move into my own apartment

It’s not easy living with people who are not supportive of what you want to do or achieve. Whether it’s blatantly airing it out or just making you feel uncomfortable—it stunts your growth.

I am very conscious of the people I’m living with. I am more at ease working in my own space without having people around. I don’t know why.

I am gradually learning to get to the roots of all my issues. From way back when I was a kid. How I grew up, the circumstances that made me what I am.

We all have insecurities but it’s only healthy when confidence outweighs them.

I have splinters of insecurities stuck on my ego. I need a wicked pair of tweezers to pull them out.

So I told my roommate that I was thinking I’d like to have my own apartment, and that the best time for me to move would be in January because that’s when I have a break from classes. She wasn’t totally opposed to the idea! I also explained that it was going to be difficult for me this spring when I go back to work full time while going to school, because I’ll be doing homework in the evenings when I need it to be quiet.

Our lease doesn’t end until June, though, and we don’t want to have to pay the extra month’s rent for breaking the lease. We’re hoping to talk to management soon and ask if there’s a way to waive that fee if we both got apartments in this same complex.

Here’s to hoping for the best!

When I first graduated from college, I got an apartment of my own as soon as I got my first job. At the time, it didn’t feel as great as I thought it would, but that was because I didn’t have any friends there and I hated my job. Living alone wasn’t good for me when I was stressed and lonely.

Then I decided to go to grad school, so I moved to a new city with a girl I knew and we’ve been roommates for 2 years now. While the change has been good for me (I got a job I liked, I love the city, and I have friends), I’m getting tired of the living situation. I like my roommate as a friend, and we’ve had a lot of good times living together, but some things have been getting to me lately. She’s a lot messier than me, the dog she bought has ruined the carpets and taken up so much space with all his accessories, she never lets me decorate any part of our shared spaces, she continually buys stuff we don’t have room for, and lately she’s been inviting people over a lot, which makes it difficult for me to relax and study.

Even though getting my own apartment will be more difficult to afford and I’d probably have to downgrade to something smaller, I think I need the peace of mind and the control over my own space. I want to be able to do homework with no distraction, decorate my own living room and kitchen, have freedom and a clean space.

Our lease ends in the summer, so I have a little while to wait, but I’m hoping the time will go by quickly :) Until then, I’ll just carry on like I have been: keeping quiet about the things that bother me, because I don’t want to strain a friendship over petty annoyances.

I am now working on getting a job again. I will have to close all my debts first, then finally move out. I can’t be rash though, I need this to be thought out well before I charge.

Since I live with my parents, I don’t have my own stuff yet. Main essentials would be a bed, fridge, kitchen stuff because I don’t want to live off take outs, and a couch.

My insides are doing backflips. I’m excited. Scared though, but I know I want this. It’s about time.

I got to get out of this place. It’s driving me insane living here with the instability.

Its on my five year plan to get my own place. By ‘my own’ I mean no roommates unless they’re of an SO variety and in a stable relationship sense. I just need some time in my own space and on my own.

Seriously. Living with strangers off of craigslist, even if they are half normal, is no way to live! All I want is a modest studio!

I swear i want to move into my own apartment , then i can have my absolutely clean space and don’t have to worry about that i ‘ll see a mess stuff when day off entering the noisy house.BUT i am not dare to _~~SIGH… i am afraid of dark night, afraid of being alone at home , i am a blah-blah-blah girl :-(

i need to move in on my own b’cuz no one seems to be understanding me… they think my dreams are too lofty to fit into reality…that’s y i need my own space… also in my ‘freetime’ i can read fiction,listen to music or text message my buddies without sum1 shouting behind my shoulders all d while !! simply put…”i wanna b independant” #

not for me to do right now.

i am in a good place.

my roommate has been with me through thick and thin, craziness and somewhat sane moments. we may fight, but what is great is that our friendship can withstand each others problems, hysterics, paranoia, emotional melt downs, and you know still sit down, have a bagel and tell each other the weird dream we had last night.

i might have lost my studio, to accomadate another roommate moving in, so we could make the rent burden a little less… burdensome. but we both promise each other its only temporary. we just have to get through this lease, and then a house… we’re discussing and searching for other roommates that we wont kill and bury in the basement.

i still want my own place. right now i just think i have more important things to be focusing on.

need a job first
