College can be tough, between managing your schoolwork and your social life. Sometimes connecting with your roommates may fall low on your list of things to do, they may have different majors, different schedules or play sports. Bonding with your roommates is extremely important because, let’s face it, you do have to live with them. Here are some fun ways to bond with your roommates when it seems like there is no time for anyone or anything.
Go shopping together
Have fun walking around the King of Prussia Mall and do some window shopping and maybe buy that cute shirt you’ve been eyeing to wear out this weekend.
Have a movie night
Sometimes a low key night is needed with your roommates. So pick a movie, make some popcorn and maybe open a bottle of wine and enjoy a night in.
Redecorate your room
Picking out some new posters or hanging some pictures up with each other is a fun way to spruce up your dorm room and have fun with your roommate at the same time.
Have a roommate dinner and cook for each other
Pick a recipe and cook dinner with your roomie. It is a fun way to have a home cooked meal and skip going to the cafeteria. Somewhere between the sleepless night and hiding in the library, you both forgot what it was like to sit down and have a good meal. Sit down and enjoy a meal that doesn’t require you to swipe your Cabrini ID in order to pay for it.
Go to a party together
Sure there are most nights you and roomie may do your own thing but make it a point to go out together. Have fun and learn more about each other by stepping out into the party scene together and enjoy the weekend. Maybe even order some late-night pizza together.
Study together
Sometimes hiding out in the library can get pretty lonely and boring but if you go with your roommate, it can be a little less painful while studying for that big science test. Not to mention, your roommate can always encourage you to take those well-deserved food and chit-chat breaks.
