To move or not to move, that is the bare bodkin.
Actually, I have made up my mind that I would like to move. It may only be a temporary thing, but seeing as my parents are charging me up the wazoo to live with them, I might as well live somewhere else instead.
So the idea that I have is to sublease an apartment during the summer. I looked at a really cute studio for $325 in Dogtown. It was really quiet there. Really nice and peaceful. I liked it a lot. I also looked at a place one block north of Delmar in the U City Loop (right behind Blockbuster, near Ciceros). There, I would have a roommate who is studying social work at Washington University. It seems like a pretty nice deal ($250). I’d be where it’s at. Both places are within a mile and a half of my office.
What should I do??? Where should I live? Or should I hold out? Maybe I’d find a better deal on a better place. *Sigh* I hate making decisions. I never know what to do. Help!!
Lisa,
My sister lived in dogtown and LOVED it. Wonderful location if you don’t mind being about 5 miles from a less nice place. The loop is also wonderful and full of people your age (both are), but probably full of a more eclectic, student crowd. Dogtown seems to have a few more young post-graduates. Either way, I’m coming to the housewarming.

But Lisa, making decisions is the best part of being an adult!
I’m not kidding – they really are.
My only suggestion (because I’m not going to give you any recommendations or suggest one place over the other) is that you NOT sublease. get a one-year lease somewhere.
Moving more than once in a year sucks. I know.

Hmm, no clue on which place. Either one works for going out partying though, right?
Know you’ll be hitting all those bars, drinking, etc.
Course, I’m just teasing, but either place sounds like it would be a good place to grab a few beers and just be able to walk home without having to worry about parking.
