Tips I should Follow During My First Co-living Experience

5 Best Tips for you to follow during your first co-living experience:

• Make Good Use of Space
• Buy a Laundry Basket
• Set Healthy Boundaries with Your Roomie
• Keep your Bed and Workstation Clutter-free
• Always keep a Snack Box Ready

Make Good Use of Space

Living in a co-living space might often mean not being able to buy that gigantic lampstand. Or storing that humongous teddy bear from your special someone. But with some clever use of space, you can store all other things pretty neatly. For starters, don’t forget to utilize the space under your bed or the space above your cupboard. And for the rest of the tiny stuff, we recommend buying a few storage boxes or collapsible drawers from any online marketplace. But here’s the most important tip – stop hoarding. Leave that to your mum, cuz she’s an expert at making good use of useless things in the house (nope, we’re not talking about you).

Buy a Laundry Basket

Sure, the co-living space you’re put up in (like Stanza Living) might just take your laundry to the washing machine every other day. But in the meantime, make sure to buy a laundry basket. It’ll keep the clutter out of your room and build a practice where you don’t mix up your laundry items. Otherwise, imagine if your office decides to throw a surprise party, and all you have left in your wardrobe is that one shirt your distant aunt gifted you before you left home. The one that’s more oversized than a hip-hop artist’s T-shirt and comes minus the drip.

Set Healthy Boundaries with Your Roomie

Forget everything else, if you’re sharing a room with someone, setting up boundaries is the important favor you can do for yourself. That might include allocating specific areas of the room to keep each other’s stuff. Or a no-touch rule when it comes to your study table. Or asking them not to litter the room with their socks, belts, and whatnot. Again, don’t take these things lightly. Or else, there’s soon gonna be a lot of tension in the room. Kinda like when your ex and your current date get invited to the same party by your mutual friends.

Keep your Bed and Workstation Clutter-free

When you’re sharing a room with a roomie, or two, or three, your bed and work table are often the only things you can call entirely your own. So needless to say, keeping them clutter-free can keep your head clutter-free too. Also, we know pulling off all-nighters might mean leaving your notebooks and stationeries all over the place and leaving for college. So make sure you avoid that and come back home to a workstation so pleasing, that it makes you want to put up a #workmode story on Insta.

Always keep a Snack Box Ready

Most PGs will just serve you two full meals a day, or three at best. Of course, not when it’s Stanza Living where you have a cafe menu too. But Stanza or not, you should always have a snack box ready with your fav munchies and a couple of packaged beverages. Because like unsolicited virtue-signaling replies on your social media posts, you never know when you’re gonna be bombarded with your cravings.
