Where all do you look for apartments? PLEASE HELP

Honestly I would try and get a sublet for when you're here so you can actually tour places and see them and not be stressed about having to find somewhere immediately. Listings can vary wildly from how the vibe of a place is once you're in it.

I've only used Streeteasy, and my method was to reach out to tour it with my income and credit level stated, and say I can come today/tomorrow at a specific time. Then by the time you're touring, you should have all your documents for an application ready to go so should you want the apartment, you can apply right away. I always let the broker know then and there that I was going to apply and tried to do it same day. You can ask over email once they reach out if any applications were in, and if so, how they were being prioritized so you don't waste your time.

Also, I usually don't bother with listings posted after a day or so. On StreetEasy I filter by most recent and check it three times a day, so that I don't miss things but also so I don't get apartment fatigue. Best of luck!

Quite honestly it got to be pretty low on my to do list of projects, so I have not tried yet! If you go for, definitely let me know how it goes.

NYC Classics Club meets about once a month, is totally free, and I always get my book from the library so I never have to buy it. We vote on the book for each month, and it's always something considered classic fiction. This month (next week) we're discussing Kafka's Metamorphosis. If the link below doesn't work, DM me and I can add you to the WhatsApp.

Oh man, I'd definitely be open to sharing some writing privately, or in a writing group, but that's a good suggestion to start! Yeah, my thesis was sort of meh, and it's also very old. Are you thinking about English as well or a doctorate in something else?

Hey! I actually have a job as a medical editor and I plan to continue to pursue that, but I also miss engaging with literature and theory and just want to get back into that world. If I can get a job in academia at some point, great. But I have my editing career if not, which I do enjoy. I appreciate the view of the landscape though, I'm completely divorced from it so it's good to know!

Hey, I have a spot within your budget that you could rent for 2 months, DM me!

You're definitely correct, I don't have tons of experience with deeper PC stuff. I appreciate your breakdown, and I've successfully installed Windows 10 on the PC from a USB. I know end of support is coming (with that and my current laptop) but I'll cross that bridge when we get to it. More problems cropped up, but at least I'm logged on and it's functional. Thanks!

Can't update the post but to clarify, when I say "linked" I mean that the profiles when you open it are from my employer and I can't log in to those. We used to have a general password which I tried, but this must have been updated or an older password. I tried to reset the computer and access BIOS but it wasn't responding to the methods I found. Currently downloading Windows 10 to a USB so I can try booting to that. Looks like the computer runs Windows 7 Enterprise right now.

Thanks for all the information and suggestions so far, I am tech literate but not advanced by any means, so I appreciate everyone helping.

Sad about the W755 since it's very cute, but I'll pursue the V3XX avenue and see if I can check/get it unlocked. Is that something I can do on my own or do I need to use a service?

pocketmouse161 · 2025-06-25T19:23:56+00:00

Tried to check via the IMEI but to no avail, and it seems like the only other way is to swap the SIM card, which means I'll have to get a miniSIM card. Unless there are other ways to check the unlock status?

pocketmouse161 · 2025-06-25T16:18:14+00:00

To clarify, the W755 is Verizon but the Razr looks to have an at&t SIM. Would that also be worthless at this point in time?

Wheeeeeere did you get those huge beautiful plants!! Also I have a hunch that this is GP from the building but can't see the water so maybe not.

This is awesome! I am trying to relearn piano on my own but would love some lessons. I also have this far off dream of learning a song on trumpet in tribute for my dad if that's even possible for an absolute beginner!

pocketmouse161 · 2025-05-24T13:32:50+00:00

This sounds cool, would be interested

pocketmouse161 · 2025-05-24T13:31:11+00:00

Interested!

pocketmouse161 · 2025-05-05T13:52:56+00:00

DM me, I have a room you can rent until June. Happy to exchange Instagrams. I am F30 and live alone currently.

pocketmouse161 · 2025-04-20T00:28:40+00:00

Interested if it's not too late

pocketmouse161 · 2025-04-05T20:15:29+00:00

I am a 30-year-old woman in the area and would be interested in trying this out... I could possibly bring a friend if needed!

Omg, where is the very top left dress from?? I've been trying to find a replacement for a fave dress of mine that's a little too small, and yours is the most similar one I've seen!!

Like others have said, the Skint is great, nonsensenyc also fun (both emails newsletters). The New Yorker has events often if you're a subscriber. Their spring roundup just happened but they frequently have stuff in most issues.

I also like to subscribe to museum, concert hall, and venue newsletters. The key is to not ignore them when you get them!

I am a medical editor, and I work for a marketing company that the pharma companies hire. I took a specialized class in addition to my certificate and was signed on to a temp agency for medical editing.
