Trial Bond – Often times people are so different that they don’t even give each other a chance. Try some “trial bonding” with your roommate. Pick out a day once a week where you guys hang out with just the two of you or go on a little date. This will force you to get to know each other, as awkward as it may start out to be. Maybe you guys will learn you have some things in common and your roommate is actually not all that bad.
