A couple weeks ago my roommate, my two other friends and I signed our lease for a house next year. The whole process was really long and annoying because the guy who were leasing from had three houses that we looked at but his grandson got first choice. He took a while to decide which one he wanted, and when he finally chose, of course he took the one that we wanted. The other two houses were still really nice so we weren't too worried about it. Then for our second choice, one of the guys that was living there this year wanted to renew his lease but he needed to find more people by a certain date or we got the house. Thankfully he didn't find enough people and we got it. Now that our lease is signed I don't want to live in the dorms anymore, I'm so excited to live in my own house with my friends.
