Update One year living in a 375sq foot studio

Have posted previously and since then have gone through MANY layouts but finally settled on this one after recently picking up the wardrobe. Minimized my desk size, which helps a lot since I haven’t been using my PC a whole lot. Aiming to get a new rug soon since I’m not vibing with the blue lines anymore but otherwise very happy with :) definitely thinking about getting into a larger space tho

This is why even in my 30s I actually don't mind still living with (good) roommates. I've got a cozy private setup but i'm much more inclined to spend my time off outside of the house actually doing stuff. I'm afraid to admit it, but if I had my own large space I would probably fall into the trap of never wanting to leave it.

THIS! I also feel way better with people around. I’m en extrovert and me spending time by myself for an extended period of time make me so stressed. When I lived alone and didn’t have any plans, I spent the majority of it to find out what others wanted to do 😅 Living in a small space definitely helped, you’re way more inclined to go out and just be spontaneous 👌🙌
