put the toilet seat down, and if u shave ur face, please clean up the sink when ur done😭 also if they have long hair its going to end up in a lot of places, everyone sheds but longer hair is more noticeable, its not in anyone’s control beyond just cleaning when needed

Toilet seat! Keep any shavings (beard & otherwise) cleaned up. Might want to get a Costco card for the apartment. Create a kitty that everyone pays into for toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Make a weekly chore rota. Decide the level of acceptable casual undress for the apartment as a group (not everyone is comfortable with boxers/bra & panties in the apartment.) Have a white board calendar where everyone puts plans/friend invites.

Decide how often you all are comfortable with friends or dates being over and what the warning time is (if any). I’d say you should also try to have a once a week apartment dinner that gets cooked or bought on rota but maybe that’s just me.

Ok i think once we all move in we’re gonna talk about those things. For context we’re in college. But yeah gotta talk over those things with each other

I figured, and it’s silly but just having lived with people then counting toilet rolls and ending up bringing my own roll into the bathroom because I was the only one replacing any didn’t help in my experience, if everyone paid in and more than enough got bought I think we’d have gotten along better. And everyone’s more likely to clean if the supplies are already bought and they don’t have to buy them, plus if anyone doesn’t like a certain scent or something then it doesn’t get bought at all.

Wait till you find hair in your buttcrack somehow. My brother said he didn’t realize how much random hair he found till moving out and not living with my mom and I.

I didn’t realize how much hair was everywhere until I got a buzz cut and realized much hair was being left behind by my friends/sisters
