I’m so glad my boyfriend and I are living separately. Post-graduation life is an insane transition. Suddenly having an adult paycheck and bank account, commuting, maintaining a real apartment, getting used to a full time job, being away from my parents a permanent way, making friends and connections in an enormous city… I don’t know how it would’ve worked if I had also combined the newness of splitting finances with my boyfriend, living together, getting used to each other’s morning/night routines, seeing each other all day every day… it would’ve been a LOT at once to deal with. Also, as much as I love spending time with him, I really like living with roommates right now. We potentially have the rest of our life to live together; it’s kind of nice having this period of independence for now.
