How to Make a Home Out of a Square Space
The white walls surrounding you reek of the sterile, square space you plan on calling home for the next three months. Because you’ll only be here for a few days at first, quickly claim your territory. Mark it with your collection of books. Nothing makes you feel quite as home as being surrounded by miles upon miles of paper.
Next, make your bed for the first and probably only time of the summer. It’s okay. Beds weren’t created to be made. Position it in such a way that you fall asleep to the bright city lights flickering as the garbage collector hums by in the dark of the night. The last sight you see is the most beautiful building New York City has to offer.
Then, invite over the musical genius for your first guitar lesson for the summer. You’re a bit rusty but he’s nothing except complimentary. Half of “Here Comes the Sun” under your belt, you part ways until the following Wednesday. Better practice.
Last but not least, add some life. It’ll die inside of a week because you’re terrible at dealing with all matters of life but it’s not for a lack of effort… at least not in the plant sense of it. Read up about plants for the future. A sufficient amount of greenery is imperative to living in concrete jungles.
