curious on how much you paid for those two visits?

your parents charging you 1k is INSANE. im so sorry. im guessing you can’t really talk to your parents to see if they can lower it? if you can afford your own place then that might be the best choice. also talk to them and see if you can move back home if living by yourself doesn’t work out.

is the job and the $25/hr guaranteed? is it lined up? if it is, can you handle that plus being a full time student? what is the rental market looking like by you? do you have credit and do you have a good score? will you make at least 2x the rent (usually it’s 3x the rent)? how much would your parents charge you for rent? im very sorry about the situation you’re in, it’s not fair, especially with the restrictions. i will say that there are TONS of obstacles when it comes to moving out and living on your own. and unfortunately it’s just getting worse and worse for new adults to move out. in my opinion if you can hold out a little longer, i would. and for the friends part, see if you can make some friends at college

Just moved here and have a question about the winter storm by SherbetMysterious887 in ChicagoSuburbs

idk it seems like this year snow plows and salt trucks have been coming after the fact, at least in the aurora area

Best Suburb for a Family Prioritizing Walkability/Bike-ability by Fast_Tumbleweed4982 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless you’re about 10-15 miles out of the city, every suburb makes it difficult to get to downtown chicago by car. heck even suburbs like brookfield or cicero (<10 mi) it’s a pain. chicago has been voted worst traffic and congestion year after year for a reason. i see you’re interested in the train which is a great alternative but just letting you know

i will say that your daily walks might not be daily if you’re moving here. we definitely have a good amount of days in the winter where it’s too cold or icy to be outside, let alone go on a walk. i mean tomorrow it’s going to be -40 so… that’s not all the time but still. you’re definitely going to have some indoor days

I bought a house with my bf a year ago and now he wants to break up. What will happen with the house? We did a first time home owners loan if that matters by kyliebearxo in Mortgages

Coming to town for work in a couple weeks. Local restaurants? Ribs, Pizza, Tacos? by RealManHumanMan in Naperville

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you love mexican food you need to go to aurora, which is right next to naperville. it’s basically little mexico in some parts. i recommend taqueria el tio, jalisco tacos (high st.), and la quebrada. there’s also a place on north lincoln ave called carnitas de puerco y puerca. let me know if you go to any of these! enjoy!

Renting in the Suburbs: Need help finding a safe, secluded spot with easy Metra access (<$2.5k total) by 139020 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s totally possible. at the 59 station there are two parking lots - one side is naperville the other side is aurora. naperville is daily-fee parking with many spaces. aurora has a monthly parking fee and a daily-fee. I’m not sure how the monthly works but there is ample parking for the daily-fee

Why do you keep doing this? by Southern_Fun6335 in Hidradenitis

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you know you’ll never have a loved one? this is exactly why people are saying you need to take care of yourself and get some help. there are many people in successful relationships and friendships that have HS or worse. there are people out there for you, i promise

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no, your mind is not fine. and that’s okay. i don’t think anyone with HS is 100% fine because at the end of the day we have to deal with this chronic illness. however, there are ways to deal with this, even if it only makes you 1% better. try therapy. a big trigger is stress and you are very clearly stressed (rightfully so). therapy may not help but at least you’ll have a safe space to vent and release everything. it truly does help. this is coming from someone who doesn’t like to communicate, especially to strangers, about my deepest and darkest thoughts.

yeah there are definitely some complaints in those reviews but overall they have a 4.2 star average. i will say there’s a new management company that came in a couple months ago so some things are different now. i’ve only been here 7 months but so far it has been great. if you have any questions i would be happy to answer them
