Dealing with neighborhood life was the hardest section about going to undergraduate college for me.
- I was raised in a rural suburb and wasn’t used to tied up subways and flooded neighborhood streets.
Going out at night was frightening if you didn’t know which parts of neighborhood to avoid. I almost got mugged 1 night while I was stumbling back to our home after a few hours of heavy drinking at a bar. If our big friend hadn’t seen our pursuer before I had, I entirely would have been robbed at knife point. With these experiences happening fairly properly, I started to dream about moving out to the countryside and getting away from this urban insanity. Unluckyly, I had to save for two years straight before I could afford to rent a home in a rural community about an hour out of the city. There are no vacancies at the few home complexes so our only possibilities were two study room houses of varying amounts. Although I love being away from the city, I’m starting to feel the pain of having fewer corporations to choose from being away from a densely populated area. For instance, finding quality plumbing services near me is hard when there are only several corporations that will agree to drive to our house. Two of these plumbing services have bad reviews, especially the 1 that I dealt with once already. They tried to sell me on a pipe cleaning service even after I told them to send a snake-camera down the pipes to prove it to me. When I noticed that the inside surfaces of our PVC pipes appeared to look disinfect in about 98% of the house, I told this sketchy plumber to hit the road. That leaves me with only 1 option for plumbing services if I don’t want to get ripped off from the jump.
