So, last week I declared my plans to break up with my tendency to live like an 87-year-old woman with my decaf tea and rigid sleep schedule.

The first step to my new lifestyle has been unshackling myself from my childhood bedroom. Yes, in my last semester of college, I have finally managed to acquire student accommodation.
