It’s hard to find an apartment to rent in London. Especially if you’re a student.
I was lucky to have friends who had set me up with a place that was within my budget.
It was a small one bedroom apartment, and it had barely enough space to store everything I needed for my studies.
I’m a graphics design student, who was currently balancing a masters degree as well as side modules as a photographer and also currently working as an all-round gopher at a Design firm.
Then there’s the weekend freelance work digitally touching up photos.
Why was I doing all this?
Networking, for my career, all sorts of reasons really. The big bad world now has evolved and if I wanted to make it in my industry, I needed the foresight to know what skills I needed. That made me busy as fuck. But it will pay off… I hoped.
The downside of living in a cramped apartment was that I had very little space to store all my equipment. Luckily Mom and Dad lived a couple of hours away in Reading. I barely had time to see them lately but I try to whenever I can.
