    “My favorite spot in the apartment is my bed, for obvious reasons. It’s the place where I relax after a long and busy day, talk with my family on my phone, and, of course, it’s where I sleep! Every night my roommates and I talk about what happened during the day, and we discuss our schedules for the next day before we fall asleep. It’s just a nice and cozy place to hang out and rest, both at night and in the morning.” —Lauren de Graaf

    “Where I stay now, my landlord keeps it at oven temperature in the building 24/7. Not quite a bad thing when it’s freezing outside. But when I wake up early every morning, it’s nice to just stand by the open window with my coffee and get a bit of fresh, cold air. It’s also a plus to see the sun rise across the Williamsburg Bridge!” —Baylee Soles

    “This is one of my favorite places because at least once in the day I like to take the time and do yoga. The best is when the sun is streaming through the window because it makes the vibes in the room so peaceful. It’s the time of day when I can relax.” —Kelsey Soles
