If you are a freshman, you know you have to love that roommate. For commuters, go beyond your high school pals and try to meet folks in the classroom and around campus. Of course there is always the plethora of night outings that are in the Huntsville area, but if you don't enjoy the drinking thing, there is not much to offer you. Mutual respect in a relationship is imperative to the mixture of characteristics set forth in a bond between two individuals. When a conflict erupts between friends, lovers or roommates, any situation can turn into a disaster.
Conflict can cause horrible living situations, heartbreaks and friendships to crumble.
Individuals who long for healthy relationships need to develop exemplary communication skills and construct a problem solving method that is agreeable between both persons. It is hard to neglect those sleepless nights caused by your roommate's all night bashes, the dirty dishes piling up in the sink, your clothes disappearing and the couch potato that never leaves. We allow small things to build up over time, and like a volcano we erupt with a single burst of fury, reminiscent of Mount St. Helen's, destroying everything in our way, including relationships. It is difficult to decide when to say something or when to let it slide. When something bothers you, no matter what kind of relationship you're involved in, be the proactive one and tell the other what it is that irritated you.
