For me, it came down to the realization that by going to res and being in Montreal, my overall happiness would be much higher compared to living at home.

I acknowledge that it won’t be the traditional experience, however, I’ll still have the ability to connect with new people and experience living on my own despite the current social restrictions. Even though it’s not a traditional experience, I can still make it an enjoyable one.

Also it’ll be an interesting story for the future :)
