with a roommate you have to live with for the rest of the year and you don't want to hate them. The truth is you might not be best friends with your roommate, even if your roommate is your best friend going into this whole rooming situation. Best friends don't always make the best roommates, and the best roommates don't always become best friends. That's okay. The best roommates are simply people who live really well together, best friends or not. By the end of this book, you'll have just about everything you'll need to at the bare minimum set yourself up for peacefully coexisting with the person (or people) you'll be living with for the next year.
