And the university was out along the coast in Long Beach.

And I had this roommate situation set up, but my roommate kind of just fell through.

And even though I was working 35 hours a week, I didn't have a way to pay for my own place out in Long Beach.

So I had to drive all the way from my parents' place, which is an hour and a half away, if there's no traffic.

And in Southern California, there is always traffic.

So I had to wake up from my parents' house and get out of the house by like 4.30 or 5 o'clock.

If I left my parents' house even one minute after 5 o'clock, I'd be sitting in like three hours of traffic.

And this was like my daily commute.

I would drive to work.

I would sleep in my car for a little bit.

I'd work for a few hours.

And then I'd go to school where I was double majoring in biomedical and electrical engineering.

And then after my late night engineering classes would end, I would usually stop by the gas station, grab myself an energy drink, and these Nutter Butter bars, which were just delicious.

And that's the only way I could get home.

I would just be way too tired, and I was doing this for a long time, and I decided to tell my parents that I was staying with a friend, but I started sleeping in my car next to my work.

just in this random parking lot.

It wasn't so bad though.

I could park there in a little secluded area, and the only things I would have to worry about really are the bugs getting in and biting me.

I'd have to worry about rolling up the windows so that people wouldn't know that I'm there, and rolling down the windows so it wouldn't get all fogged up.

And that's kind of what I did.
