I'm finally moving from my parent's house and I think it's great! I've always wanted to live by my own, have all the freedoom I need and it's a plus I'm going to a city I love.
I can't afford living alone so I'll share a flat. I haven't met my future flatmates yet and I'll move in the beginning of September. I just know they are older than me, a couple and a boy, all of them work while I'm a student. Ah, and there was still a empty room when I choose mine so maybe there's anyone else.
I like the idea but I'm not sure I will know how to start a conversation with them... I want to get along, not to be always in my room. But I'm not that good at small talk, and I guess I will need at least in the beginning. I usually I'm more open and social with strangers... when I don't know that I'll see them again or when they're are my friends's friends. But now it's a different story because I want to give a nice, but truthful, impression, because I will be with them all the year long, and I don't know what I could have in common with them.
When I was in the living room I saw a poster of the 'Control' movie, so I've thought about saying something about that and maybe starting talking about music and so on. But I'm still a bit lost and anxious.
I would appreciate any tips about small talk, any stories and experiencies about flatmates or something you want to say.
