Give a Warm Hello

Things between you and your roommate getting a little frosty during this gloomy (and grumpy) time of year? Warming up roomie relations, according to Rubin, can start with a simple hello. "To be happier at home with your roommates (or anyone you live with!): practice warm greetings and farewells. People get in the habit of just coming and going, but, you know, you want to feel like people care when you're coming and going! It's so easy to get distracted during busy mornings and evenings, but if you take those important moments twice a day, it can really make for a happier home environment." Now, if we could only get our beloved bunkmate to clean those dishes in the sink...ahem.
