Where do I live?

A recently got a comment from my sister’s Alaia and Raine that I should make a post on my blog about where I live. Raine said: “They can’t tell if you live in a dorm or with us, or in a house.” And then Alaia added: “And it’s important for them to know as you have to connect with your readers.”

I’m really happy that my 18 and 17 year old sisters are taking interest in my blog, as it gives me a real confidence boost. As well as the fact that you guys are commenting and liking!! That’s unreal that people actually read my stuff.

But, now, onto the question: Where do I live?

I live in Manitoba obviously, as I attend the UoM. I do not live in residence or with my family. I rent my own house!

Now, it is pretty hard to rent when you are in university, as it is expensive. But thanks to my tutoring business on the side, (oh yeah, thats right! I forgot to mention that I tutor 6 kids in Math studies ;)) I have a small apartment which has a kitchen, dining / living room, storage room, bedroom, bathroom, and a small lounge. (which is surprising considering how its a apartment and how small it is!!) Now, it is pretty tiny, but in the future, I’m hoping to move out and live with Zack when I marry him.

Now another thing you might ask is: Isn’t it better to live on Campus when you attend Unniveristy?

I would say or some, yes. For others like me you need their personal space and need to have a place to call home, no. For me, I do my Morning Routine, go to university (I’ll maybe do a post on my daily day in university) come home and do my evening routine (which consists of a lot of things, including tutoring) and then head to bed and repeat the next day.

I love being able to come home to a space of my own which separates me from school. It makes me feel independent and for me, I enjoy it! Everyone is different, but renting really works well for me.
