Don’t judge me because I live in The Colony

I doubt there are many of you who don’t know where The Colony at Kenilworth is, but let me say that you are not missing out on anything! My mom was completely revolted when she saw my new living quarters as of last September. Her direct quote was “I hate this place, it’s ghetto!”

The whole reason I moved there was because it is a cheap affordable place for college students. But once my closet doors started falling off, the cabinet doors wouldn’t close, the baseboards had holes in them, the ceiling fans didn’t work and we greeted our collection of mice friends, i realized that this place is embarrassing!

Just a pic of recent events…

Yes that is in fact our drain pipe lying on the street. It has been there for over a week. I hope I won’t be living in the colony for the rest of my life or I will be very sad.

Did you know that according to the Center for American Progress over half of the 37 million Americans living in poverty are women! Women are poorer than men in all racial ethnic groups.

We also have a over 20% chance of being poor between the ages of 18-24 and a 15% chance before we’re 30! I know don’t want to live with mom and dad for the rest of my life and I don’t want to live in the slums either!

  1. do you feel like people judge you for living there? would you feel uncomfortable bringing a guy you liked there–are you afraid he would think you were ghetto(as your mom put it)?

    Thanks for throwing me under the bus! I guess this means I can talk about you in MY blog! Just think we could start the next blog wars.

  3. I stumbled upon this site from searching on Bing and just wanted to say thanks for this interesting entry on dieting taking xocoslim. Thank you again!
