Having my own place in a great neighborhood in a wonderful city has not quite been the dream I imagined. But I would attribute the shortcoming not to choices I made on location and amenities, rather one small figure has made it a drag: free time/square feet.
I’d argue that for whatever reason, less free time and more space are mutually repellant; I feel like I’d be fine in a studio. I desperately want to have 1-3 months in this place to live, to make up for the 10 free-hour-weeks I’ve endured since leaving Westmont and the Honda.
Perhaps this setup prepares me well for school, because ideally I’ll read, write, and socialize away from home and merely use it as a place to crash.
By the way, law school is now a certainty. I am beginning to build the mental committment by breathing in Chicago to remember a huge motivational spark from the past year, discussing issues with mentors, and picturing myself there.
Know where yet? Should within a month, two tops.

Good luck as your law school admissions come in and you make your final choice!
