The summer was a much better time for me, from what I can remember of it.
I was back to my old self again. I was happy, and loving life, and loved the new people who moved into the house. There was only four of us that lived their over the summer, all girls. So of course, there was a bit of drama, but it didn't revolve around me, thank god!
My house became the spot to be for my friends that I made in school. And I found myself partying into the morning with them and again, not attending most of my classes. Since I had made friends with people in my program, I was able to still stay on top of my homework and assignments, and started to actually enjoy studying with them.
The only issue I had over the summer was at the end of it with my landlord. When we all signed our lease we were asked to give them a cleaning deposit, that we were suppose to get back at the end of our year lease if their was no damage to the house and it wasn't extremely dirty. Well, there was no damage to the house and since there were only four people living in it, we kept it very clean and tidy. Yet, they refused to return our money to us. We got on the phone with the landlord and tenant board, who informed us that the landlord should not have even asked for a cleaning deposit, they were not allowed. After we informed the landlord of this, they started looking for problems.
They started bringing up things like: you had pets in the house, it is in the lease that you are not allowed to have pets. Again, we called the landlord and tenant board who informed up that a landlord is NOT allowed to tell their tenants that they cannot have pets, whether they sign a lease that states it is a no pet house or not. It got to the point that we all just wanted to get out of the house and not deal with it anymore. We all wanted to end our summer on a good note, and did not want to deal with any unneccessary drama. It really wasn't worth the stress over a couple hundred dollars.
So, after all the ups and downs I had, all the good and bad memories I made, I moved out of the house and started my final year of college with a friend I had lived with in residents and two friends I had known since kindergarten. I was excited to start this new chapter in my life and prayed that I had left all the drama at my last house, but of course, there is always drama when four girls live together...
