Majority students live with roommate while studying in school or university. In this essay we shall look at some important qualities of a good roommate.
We as human beings live in a society and we are all social creatures. In the dorms, we all have some roommate and in turn we are roommate to them. We live in one room, we communicate with them and so they do. Everyone would like a sensible and trustworthy roommate. Good roommates try and help each other how best they can and solve problems of each other with mutually. A roommate must be reliable, honest, trustworthy, and cooperative. Conversely our roommate also expects equal reciprocation.
While we may be too far away from our parents, brothers, sisters and close relatives or friends, depending upon our location, but roommate is the one who is nearest to us. Hence in any unforeseen and uncalled for contingency like our sickness, an accidental injury it is the roommate who comes forward and helps us the most. Here I am reminded of a proverb “A Good Roommate Is a Priceless Treasure”.
However some roommate may be little reserved and introvert. Those are shy kind of guys; instead of face to face talks; they like to use telephone or the cell phone for that matter. This slightly reduces the personal touch in human relation. This situation must be tackled gently with love and affection rather than scolding and yelling. Nobody anyway likes roommate’ disturb, annoy and cause troubles to them or they unnecessarily interfere in their matters hence we as good roommates must avoid to do so.
In conclusion some good qualities of a roommate are reliability, honesty, trustworthiness, and cooperation. At the same time we too must equally reciprocate for an everlasting friendship.
