There are many legends and rumors about life in a hostel, and some often contradict others. Some recollect the years in a student hostel as the most cheerful and bright in their lives, others tell blood-curdling details about fights, bullying and dissolute morals. What memories you will have depends largely on how you set yourself up and how you will behave in the future.
Instructions
Step 1
Build good relationships with your roommates. This is the first priority. After all, with these people you will live side by side for more than one year. Do not be afraid, do not fawn, do not lie, and do not try to command. Be friendly, but immediately cross any attempts to sit on your neck. Once you agree to run out for a beer or clean the room out of turn, and your reputation as a weakling is assured. The same goes for the elders. Remember, the hostel is not an army. No one will kick you with tarpaulin boots and force you to clean the toilet with toothbrushes. But trying to make you a servant is quite possible. After the "authoritative" old-timers are convinced of your independence, they will lag behind.
Step 2
Handle your money right. Usually, not the most wealthy students live in the hostel, and the lack of money for them is a common thing. Learn to save money and do not borrow if your budget is very modest. And never tell anyone how much money you really have, even if you can afford to dine in a restaurant. There are enough lovers to live at someone else's expense in a hostel. But if you have a common room for several people, this does not mean that you should share everything else.
Step 3
Take part in parties and hanging out together. You shouldn't break away from the team. Such assholes do not enjoy respect and love. It is not at all necessary to get drunk to an unconscious state to be recognized as your own on the board. Believe me, it is possible to have fun in the hostel and to pass sessions for one grade. It's just a matter of self-organization and desire.
Step 4
Learn to be friends. It is very useful to be able to defend your opinion and not succumb to provocations. But it is equally important to come to the rescue in time if the comrade really needs it. Do not become isolated in yourself and do not look only for enemies around. Often, acquaintances and friendships that have appeared in the hostel, people keep all their lives.
