The apartment is a laboratory in which we conduct experiments, perform research on each other. We discover Henry hates it when I absentmindedly click my spoon against my teeth while reading the paper at breakfast. We agree that it is okay for me to listen to Joni Mitchell and it is okay for Henry to listen to the Shaggs as long as the other person isn't around. We figure out that Henry should do all the cooking and I should be in charge of laundry and neither of us is willing to vacuum so we hire a cleaning service. . Audrey Niffenegger
About This Quote

Apartment. A small space where we live, work and play all at once. We fill our apartment with our belongings and clutter of the past. Sometimes we leave things as they are and sometimes we decide to clean it out and let it go.

For those who have an apartment, they know that it is a place where they can do experiments on each other. There are unwritten rules of conduct that they must follow or else their apartment might become a home for bugs and insects. These experiments make a person a better person by understanding the types of people you would like to be around.

You can learn from your roommate about your own weaknesses and make a conscious effort to overcome them.
