ELI5: Formants and Formant Tuning

I feel like I'm constantly a few steps behind my peers in my graduate cohort, because I still don't quite understand these terms and what they mean despite someone trying to explain it to me a few times. It feels like it just doesn't want to stick, it's just in one ear and out the other. Even more baffling is some people tell me they exist, some people tell me they don't, and I feel like my brain is a pretzel trying to grasp it.

Roommate took too long to tell she was moving out, now we have less than a month to find a new one.

So, I live in a 4 bedroom and one of my roommates putzed around for a long time deciding if she was moving out after our lease was up or not. We couldn't post a listing at all or seek out someone we would all feel comfortable living with until now. A lot of people can't accept a "maybe" when looking for potential apartments, so any leads we might have had have dried up completely. We now have less than a month before the new lease starts... I'm constantly anxious to the point of nausea.
