Recent graduate. I work at MIT as an administrative assistant and make a decent, steady wage. I maintain a budget and always pay my bills on time.

I have two cats. Their names are Dorian and Lyra, and they’re very sweet.

I keep common areas clean, but bedrooms are each individual’s problem. If there is anything that needs to be done and is not on my radar for any reason, I’m very receptive to suggestions and requests. Overall, I think open lines of communication is the best way to keep a harmonious home!

I do think it’s very important that people who live together are comfortable with each other. We don’t have to be bestest friends, but I think it would be good to be friendly at the very least. I don’t want to have to try to avoid the person I’m living with because it’s awkward or weird to be around them, and I wouldn’t want that for someone else either. Conversely it’s just as important to respect each other’s space. I’m not much of a morning person and don’t like to talk before going to work, for instance.

All in all, I’m a reasonably quiet person just trying to afford rent in the greater Boston area. If you’re reading this, I’m sure you empathize!
