Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
So, I've been staying in my boyfriend's dorm for 2 weeks...and its been all gravy...But security just found out tha i've been here for 2 weeks and they said i have to be gone by tuesday!!
I only have 400 to my name right now....
I don't know what to do....My family is 6 hours away, i can't afford to make that trip right now....nor do i think they will take me in because we left on horrible terms.
I just started this new job at a really nice club...so i think i can have enough money to get my own place in 2 weeks....but thats if i can continue to work there...
I think i'm about to cry...i've never been in a situation like this...
What am i going to do?

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
You said your at the club thats listed with Best Dancers right?
Ask if they have dancer accommodations. If they're hooked up with Best Dancers there is a chance there is something.
Also start searching the papers for rooms to rent. Or even something thats night by night or weekly until your on your feet. There are always options out there you just need to use your head and think.
Good luck darlin.

worse comes to worse... get a cheap motel, work every night until you have enough to get your own apartment. look on craigslist and get a room in a place with some roommates. are there such things as co-ops in your area?

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
Hi from your profile I figured u live in Pittsburgh, I just went to the PA craigslist and found a few listings for roommates that were female preferred and not creepy, most likely (bcs I know nothing about your area) you will find better ones, but here are the listings and below those is the exact room/share link to go to:

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
go get a weekly motel. you'll spend just a little over what you'd spend on a nice apartment-- and you don't have to worry.
plus maybe if you're gone for a week you can come back to the dorm for a week :D
otherwise look up hostels in your area.

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
$22 a night for non members, $19 for members (you can normally buy a membership cheap) which is cheaper than most of the weekly motels (or at least the ones that I'd stay in.)
some hostels have a cap on how many nights you can stay-- but it's worth it to check out. Plus you get to meet a lot of typically cool traveler type people.

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
the motel sounds like a good idea...but i don't know about the hostel
staying in a big room with a whole bunch of strangers.....kinda scares me

well, it can't scare you as much as being "on the streets," right?

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
you'd be surprised-- check it out before you decide. most hostels are worldly and comfy and very friendly and safe.

when i say streets...i meant sleeping in my car....thats all i'll have after tues... But i'd rather do that then sleep in a room with a whole bunch of strangers....i'm scared of getting robed...or, i don't know.... its just a scary thought to be sleeping next to some stranger....

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
I saw some people looking for roommates on the craiglsit link Lklucky gave me...and they are pretty inexpensive....a lil under 20 a night...and i get my own room furnished....
but i'm wondering...
If i'm interested in being someone's roommate....should i tell them i am a stripper?? I mean, they are gonna ask what i do for a living...because they want to make sure they get the money for rent....but idk...that might turn someone off right???

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
i know you can cocktail waitress at 18 in PA and I'm thinking that applies to bartenders.
hrm, you could say waitress.

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
this happened to my ex when we were living in a dorm room together.
around this time there are A LOT of students desparate for roommates because school just started. + yeah, just lie & say you're a bartender. maybe by the end of the semester you + your dude could move in together, even...

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
Why not just stay away on Tuesday and keep living there? Just make yourself less noticable.

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
I'm so glad you checked out the link, try to find another female to room/live with; you would be surprised how many posts are girls looking to room with other girls. If you find someone you get along with and there is long term roommate potential then I would just tell them what you do for a living with no shame or embaressment:D

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
if you're working, you can work and have more than 400 dollars. that's actually a good start

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
Cheap motel is a good option in a pinch. Craigslist is a great resource too for roomshares, I did it with good results. Worse case senario, sleep in your car in a wal-mart parking lot or truck stop, though it really won't come to that if you keep working.

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
what are you going to do? strip your ass off and get a hotel. you have an opportunity that most people in your situation never will, take advantage of it.

Re: Omg... I'm on the streets on Tues...
You are coming to work at Blush tonight right? There is a hotel above the club, that is where the agency dancers live. Call the club or come in early and ask about it.
