Shared accommodation like

I am actually a 1st year student, though, I am going to rent a flat with my cousin. But right now I am stuck in shared accommodation. The whole summer I've spent with some random strangers, some of them were really, extremely bad, but some of them were the best!

My 5 tips for all of you who don't know what to expect from those houses of doom:

1. If you live with boys - prepare yourself of random wet spots on the toilet seat.

2. Always lock your bedroom doors. You never know who to trust. You can never be 100% sure about people you hardly even know.

3. Be ready to clean up not only your mess. There is this type of people who just don't care if it's disgusting and there are you - a person who politely hoovers somebody's dirt.

4. Communal dishes and pans - why not? It is always a good idea to split costs. You can get a proper set from Tefal (love it) for about 60 quid. Let's add a few plates. You don't need a set of 6 bowls for yourself only, do you?

5. Keep valuables in the drawers. If you own lots of $$$ just don't DON'T put it on top of your desk opposite the doors! My fav - drawers with my knickers. Once again, you have no idea who you are living with.
