Apartment Hunting

It is currently around 12:30am on a Saturday night and what am I doing? Browsing craigslist, google & Kijiji for apartments. I'm moving in with my friend Katherine next year, which is exciting, but also stressful.

Now, I know it's January, and we're going to be living wherever in September, but apartments like you to lease in like, May, apparently. We're looking for a 2 bedroom, 4.5 all-inclusive place near campus. Pretty specific, but you kind of need to be.

So far we have a few places to tour, all very nice and close enough to school to walk (because I am NOT buying a metropass every month). But what's frustrating is like I said, it's January. That's WAY too early to start asking places to put a room on hold.

The thing is, I really don't want us to have to settle on a place. I HATE settling, it's worse than giving up. I want somewhere that we're comfortable with, and didn't have to look around for months to find. I know I'm thinking like we're in this perfect world where I'll find a building with everything we need right beside the main campus building, but... oh wait, I did find a place like that!

We tried to get a tour there but it's still too early. I just wanted to maybe pay a security deposit or something so we'd be guaranteed a spot, before all the vicious Concordians find that place and there's no space left!

The hunt continues. Wish us luck!

  1. You could always live with me. I have 2 spare bedrooms...but the daily commute across 3 provinces would suck! hahahaha
