 When I graduated from high school I stayed at home my first year of college.  Most of my friends moved out after high school.  I wanted to save money before I moved out.  After my first year of college I moved out that summer.  I didn’t think I would be moving very much, but honestly I have received the name “gypsy” from my parents.  Gypsy means someone that travels or moves around.  You see, I haven’t lived with my parents for almost five years now.  Between those times I have moved 7 times not including my move to be made in about 2 months.  I have lived all around Duluth.  Currently I am living on Pike Lake.  Compared to my last place that I lived in Kenwood, Pike Lake is one of my least favorite living situations. 

My Kenwood apartment was in the heart of everything.  If I had to travel downtown or into the country I had a straight shot and so many options that I could take to get to my destiny. The shopping center was in walking distance.  Everything was there!  Kenwood was my favorite place out the entire place’s I have lived at.  I lived with my best friend.  When my friend and I moved out of our apartment in Kenwood, I was incredibly sad.  Kenwood was my favorite place out the entire place’s I have lived at.  I lived with my best friend.  Surprisingly she is the best roommate that I have had besides she was one of the messiest, but I learned to live with it.  I have had a lot of roommates.  There are many ups and downs to moving.  Moving out of my Kenwood apartment was very sad.         

Living on Pike Lake it is very different.  The only upside to it is that I live on a Lake.  It’s great for the summer!  Right now, I want out!  I rent a room from an older mother type of a lady and her son lives there as well as his girlfriend.  Renting a room is different than having your own place.  I am free to use everything in the house but it doesn’t feel right because it is not mine.  When I am home I am mostly in my room.  I feel like I am confined to this box of a room where all my things are just piled upon each other.  It’s not like my apartment in Kenwood where I roamed around freely and felt comfortable about it.  Sometimes I feel like I am walking on eggshells in my current living situation.  There is always someone around or in the way.  The older motherly type I live with is very nice but she has issues with her son that lives with us.  They are technically not getting a long right now.  At times when I come home from work late at night she will be in her room and hear me come home.  She will come out half in the bag and want to talk about her issues with her son.  I didn’t mind at first but now it is starting to get really old and frustrating.  If I knew it was going to be like this I wouldn’t have moved in.  I keep telling myself it will be over soon.  One of the biggest downfalls is the driving.  Most of the time I have to drive threw the Mall.   There is so much traffic and most of the time I will hit all the red lights.  Not to mention it takes me a half hour to get to work.  Compared to Kenwood I feel like I am taking a road trip to just get to work.         

Two more months, that’s what I keep on telling myself.  I will be making one of my many moves to my next destination.  Hopefully this one will be better than the one I am in right now.  My current living situation isn’t the best compared to my apartment that I lived in Kenwood.  There are many downs and a few little ups for my current living situation on Pike Lake.  Nothing will beat my Kenwood apartment at least for now.
