"I just moved over here four months ago from Chicago. My roommate and I were looking for a place and it was really difficult. We actually live across the bay in Oakland. We didn't want to get a lease, but we finally found this really nice place and it's like we have our own little area. It's hard to find an actual place you can call home, you know? Just getting adjusted over here has been a little bit of a challenge, but I finally feel settled. I wanted to go to school in the fall, but honestly, my friend just needed a roommate –– she's been going to FIDM and I'd just been living in Chicago for so long –– I've always wanted to live out here. It's beautiful. It was just spur-of-the-moment, but it was the right timing."
