Why Can't I Have Nice Things??

Maybe I’m just meant to not have things go right. That’s honestly how I’m feeling today. I make plans and figure out a way, think it will be the best thing for me, and then something goes and gets in the way. Growing up in a religious home, everyone tells me that it’s God’s way of directing my life, but I’m not so sure about that. I think it’s because I drew the short stick.

Here’s what happened…

I decided last week that I’m done living in campus housing. Dorms are full of drama and very immature people. I’m over that scene. I love my roommate Rikki, but the others in the apartment drive me nuts. So I said I wanted out. I found an apartment that I liked, private room, nice girls, CLEAN (something that is lacking with my current housemates) and it was the same price as what I’m paying. It seemed perfect.

In past years, if you wanted out of your housing contract for spring all you had to do was sign a paper. That policy changed this week. I went and talked to the housing director to find out what I could do and he told me the change was because all the mormon kids want to go on missions and everyone is leaving so the school is losing money. To move out if you aren’t getting married or going to the military, you have to sell your contract. With what I have to offer, I don’t think anyone is going to want to take my space. I can’t afford to pay 2 rents. Looks like I’m stuck.

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I highly doubt I’m going to have enough money to even finish school. I just feel like I’m trying to get ahead and I’m getting thrown eight feet back. So what do I do? Stay in a sucky housing situation, or try to market my space, knowing it probably won’t sell?

If you were me, what would you do??
