28、 how do you get them to stop?You cant do it. Its impossible. The only way you will be able to live with your roommates is by compromising. If you like to have friends over, but your roommates want to study, take your friends out. If you dont like to listen to music while you are studying but one of

Sometimes its too difficult to try to live together and be good friends at the same time. Roommates are not always meant to be your best friends. Remember: Not only do you have roommates, you are a roommate. Be good to your roommates.
