New Living Situation

Hello all. A new semester of college began for Mason and I last month, and with it came some changes. For the last 2 years, we lived on campus. It was convenient because everything we needed was in walking distanse, I could easily attend activities on campus or meet for class related stuff outside of the scheduled class time, and it made it much easier to get connected my freshmen year. However, with a new year came a new rise in rent. Unfortunately, my income did not rise with the rent so I had to decide what was more important, having everything a few steps away or having a bank account I could actually survive off of. This was especially easy to decide since Mason and I never spent weekends there, and would probably spend less time there since I would be in class fewer days this semester. Since my mom lives close to campus, and there are several KSU students in her neighborhood I could get rides from, I decided that it would be best to move back there. After all, we were there half the week anyway. lol
Mason loves this new arrangement because he gets a fensed yard and a constant playmate through my mom's maltese. As for work, he still gets plenty of that since we still spend a lot of time on campus. So, this is definitely going to be a new experiense for us, and so far, things are working out.
