Settling Conflicts

From OSU Wiki

Anytime you live with someone, whether it be one person or five, there is bound to be conflicts. Everyone grows up in different living environments and has been taught different things. When different people live together, there will always be something everyone doesn't agree on. One person may be a clean freak and want the kitchen floor swept every night, while someone else may want it only done once a week. Someone may have never done a dish in their life when someone else may have never seen a dish left in the sink unwashed. The fact is, everyone has different lifestyles and ways to go about doing things. Nonetheless, if you decide to live with someone, you have to learn to accomodate with one another's needs. Otherwise, you will end up driving eachother crazy and nothing but problems will come about. Therefore, it is very important to talk about things quickly before it becomes a problem. If you are going to be living with someone and be around them 24/7, there is no way to avoid one another, so you must compromise and figure out how things will be done, or otherwise, your life can possibly become a nightmare.
