Being an adult is fun and hard at the same time. You make your own decisions, you can do whatever you want and you actually don’t need to ask permission from your parents to do things—you only have to let them know. The downside of ‘adulting’ and being a student is looking for a good and cheap/affordable apartment that will house 3 people and at the same time has 2 baths because all three people have the same start of class.
When I moved to study, I found a good apartment, the place and the owners are nice, and I gotta live with a friend who’s also my classmate. However, months after, we’ve learned that they’re going to add another room in the basement (where me and a friend/classmate was staying). They apologized because it was sudden. As the room were nearing its completion, we found out that they were actually building/adding two rooms. All we thought that there will be four of us staying in the basement (4rooms=4people) but days before they could move in, we were told that there’s gonna be five of us now. At first I agreed to it, because in the first place I don’t think I have a say to their decision. Besides, it’s their house—we’re just renters.
The only main concern I have before was our schedule to use the bathroom. As my schedule in school was irregular last term, I was ok with it. Then things began to turn sour last December. For whatever reason, all of them (except my friend/classmate), started yelling and talk with their loud voices; they watch movies in loud volume and they started practicing a folk dance that they will be performing this coming February. Since it’s only the start of term two and we actually don’t have any tests or paper that was due last December, we didn’t say anything. We thought that they will eventually stop once we get back from our break—which is after new year. And well, they kept on asking us whether we have something to do or if we’re gonna be busy, we answered that after new year we will be.
I assumed that after we got back from our break, they will stop talking in loud voices or that the couple who owned the house will at least talk to the other renter whose voice is really loud. Just like what they did when we were looking at the rooms in the basement—the husband told us that it’s okay to have visitors as long as we’re not loud because there are students studying. It makes me wonder how come they won’t remind the other tenants to pipe down as we are students who are trying to study. It actually came to the point wherein their noise are unbearable. Oh and yes, disgusting behaviours by another tenant whom we share the washroom downstairs with had made me think twice whether I should continue to stay there or to start to pack my things already.
As days go by, I’ve noticed that these mishaps we’re experiencing is getting worst. My friend is now willing to move out and we’re both trying to find an apartment that will accommodate our needs. And of course an apartment that will be within our budget. Or maybe I can just drive home every day. I don’t know—but I am sure that I don’t wanna stay in our apartment any longer.
Alright, that’s it for my rant this month. lol
