I’m sharing the space with three friends, and I am excited for my first taste of adulthood. The stories that I share on this page reflect the adventures and challenges of this new chapter in my life.

About me
I’m Maya Rose, a 20-year-old university student currently starting the most exciting (and slightly terrifying) chapter of my life. After years of living at home, I’ve moved from the comfort of my childhood bedroom and homemade dinners to a shared apartment with three roommates and a room full of textbooks and study materials. One thing that I realized once I moved into my new apartment is that being friends and roommates are sometimes very different, which is what inspired me to share my experiences here.
Lesson of the Month
This month, I’ve learned that the key to surviving the chaos of student life and managing my relationships is learning the importance of attentive and supportive recognition of another person’s needs and interests. It all comes down to making the other person feel valued, protected, and understood. This is so important when it comes to having meaningful and deep relationships.
