Apartment Update #3

Okay, as you know I went to look at an apartment yesterday. I knew that a lot of other people had already showed interest in the apartment, and I was one of the last ones to do it, so I wasn't expecting something really. But as soon as I stepped into the apartment, I absolutely fell in love.
It was small and filled with natural light, amazingly cozy, with a lot of potential. It was located in an old, beautiful wooden house, less than 15 minutes from my university by foot in a pretty quiet neighbourhood. It was perfect for me, and knowing that I shouldn't get my hopes up since the odds were against me because of the number of people who had applied.
Then, last night, I get an email from the person who owns the apartment. I'm completely prepared for bad news, but when I open the email, it says I'm their favourite and they would like me to be their new tenant! First, I think I didn't read it correctly, and I read it again. They ask me to come sign the papers today, and I said yes...
I've been waiting to move into my own place for so long, and now that it's finally happening, I can barely believe it. I'm going to finally live alone. I'm going to have my own space, my own time and I won't have to share said space and time with someone else. And, I'm going to live in a place I view as ideal.
I'm honestly so happy and still kind of shocked. I'm really exited about finally living alone. I'm going to wake up without someone waking me up too early, or having to take someone elses needs into consideration whenever something needs to be done. I get to be selfish and I love the idea of just thinking about me, myself and I for a change.
Also, the fact that everything is within walking distance is absolutely great, since I value environmentalism. I can walk to school, and I can walk to every store I might ever need, pharmacies... Everything. Besides living so close to my university buildings makes it possible for me to sleep longer on school days, since the time I spend taking myself to my lectures is going to be cut in half, and I won't have to worry about missing the bus. I really dislike stressful moments in my life, and I look forward to removing another object of stress for me.
I can't wait to sign the papers!
Hugs from a very exited bluehaired new tenant!

Apartment update #2

   As you know, I've been looking for a new apartment for a while now, and it's been a real struggle for that while. Finding a new apartment has been surprisingly hard, and I was really close to just giving up, declaring defeat and moving in with some random person instead of finding my own place to live instead of living like I want to.
   I went to one of the oddest meetups a few days ago, a person was supposed to show me an apartment, and a friend of mine decided to be nice and drive me. Which was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me, since the meetup was awful. We drove for like forever, and got lost twice, and when we get to the correct place, I get all sorts of odd feelings. The porch is filled with wooden boards, the door looks like it's going to fall apart and the whole house looks run-down. And the person who was supposed to meet up with me to show me the apartment, wasn't there and wasn't answering the phon when I tried calling. Needless to say, me and my friend got out of there right away.
   But then I placde an open add on the Internet, and I got a ton of responses. I've managed to actually have some apartments to pick from, some that are actually quite ideal and some that I can picture myself living in. I think that's a good sign. I have had a lot of emails in my inbox recently and I really feel like this has taken a turn for the better. Putting yourself out there really works, and I would highly really recommend it for anyone looking for an apartment.
   As for the future, I have two new people to meet up with in the close future. I have an apartment showing to attend this Saturday, and one on Wednesday, and I'm looking forward to both a lot. Both apartments seem really great, and I hope they'll be just as good as they seem.
   Wish me luck!
Hugs from a temporary place!

Apartment Update #1

   I'm currently looking for an apartment of my own since my current solution is going to be temporary (besides, I think I'd like to live on my own), and I'm honestly really baffled by how hard it is.
   Honestly, it's not like my demands for an apartment are incredibly high. I want a light, small space where I can shower, wash my clothes, sleep and cook some food. That's literally it. I don't need anything else, but somehow, that's absolutely impossible to find. I just don't get it. All I want is a simple space to myself, and somewhere I can live and relax, a place where I can study and I can spend time doing whatever I want. But I can't. Since that's incredibly hard to find, and I don't get it.
   Of course, at the moment I have a bit space, I have a place to eat, sleep and do my work and I'm really happy about it. But this isn't temporary and I can't wait to find my own place and make it my home.
   Besides, I need my own space. It's not that I dislike my roommate or anything, it's just that living so close to someone else is a very odd experience, one that I feel very strange about. Even though I don't mind his company, but I can't shake the feeling that having my own space would be great. Just to imagine not having to consider every time someone else needs the kitchen (yes, such a little thing as that) or to think that I can play my music without my headphones constantly on, makes me really happy, which of course is because I'd love to live alone.
   So yes, as for now, I do share an apartment with someone, but I am looking forward to having my own apartment sometime, as soon as possible. And as soon as I do, I'm going to tell you all about it. And of course, I'll walk you through the process!
   Hugs from Turku!
