Apartment Choice

What it's like to be young, married, in college, and looking for your first apartment "); } Katie Edwards/Getty Images I gave myself ten months to prepare for my first apartment search, but when it was finally time to hunt, I still found plenty of room for panic. I’m a young married woman , but my husband and I were in no rush to get our own place since we are barely at home. I’m married to a guy who does over-the-road (interstate) trucking for a living, so I see him maybe four days out of the month, maximum. I lived in a room close to my college; it wasn’t too glamorous, but we were able to save money and pay off our credit cards crazy fast . The benefits of living below our means outweighed any of the cons, but by the time summer came rolling around, I was so ready to have my own space. Not only was it crowded, but my neighbors were loud and constantly fighting with each other. Eventually, I was waking up every day at 3 a.m. to loud music blasting — it was driving me insa...

Editor’s note: The following has been excerpted from a longer chapter featuring the Arroyo family : Maria Ayala Arroyo (46), Pedro Ayala Hernandez (55) and Guadalupe Ayala Arroyo (21). Read more oral histories like it in Chasing the Harvest by Gabriel Thompson (2017 Verso Press). Read our interview with Thompson here. Farmwork is often a family affair. Parents bring their children to labor alongside them in the fields. Workers learn about a job opening and tell their relatives, the word spreading quickly from uncle to aunt to cousin. If a crew sticks together long enough, it may find that most members are related to each other in one way or another. Such is the case for the crew of the Arroyo- Hernandez family . Maria and Pedro came to the United States in 1994, 10 days after getting married in Mexico. Their plan was to stay for a couple of years, save money, and return to Mexico to open a business. Then they had their first child, Guadalupe, and those plans changed. For more tha...

Here's what I don't get about relationships: No matter how high your self-confidence gets, you still end up compromising for people who just aren't that good for you. I don't know whether it is a trick of biology or pheromones, or whether sex impairs your judgment. Maybe it's because the frustration of a long dry spell can make you question whether you are setting your standards too high. That's why it's so important to pay attention to the warning signs in a new relationship. Some of these  relationship warning signs  might appear early, but they aren't going to go away. In fact, as time goes on, they're only going to increase in volume until their alarm becomes impossible to ignore. That's why, whether it's your first date or your 15th, you need to listen to your gut. Remember that you are always better off alone than in a relationship that isn't good for you. Because no matter how much someone might claim to like you, there's just...

THE CHIMNEY-CORNER FOR 1866. VIII. HOW SHALL WE ENTERTAIN OUR COMPANY? “T he fact is," said Marianne, "we must have a party. Bob don't like to hear of it, but it must come. We are in debt to everybody: we have been invited everywhere, and never had anything like a party since we were married, and it won't do." "For my part, I hate parties," said Bob. "They put your house all out of order, give all the women a sick-headache, and all the men an indigestion; you never see anybody to any purpose; the girls look bewitched, and the women answer you at cross-purposes, and call you by the name of your next-door neighbor, in their agitation of mind. We stay out beyond our usual bedtime, come home and find some baby crying, or child who has been sitting up till nobody knows when; and the next morning, when I must be at my office by eight, and wife must attend to her children, we are sleepy and headachy. I protest against making overtures to entrap some hund...
