It is very true that sometimes you just have to make do with what you have. So, with little money and few options, you sometimes have to make do with situations that are less than desireable. I moved to Hollywood, CA on a wing and a prayer so I knew it would be rough starting out. But it's Hollywood. You'd think it's all glitz, glamor, sun, and palm trees...right? Wrong! I learned quickly that sometimes you have to settle for two out of the four.
I got the sun and the palm trees, but there was definitely no glitz or glamor at the Banana Bungalow.
But for twenty-two dollars a night, it was to be expected. They did have a free barbecue which made things a little better. The hostel caters to out of country travelers and out of state visitors that have proof of recent travel. Nonetheless, you do what you have to do.
Today I moved into my new place. It's not much, and I still have to share the space, but at least it's only one other person. Plus, the apartment complex only assigns other students as your roommate. Gone are the days of having my own condo...the dorm days are here again!
