I guarantee you're going to find at least one person that you like, So don't worry.
