Let's be honest - the glamorous life in London I was fantasizing about hasn’t really gotten off the ground yet. The reality looks more like this: I moved in to an apartment with fabulous aforementioned flat mates and then moved out because it was too expensive and the neighborhood sketched me out. Now I have a room mate (like actually a person I share a room with) which is some thing I didn’t
