from Manhattan to Jersey

What a trade-off. To show you what I mean, here’s the pros & cons:

Pros:

• cheap rent
• no roaches, rats, or bedbugs
• fresh air? yeah right…

Cons:

• LONG commute
• EXPENSIVE commute
• need a car to get around –> traffic
• no social life
• no good restaurants, nightlife, stores

But put all the cons together and it’s big. I don’t dance anymore. I don’t go out anymore. No friends stop by. I have to drive everywhere & anywhere. My daily commute to the city takes up to 4 hours of my time…and I’m technically only 20 miles or 1/2 hour from the city!
I really don’t like it but I’m slowly getting used to it. I still work in the city so at least I get that, but…it’s not the same. I’m just not the strip-mall-highway-driving type of girl. Oh well.
