The other night, my roommate and I had a pretty big heart to heart. We basically spilled our guts to each other about everything from our past and various things happening in our present lives. We learned a lot about and realized we've been through a lot of similar things. If you and your roommate reach that point on late nights where things start getting deep, here are a few ideas of what you could talk/ask about. I guarantee you have much more in common with them than you think.
1. Relationships.
Venting about relationship problems, new budding romances, or future plans allows you guys to bounce ideas off of each other. If needed, you can ask for advice, since your roommate is on the outside looking in and they'll have an unbiased opinion. You don't have to get too in depth, a simply summary will work; asking for advice or a vent session will truly bring you guys closer.
2. Dreams & Aspirations.
You can both be a source of encouragement and support for chasing your goals. We all need a pep talk every once in a while and it's nice to be reminded that there's still so much time left, after all we are only in college. Through this you're also able to find comfort within the journey of achieving your dreams.
3. Issues from your past .
If you're feeling like getting extra personal, this one is for you. You guys can provide each other with comfort and advice along with sharing stories of similar experiences. Whether you talk about family issues or your high school career, you're guaranteed to feel closer to your roommate.
