Personal Narrative-A Tiny House, Big Problem

Tiny house, Big problem
Let’s just start out by saying, a tiny house is not my cup of tea, even though it’s almost as big as one. I need a space where I can move around, I hate being cramped up. So obviously choosing a tiny house was a big conflict. I recently have been accepted to Harvard and need a cheap, small, and portable place to live so I can haul it home with me on weekends. I definitely need plenty of storage for all of my things. I also need stairs to the loft so my dog can get up and down safely. The stairs can’t be too steep, but I could compromise for a big downstairs. I am traveling to Denver, Colorado, to look at my first tiny house.
I have decided to bring my dog with me, she’s a major part of my decision, if she can’t move around and she isn’t comfortable, neither am I. The first house is a bigger tiny house, I’m hoping that it isn’t too big I can’t tow. From the outside, the house is a beautiful deep blue with red trim, and it has a nice cottage look. This house has plenty of storage hidden everywhere, the stairs are a little steep, but hold

It would be just big enough for my dog and I, but there wouldn’t be enough room for guest. I would be able to tow it myself, but it might not be worth it. For it being small it does use space well, there is lots of hidden compartment throughout the house. There’s no stairs, it just has a ladder which is against what I want. My dog would not be able to roam around and would be stuck downstairs. It is within my price range, but I just can’t see myself living there. It’s almost nonfunctional, the toilet- shower combo is awful. I couldn’t have guests over because its a whopping 64 sq. ft. The loft has plenty of storage compartments, but there’s not enough room for my queen size bed. The kitchen is really small, everything in the kitchen is toy size, and would be hard to move around in. It’s a good use of space, just not for

    In most cases, the negatives outweigh the positives in the case of living in a tiny home. This unrealistic concept of cramming people into a tiny house and expecting it to be a positive outcome is disproved in several examples throughout Anderssen’s article. At one point, Anderssen brings up the example of a couple who had a movie about their tiny living, only to move out of the small house shortly after its completion: “Remember that couple featured in the documentary Tiny, which depicted their tiny home’s construction and extolled the minimalist lifestyle? They parked the end result in a field in Colorado and never lived in it together full-time. (In a blog, they explained that they left this out of the movie “so as not to spoil the experience of seeing that story unfold on screen.”)”…

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    The flicker of a lamp powered by a dimly lit lightbulb flashed in intervals onto the cracked concrete path. Scattered shrub shavings, dried pine needles, and petrified insects encrusted the crevices left in between the cement squares. The long and narrow path led up to a strong yet aged wooden door that stood at the foot of the house. The house held nine people, three cats, and many tribulations to come. At first glance the house might’ve seemed ordinary; it had five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, living room, kitchen etc.…

    Throughout my life, I have been the victim of several burglaries. At the age of seven, someone, in broad daylight, broke into our house and shot my dad in the chin. I was displaced to my aunt's house for weeks and missed most of my 1st grade year. When I was seventeen, I walked in on my home being robbed by some local kids. They were upstairs when I came into the house and escaped through a window, but the idea that I could have come home earlier still haunts me.…
