Leaving
your familiar surroundings where you grew up in and moving away from
home to a completely different city and to start a new life is
something most of us do in our career graph. Getting admitted in your
dream college or landing that perfect job to find out who you are and
what you really want to be can be either mind- blowing or mind
blogging. You will have to learn how to become independent, and
becoming independent will take lot of courage, the courage to face
the reality and to do things which you are unfamiliar with, like not
only living by yourself in a rental
flat in Mumbai but also cook
food for yourself, and do your laundry.
And
just when you think you will manage to cope up with these things you
are hit with realization that it is not just living in unfamiliar
environment but also living with unfamiliar people. The fear of
living with people you don't know can be thrilling and scary at the
same time. But you no longer need to worry or stress out about it;
here are some amazing ideas on how to interact, how to get to know or
how to bond with your new roommates. So that you can become best of
best friends:
1. Get
to know each other- INTERACT!
Everything
is new and unfamiliar when you move miles away from your home to a
completely new city. Sitting alone in your room the whole day is not
going to help you in any way, it will only get harder. Instead of
being self absorbed and watching your favorite TV shows, start a
conversation by yourself, try getting to know each other, try bonding
with each other. When you get to know your roommates you will no
longer be alone or feel scared.
2. Joining a hobby class or club together
In
order to make new friends and to bond with each other over something
you all have in common, the best option for this is joining a hobby
class. There are number of hobby classes such as belly dancing or
salsa, learning to play any musical instrument in a hobby class or
bakery class or a yoga class. Find a hobby class which you and your
roommates shared the best interest in. Having to share your passion
and laugh together will make bonding strong and will help to get to
know each other more well.
3. Go shopping or play a sport together
Shopping
is therapeutic. When you and your roommates are bored, to change the
mood just simply saying “let`s go shopping” will help everything
and then you can start planning for your day-outing. You will get to
know what your roommate’s likes and dislikes are and they will know
yours. Not only that but also what you all have in common will give
you all a great experience. For those who don't like shopping you can
play a sport together.
4. Cooking a meal together
Bonding
over dinner table is a proven way through which you can get to know
each other. So why not try cooking together and adding a twist and
planning a dinner party. Pick out recipes and ingredients together
that you all enjoy and which are not difficult. Pizza and pasta are
the best options. And then eating the food together and gossiping is
the second best.. Then at the end clean all the mess you created in
kitchen by dividing the course of work. This activity will surely
help you bond with them.
5. Doing laundry together
Another
fantastic way to bond with each other is doing laundry together.
Laughing together about how your roommate doesn`t know how to wash
clothes and how to use washing machine and then helping each other is
also a perfect way to bond.
