※ 引述《dvlin (Dee)》之铭言:
: 4. Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or
: university. What are some of the important qualities of a good roommate?
Not a regular article, but somewhat reflect my inner thought...
To me, the most important quality of a roommate is to have empathy.
Since we have to live together for at least a semester, we have to endure
and accommodate the living habits of each other. I have met some different
kinds of roommates such as staying all night long, playing rock music,
keeping bad personal hygiene, etc. To have the best life in a dormitory is
to make a pact with your roommate(s) and to be mature enough to bear one's
own responsibility. If someone's irregular habit irritates you, you have to
speak it out, but it is also education for you to communitate or negotiate
with him/her. If you present your complaint in a improper way, you display
your immaturity to others. Since it is not expected for people to break
their relationship with others who shall live with you for a period of time,
the one who advises others to change has to be more objective. Thus, to
have empathy is the foundation of a roommate when you are other people's
roommate and they are your roommates as well. Empathy reflects one's own
respect toward both oneself and others, and it is always the lesson we have
to learn from the interaction with others in a society.
