You're allowed to be happy.
So I have this friend (I’ll call her J). Early 30s, sarcastic and sassy. We get along great. During the summer, we partake in sangria Tuesdays almost every week.

finding roommates is hard to do.
Dani: I feel bad that I have to email these girls and tell them we've already found a roommate. And that roommate is not them.
Alex: Well, that's what happens when you're apartment hunting.

monday check-in.
Obsessing over: Finding a new roommate! But I think the search is over, so hurray. Once the new roomie is approved, I’ll breathe a sigh of relief.
Working on: Job applications and getting organized.
Thinking about: Lunch. But that’s because I’m getting hungry.

I think everyone should work in food service at least once, simply because it cultivates an empathy that, as far as I can tell, is otherwise nonexistent. Anyone who claims that the United States is free from day-to-day classism has clearly missed out on what it’s like to be the person behind the…

She was sad to...
