I lived in Boston for two years and moved three times! Ugh. Not fun, especially in the winter. Definitely expand your search from the city if possible and check out Somerville, Southie, and maybe even Charlestown or Waltham for more options. I always found my places on Craigslist, though oftentimes the specific rentals were taken but the company/agent showing had other availabilities, so I saw those instead and a couple worked out that way.

When I was in elementary school, I used to collect license plate numbers from out-of-state plates in a little notebook I carried with me... haha. If we saw one from someplace especially "rare" I would beg my parents to drive back so I could get it! What a weirdo :) What's the Weirdest Thing You Collect? |

If you're allowed, painting a new place (or an otherwise crappy/disappointing place) can not only make it feel much more home-y, but can spruce up a lot of cosmetic blemishes. Every place I've rented let me paint as long as I painted it back to white before I moved out and had them OK the colors first. Lessons Learned from Your First Apartment |

I recently came home to a newly moved-into apt full of packed boxes, no groceries, and dissembled Ikea furniture. But after 2 weeks in rural Philippines, I couldn't be happier!! The key, I think, is to go somewhere awful and then you won't be sad about not having ironed sheets! Avoiding the Post Vacation Blues |

Strawberry-rhubarb pie is SOOO good! Also, when I was a kid we would break off a ripe stalk, take the first tart bite, and then dip in in a small Dixie cup of sugar :) Delish! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Seasonal Spotlight: Rhubarb |
