Some roommates can become the best of friends, others can be a real pain, it depends, so here's how to keep it cool with your roommate.
Shut your cell phone off at night, the ringing or the music ring tone of the phone, can wake your roommate up, and they could get cranky, especially when they tired and sleeping, that's the worse time to make noise and talk on the phone, and odds are if your roommate is doing it, tell them in a nice way
Don't touch their closet
If your roommate is in a bad mood, understand thrift moods, don't ask them what's wrong, just let them be
If you wake up early and you room has a light, put on the nightlight very low, if you are lucky enough to have a TV in your room then put the volume on low
Invite them to parties or even ask them to the movies, that might help develop your friendship
Have good hygiene, and fix your bed every morning, I don't want you to make your roommate think you are irresponsible, that could tick them off
