Since I will only be living up there if I get a job, I'm not sure of how much I can afford. I'm hoping that if I have to go in alone itd be no more than 700, and hopefully close enough to my job that I could just walk. However one of my friends just told me that her lease is 6 months so I have no clue if that was a hint saying that she is interested in living with me?

Are you sure she was young and not just a small flyer?

.....yes.
At the time there was an all star competition that took place the Saturday after NCA either at the same venue or nearby. Children were everywhere and that child with her mom was clearly a child

Sounds like a hint to me!
Just a heads up, utilities and other expenses add up, things that you have to buy when you rent instead of when you're in a dorm or a shared area. You're apartment might include heat,gas and electric, but chances are you'll have to pay at least 1 or 2. My roommate and I have to pay gas and electric and it's about 50$ per person/month. Cable and wifi is 130 total/month. You'll also need to remember that you'll be buying cleaning supplies, paper products, toiletries etc which I found add up quicker than I was expecting. I don't want to freak you out! Just making sure you're prepared. :)
Some landlords are willing to negotiate their price. If you see a place that is 720$ per month that you love, you can let the landlord know that you would move in but the price is too high and that you'll think about it. They might drop it for you!

She said a little bit later that she's ok with having a roommate so it sounds like we are. Where I live now we had to buy all of our cleaning supplies, paper things, and toiletries so I don't see the price of that changing much. I also already have all of my bedroom furniture and she has living room furniture/kitchen table so it doesn't sound like I'd have to buy too much in terms of furniture.

After years of having to search for apartments, there are a few things I learned. Not sure if they will help but: A.) Location matters. Make sure you rent near to what you need. Look for public transportation, grocery stores, and convenience items.( i.e. Laundry) You can also check online, or call the local PD for crime statistics in a neighborhood. B.) don't rent out of your price range, it really sucks to have to scramble for rent every month. C.) make sure you ask what is included in rent, the landlord usually can also tell you about how much other things cost as well. Electricity, cable/internet/water/garbage etc. D.) look for storage in the apartment, does it have a pantry, linen closet, enough cupboard space. Will you have to pay for outside storage or garage if you need it? E.) check to make sure there are enough outlets... Some older places don't have enough plugs for modern day life, and an overload can be expensive or dangerous.
When at all possible, I would usually drive by my prospective apartment at several different times, to see what it was like at night time and morning in particular. I wanted to see it was loud around then.
Also, if you are going to use public transportation, make sure it is on a line that runs at the times you need.
If you are going to need a co-signer have the info you need ready, because sometimes it helps to be able to apply immediately.
And make sure you are very detailed in your initial walk through once you do get a place!

It depends on your skill set. If you don't have level 3 tumbling, that is harder. If you have trouble with higher level stunting 4.2 is harder.
Since appears as though 4.2 is going away, it is a moot point.

so i need advice. Im starting to prepare the little things for my trip to europe for my honeymoon, and im looking into travel backpacks. I have no expertise in this area, i want something thats durable and not cheaply made, but i dont want to break the bank, so im looking to spend under $80. We wont be necessarily backpacking through europe 24/7, but we are traveling to three different countries, and lots of train rides. I just want something that will hold all the essentials safely, cause i dont like the purse idea, considering how many people tend to get mugged, from what i always hear.
Anyone have any good opinions on backpacks for these kinds of things.

I have never been but is the atmosphere that bad where a younger kid shouldn't be there with supervision?

Saturday is a huge party. Stunt fest/drinking/etc. Most teams don't leave until Sunday and the competition is over so it's a huge party on the beach.

Ahhhh. I guess it is up to each parent on how they want to do it. Maybe 8-10 is s bit young but I may have taken cp if early teens. I don't know.
