ROOMMATES
One of the things I am most looking forward to about starting college is the opportunity to experience the social aspect of dormitory living with my fellow students. Generally, I have always enjoyed the company of friends and some of the most rewarding experiences in that regard have been the casual conversations that develop between us in general, and outside of the distractions of specific activities. On the other hand, sharing hobbies and projects is also extremely fulfilling and has often inspired close friendships as well. One example I can think of is the time last name of month that a few of my friends and I had a stressful day at the Lycee Saint-Louis, and went to a nearby cafe to relax with an adaptation of a commercial computer game, Snake, configured for a multi-user setting. Pretty soon, our gathering there became more intense and serious, and within a month, we developed Multi-Snake, a multiplayer version of the game. By May, we had 200 users of "Multi-snake" on a Facebook group we created for the game.
The other passion that I hope to share with my roommates at Stanford is my interest in music. I enjoy all genres of music and consider sharing music to be a fantastic way of getting to know one another and of being introduced to one another's interests. I also play the piano and would be happy to assume the position of official morning alarm clock for the suite, assuming that everybody else would appreciate that. As a considerate person, I also realize that my opportunities to play the piano and to enjoy music more generally will always be subject to issues of mutual consideration in a shared-living environment. That is something that I am certain is one of the most important determinants of the success of college dormitory living arrangements and I am confident about my anticipated role with respect to that responsibility.
Try your best not to argue. It only adds to stress. Therefore try to solve your problems by allowing each other few moments alone so you can figure out what happened and if you were being reasonable. Also make sure you know how to appreciate when your roommate is being helpful, cooperative or understanding. Though you may choose not to hang out with your roommate or be as friendly
roommate can be both an asset and a liability. On one hand, a good roommate can share living costs, help with chores, and provide companionship. On the other hand, a bad roommate can cause many problems, including late rent and bills, a messy apartment, and annoying behavior. I do not have an especially bad roommate. She pays her share of living costs on time and consistently completes her share
Social Psych Situation: My male roommate was late to work and in a hurry. When he went to start his car he realized the battery was dead. He said, "I knew this would happen! Why do the car gods always do this to me? I'm supposed to know about these car things, all the other guys do!" This situation clearly illustrates three principles of social psychology: hindsight bias, external locus of control,
This exists in the military, where quality of service and dedication is more important than one's status as a civilian. Similar haircuts, similar uniforms, and similar duties are a great leveler: while there is a hierarchy, the hierarchy is respected because it is based upon merit, not upon the financial status of one's parents. Rank must be earned, respect cannot be bought. Perhaps this sense of equanimity is why the
Competition Facebook is operating on the communication and social segment of the it industry. In this sense, it is offering a multitude of services to its clients, which include, besides the actual chat or forum-like services, photo and video sharing and, increasingly, the capacity to generate an entirely customized and personalized page for the user. From this point-of-view, we can identify primary competitors, competing in the social segment of the industry,
Acknowledging the validity of that position can be a beginning. In this particular case, while the freeloader's situation was clearly unjustified, the host did not establish any boundary lines. In such a situation, the rules were not clear and misunderstandings can certainly happen. Blowing up at the offending party was not justified and was an overreaction ("Interpersonal conflict and," 2011). It is the opinion of this author that by
