Hey! I just got accepted into McMaster Nursing and I’m starting to look for off-campus housing for September :)

I’m hoping to find:

- female-only housing/roommates

- a quiet and clean place

- studious roommates

- something not super expensive

- reasonably close to McMaster/transit

I’m not really looking for a party house lol. I’d prefer a calmer environment where everyone respects studying/sleep schedules.

If anyone has recommendations for good areas, buildings, Facebook groups, student houses, or is looking for another roommate, please let me know! Thank you :)

My boyfriend and I are coming up on 1 year, but lately I’ve been feeling really frustrated and confused.

I feel like I’m always the one asking him to do things like if it’s picking me up from class, making plans, or just spending time together. If I don’t ask, it usually doesn’t happen. He also prioritizes his friends a lot, and when it comes to me there’s often an excuse or it turns into a last-minute thing.

The thing is, I have communicated this to him multiple times. From his perspective, he says he does make an effort and that he actually enjoys spending time with me more than with his friends. He admits he’s bad at planning ahead and tends to do things last minute, and he’s also not great at texting, which doesn’t help.

What’s confusing me is that when he recently went on a trip and we were kind of forced into distance, I actually felt more calm and less irritated. But now that he’s back, I feel more annoyed again, like all the issues are just back in my face.

We’re also going to be long distance next year, which makes me even more worried because if things already feel like this now, I don’t know how it’ll work then.

I don’t know if I’m expecting too much or if I’m ignoring a real problem. Has anyone been in a situation like this?

Does anyone have advice on how I can approach this situation?
