i’m not exactly sure how normal people find apartments in new york city,but i found mine via email
![Page 3: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
i looked at the pictures
talked to the roommates
and after a careful consideration period
of 5 whole minutes
i said, “i’ll take it.”

i was happy. i had a room i could call my own in an apartment in new york city.
![Page 5: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
so i packed my bags
waved goodbye to my family
and hopped on a bus
(because everyone was too afraid to drive me into the city of crazy cab drivers)
![Page 6: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
when i arrived at my building
my new roommate helped me carry my bags
up
six
flights
of
stairs
six.
![Page 7: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
after she opened the door to our apartment,i realized my lofted room had its own set of stairs
seven.
(to calm my wheezing, i tried to imagine my future toned thighs)

after making it to the top of everest, i collapsed on my new bed
my new big, comfy bed
![Page 9: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
upon regaining the strength to move, i propped myself up to survey my surroundings
my room was adorable, it had:two big skylights
plenty of floor space
dresser
desk
comfy reading chair
and a door leading out to a large roof deck

but when i got up off my bed, i noticed something funny
i couldn’t stand up.
![Page 11: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
my room, despite its adorableness had a five foot ceiling
![Page 12: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
i am 5’5”
![Page 13: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
inches
separate my adorable room
from
perfection
![Page 14: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
but my room was so cute
that i couldn’t end our relationship
because of one little flaw
![Page 15: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
so i slowly learned how to live small
![Page 16: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
at first i felt a lot like quasimodo.

but now i’m more like catherine zeta jones in entrapment
![Page 18: The story of my room](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051211/554cd304b4c905cc488b48ed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
of course every now and again, my room decides to hit me upside the head
and i yell back hurtful things
(it’s never my fault, of course)
****
