From Good to Bad then New Surroundings...again

Third semester of second year brought many drunken and stressful nights. The comfort level in my house had completely diminished and I spent most of the summer at my friend's houses or just living in my room. The only thing I did at my house was make food the odd time and sleep.

When things were good in the house I had already signed a lease for the next year to stay in the same house. Things just slowly kept getting worse and worse it got to the point that the two friends that I was living with were no longer friends. We never talked, we literally passed and just nodded on the way by.

I tried to get out of the lease that was for the coming September but this was like 4 tasks within itself. I talked to my roommate and my landlord letting them know that I was no longer comfortable living in the house and to save our friendship I needed to get out of the house. I had a place to move to but to get out of the lease was the issue.

The more I looked into it the more I realized how much some people 'screw' you over, with a lack of a better word, by placing family members in the house. I found while trying to get out of the lease that I had virtually no rights as a 'tenant' living there and better yet I was more so a boarder which allowed for me to get no help. I called the landlord and tenants board which returned no results.

I did everything in my power to get out of this lease and after fighting to get answers of what my rights were the family I was renting from finally gave in and accepted someone I suggested to take over my lease for that year. I went through 4 or 5 people and almost got charged for the ad that was posted for the room that I was supposed to be filling. It was the worst few months of my life dealing with the discomfort I felt in the house and trying to fill the room with the pickiest people showing the room.

The day I escaped the lease it took me 2 weeks at the maximum to finish my semester and move out. I kept my room locked until I left and I moved all of my stuff out and into my 3rd house in Barrie in 3 years. I was tired of moving but after the discomfort i endured while living in this house there was no way I could handle that for any longer...so onto another house with more friends I went.

I ended my 3 years of college living with 3 friends. Two of the 3 were friends from home that were from Kindergarten and the other one was a girl I had met through them that it was friendship at first sight. The four of us together, we knew it was going to be a year to remember!
