Moving (Part I)

Five of my friends from high school, all a year ahead of me in school, went to the same college, Colorado State University, and thus decided to live together their sophomore year (as all freshmen must live in a dorm hall). Unfortunately, Fort Collins, which is the lovely small town that houses CSU, has a little law called "3 Unrelated" or "U+2," which states that no more than three unrelated people may live together in any dwelling within Fort Collins city limits. Obviously, five people is more than three. Consequently, they would either have separate into smaller groups (and pay more rent) or live outside of Fort Collins. Located just to the south of Fort Collins at about a twenty minute drive is Loveland. Loveland has no such 3 Unrelated law, so they began their search here. Once couple would share a bedroom, my boyfriend had his own room, and the other two shared a room because one of them was unsure as to whether he would remain at the aforementioned institution. Next thing you know, the significant others of the two latter mentioned people move in, and there are four people in one bedroom and five people to one bathroom. Shortly after, I move into my dorm (also at Colorado State), and spend much time with all my friends, mainly with Boyfriend, and as such that half of the apartment became very much the definition of overpopulated.

Needless to say, we all started getting on each others' nerves, and around the same time, almost to the day, most of us announced that we would be searching out our own places to live. However, the lease is not up on this apartment until August, so while we're all moving out, it's just me and Boyfriend in this giant. Boyfriend and I are pleased to finally be moving into our own place, within Fort Collins. It will be a two bed/one bath, so there's plenty of room for all of our crap. We're moving next Tuesday!
