Upscale College Life
By BekanatorI've been living in my apartment since May, and most of the people who visit tend to say that it's a nice place. Even my boss agreed, and he is an interior designer. I guess part of my luck stems from my working at a home decor store, where nice decor is on for cheap ass prices.
The other day my friends were saying that I shouldn't be spending my benjamins on making my apartment look nice. But I take pride in having a nice home, because living in a shit hut just isn't my idea of cool. I want to be able to study in a room that is comfortable and funky, not where the table is from two decades ago and the walls are as bare as a baby's ass.
It might cost a few pennies, but at least my investments are completely worthwhile. Food is usually a waste of money anyway.

Agreed! I'm liiving currently in downtown Vancouver in your aforementioned shit hut and I can't wait to move out into something with a little more room, and a little more space to make it my own. (Can't do it so much here because I'm building a portfolio to apply for a job - as in I don't have one yet -and I'm sharing a room - yes, a room, not just the apartment - with a another guy). But someday soon...
It just doesn't really feel like a 'home' or a relaxing place when it's not your own. Maybe to some degree, and you'd get used to it over time, but it's way better to make it your own and really own the space. Plus, then when people say it looks nice, it's almost twice the compliment.
