18．Sharing a room with a family member or a friend can be tough，but it becomes especially difficult when you are sharing it with someone you hardly know．If you find yourself in a similar situation，do not worry．There are things you can do to help you deal with having a roommate，no matter who it may be．
First of all，you have to remember that you get what you give．If you are nice to others，then others will be nice to you as well．You also need to set personal space for yourself and for the other person．So before your new roommate moves in，talk to him．Set the rules early and discuss your hopes．
Remember that there are two things that make up any good relationship：belief and respect．The same thing applies to having a roommate．You have to respect each other．So he has that new PS3game that you've always wanted to try out？Ask permission first．If he says no，don't ask him for it again．If he lets you borrow his stuff，take care of the item and treat it as if it were your own．Make sure that you return it in the same condition as when you borrowed it．
To keep away from disagreement over who does the housework，clean as you go．For housework that can be shared，you may want to divide it equally so that you don't do all of it．Take turns in washing the dishes．You may do it every other day or you may divide the task so that you only have to do it in the morning and your roommate will only have to do it at night．
When it comes to food and grocery items，determine what can be shared．Don't be too mean when it comes to sharing food．On the other hand，determine what you can share and what you can't and be clear about it．The advantages of sharing food is that both of you can save on time and food preparation．
