Moving to a new city in the middle of quarantine is less than ideal especially when your boyfriend of almost six years decides he thinks he knows better than you and breaks up with you. My new job provided me with a moving bonus which was amaaazing, but it still wasn’t enough to support a one bedroom or even a studio in my new city.
I think secretly I also wanted a roommate because even though things started opening up I wasn’t sure how long that would last and the last thing I wanted to do was go from a city where I had endless amount of college and high school friends to basically nobody.
I met Kristin through a Facebook page that was basically a matchmaking group for friends looking for roommates. Her roommate moved out during the pandemic and was looking for a new roommate and a friend. Kristen seemed normal and based on her likes and photos we had similar tastes and ran into similar circles. She looked and acted sweet and after a few FaceTimes to make sure she wasn’t a serial killer we decided to move in together.
