It’s something that I knew would be stressful and exciting, and I was especially keen to see what my allotted monthly budget would afford me in such a town. After what seemed like hours of sprinting up and down flights of stairs, dodging pedestrians with my sopping wet umbrella and hauling my crossbody bag full of paperwork, we had made it through.

It became apparent to me that I would have learn how to utilize every inch of my apartment and make it count. Closet space (or lack thereof ) will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge for me.
