Your roommate has turned your room into a garbage dump, filled with rotten leftover food and unwashed clothes. Assuming that you don't like living with rotting food and dirty clothes, what coping strategies described in this section might help you?
What will be an ideal response?
You might solve the problem by finding a compromise (e.g., cleaning the room together). You could reappraise the seriousness of the problem ("I only have to live with this person until the end of the term") or compare your roommate to others who are worse ("At least mine is generous and friendly"). And you might mobilize some social support, perhaps by offering your friends a pizza if they help you clean up.
