    The Emotional Stages Of Finding An Apartment In New York City

    Say hello to "creative storage solutions."

    1. OMG I'm SOOO excited I'm gonna be living in the BIG CITY! EEK!

    2. I'm going to get an amazing apartment. Like Monica and Rachel's, and with Carrie's closet!

    3. Woah look at these places on Naked Apartments! They're like palaces! And they're UNDER budget?!

    4. Why is my broker telling me I can't afford the one bedroom in that doorman building with the terrace overlooking the park? I totally can. I saw it online.

    5. How many stairs do I have to climb to get to this place?

    6. This must be a mistake. This isn't an apartment. It's a closet.

    7. Why is it so dark in here? Oh, there's only one window, and it overlooks a cement building. Cool.

    8. There's no bedroom door? ...So this is a living room with a bed in it.

    9. This seems nicer. A little more space, some sunlight and... WAIT what was that rent number?

    10. And there's also a broker's fee?

    11. I'm exhausted. And my feet hurt because I can't afford anything near a subway stop. I give up. I'm done.

    12. This is the worst experience of my life. I hate New York.

    13. Wait...this seems ok! And it's only $100 over budget? OMG HAND OVER THAT LEASE RIGHT NOW.

    14. I officially live in New York City! I'm so happy! I'm so trendy! I love my place! I love New York! I love life! Everything is wonderful!

    15. Now....how do I get my couch up these stairs?
