Best Tips To Make Your PG Life Easier

5 tips to make your PG life easier in 2022:

• Be Friendly But Never Intrusive
• Share When You Can
• Set Your Boundaries
• Take Care Of Your Belongings
• Make A Budget And Follow It

Be Friendly But Never Intrusive

PG life or just the act of leaving your hometown is mostly about meeting new people, gathering new ideas, and finding a sense of community. So we suggest you be friends with everyone in your hostel, even the ones who may not be friendly with you at first. Because once they see you’re approachable, you’ll always have someone willing to open up with you. Now, now, don’t be intrusive too. Some things take time and so should you. Unless you’re an aspiring VICE Tv host practicing the art of poking your noses into anything and everything.

Share When You Can

Perhaps the biggest lesson you can learn from your hostel life is the concept of sharing. The more time you spend in a co-living space, the more you learn to share. Now, that may include food, your everyday struggles, and Ummm, well, food again. Yep, never ever order or cook something and then not offer your roommates a chance to grab a bite. In short, to share is to care. Unless you’re talking about face masks.

Set Your Boundaries

Boundaries are important in everything. Whether you talk about sharing a room, building a healthy relationship, or cricket. So when we said something about being friendly earlier, we didn’t mean you should compromise on your basic needs or wants just to accommodate someone else. Like come on, it’s not rude to tell a roomie to not have their dirty socks lying around on the floor. Or not to eavesdrop on your personal conversations. Or not to listen to Akash Chopra’s commentary on loudspeaker.

Take Care Of Your Belongings

If you don’t take care of your belongings in the hostel, no one else will. Especially not your mum since they’ll be states apart. Also, let’s admit it, after local buses, hostels may be subject to the highest number of thefts. But the funny thing is, most of them are not even thefts. Just someone accidentally exchanging similar pairs of flip flops or t-shirts. But whatever may be the seriousness of the mishap, you can simply avoid it by keeping a check on your belongings. And refraining from things like leaving your precious watch on the toilet shelf in the common washroom.

Make A Budget And Follow It

You thought you could simply avoid budgeting by moving into a PG, didn’t you? Well sure, living in a PG simplifies a lot of your expenses. But you still need to keep a check on your wallet. Because before you even realize it, your wallet will be emptied when you order takeaways to avoid the veg days in your hostel mess. Or hanging out way more than you should in the nearest cafe. You know, a little bit of financial planning never hurt anybody. So..
