I just found out today that I might have to move out of my apartment in two and a half months. I hate moving! It’s the pits and I just hate it. A lot. I’ve moved seven times in as many years, and the thought of packing all my stuff in boxes, schlepping it up and down stairs, getting people together to help me, driving a moving van (I crashed the last one I rented), going to IKEA to get new stuff for the new place, and all the logistics of changing addresses, moving magazine subscriptions, cable, internet, phones, and so on for the eight time just drives me nuts. And I haven’t even mentioned the hassle of actually finding a new place to live. That’s the reason I’ve moved so many times in the first place. This is the third time my lease has been terminated and because I wasn’t able to find a new place the two first times, I’ve had to move in somewhere temporarily until I could find a place I could afford, which wasn’t located in the middle of nowhere. So in conclusion: Moving is a major bummer!

Okay, with that out of the way I actually have a major decision to make now. Should I stay here in beautiful Aarhus or should I move to wonderful Copenhagen? I’ve said for the last couple of years that I’d move to Copenhagen, when I finished with University, because I figured chances of finding a job in the media industry would be better there. But I won’t have finished my master thesis by July, so if I move there I’d still be a student (in other words: I'll still be broke) and I’m not sure that moving to Copenhagen would necessarily make it easier for me to finish my thesis. The main reason I wanted to leave this city wasn’t really so much jobs or access to concerts, art, movies, or cooler shops as the fact that some of my best friends live there now. The people I travel with, go to the Roskilde Festival with, go to concerts with, and generally just talk to the most live in Copenhagen, and it bugs me that I can’t visit them, whenever I feel like it.
But on the other hand my family lives here and especially my brother, who I see several times a week. We hang out all the time, and I’ll miss that a lot if I move. I still have a couple of good friends here, who, ironically, I don’t see as mush as I’d like even though we live in the same city. Oddly enough one of the things that I dislike the most about this city is probably also one of the things I’ll miss the most. I’m talking about the fact that because this is actually a fairly small place (there are 286.000 people in the entire county) we miss out on a lot of things. But at the same time you always seem to run into your friends, whenever you go out, which is cool.

So I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ll definitely look into finding a place in Copenhagen, but chances are I’ll stay here for awhile until I’m ready to start looking for a job. So if you have access to an apartment in Copenhagen or Aarhus feel free to drop me a line.
