Need help adding a temporary divider in living room, Slanted ceiling, $100 to 150 budget

Hi everyone,

I’m a college student living in one of the most expensive areas in the US. To save on rent, 5 of us are in a 2b2b apartment which is the legal limit.

Unfortunately I got stuck with the living room spot. The kitchen and front door open right into the living area so I have basically zero privacy.

I want to add a temporary divider/partition for $100-$150. The problem: I can’t use a ceiling curtain rod because the ceiling is slanted.

Has anyone done a renter-friendly divider in a similar setup? What worked for you to create some privacy without damaging walls/ceiling?

Thanks so much!

Need a friend to walk around Stamford

Hi everyone!

​

I'm currently in Stamford for an internship. I'm new to the area and would love to explore Stamford and nearby places, try some good food, walk around, and check out local spots.

​

I'm friendly, easygoing, and just looking for people who might also be interested in exploring the area, trying restaurants, or taking a walk around town.

​

If you're around Stamford this summer and would like a walking/exploring buddy, feel free to send me a message!

​

Also, if you have recommendations for places to visit or good food spots in Stamford, I'd love to hear them.

​

Thanks!

​

Quarter life crisis Rant.

Quarter life crisis Rant.

I am 25, I'm pursuing a masters degree in the US. I have an exam tomorrow and I have no motivation to study what so ever. I have no idea what's going on. I feel demotivated to do the basic things. I feel lonely and have no one to talk to, no bf or any close friends. I really feel jealous of the people who are in relationships, and the fact that I'm single. I read things like you want a partner when you have something missing in yourself. Or some shit like that. How do I get over this loneliness feel and where do I find motivation to study. Actually I study alot, but sometimes I don't. No matter what I do, I don't feel I'm enough. There is not a single aspect of my life where I feel satisfied. What's wrong with me.

I'm going to be 26 soon, I don't feel 26 and feel like things are moving so fast. I don't know what is going on.

Not even sure if I'm looking for advice or just want to rant.

Feel free to give any genuine advice.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I want to book a domestic flight in the US. I want the option to add extra luggage. I'm planning to book through Expedia, but I'm not able to add extra luggage, any suggestions? Do I have to add through the airline website only? Also, I want to take 2 checkin bags, is the price same for both the bags. I've heard if they overbook, they first kick out the people who are booked through these websites. I'm a student, and here are my three concerns: I need cheapest tickets, I need to make sure I get on the flight, as I am starting my internship the next day( I have to start next day as I could not find any accommodation to keep some buffer), and I've never booked any flight tickets here, so I want to make sure I do things correctly. Please help me.

Thanks.
