    I made a similar move too! I saved up so much money living in a two bedroom house with two other girls so basically I was sharing a bedroom. But then Covid hit and then I was stuck and cramped. I fell into a dark mental place that suck all the motivation out of me. And then I moved home and that was good at first but then family stuff took a toll. So now I moved away and I am living alone. It took a huge hit on my finances but I think for what I wanted to achieve, it will prove to have been worth it in the long run.

    The new place is so cute esp. with the upgrades with the peel-n-stick! The Herd supports whatever is best for you. It's not talked about enough how much your living situation impacts your mental health and I'm glad you are able to arrange your life to give you the best support. I know I want to live in my own place when I'm in med school if I can afford to (if I end up in NYC I think it's probably unrealistic). When I lived on my own it was what really worked best for me.

    Rachel, the box cutting knife usually has breakable bits that you can break off and then you have a sharp blade. I'm happy to see you're taking some space for yourself! It sucks to only study in the same room, and I sometimes do anki traversing the apartment to help me think (and a change of scenery is nice once in a while).
