Well I don't know where to get free boxes and my sleep schedule has been screwed up to go to Costco and get those black&yellow totes.apologies if this has been mentioned to you already. But if it helps at all, usps has free boxes that you can buy online. im not sure if its the same in every location But i bought bulk boxes from their site and it was free shipping included. Only thing is theyre shipped unassembled, so they have to be set up urself store.usps.com/...

not currently a tv tray user but i always keep my roots in mind ♡

tbh having a nice setup isnt as great as you might think! im a messy girl, i eat and keep a bunch of stuff on my desk and my current "cute" setup doesnt really facilitate that kinda lifestyle lol

plus if you keep a bunch of cool or cute decorations on or around your setup, dusting/cleaning is soooo tedious

I'd really like to have a pretty painted room in the future, but considering most apartment's stance on painting... it's a long shot.
That's actually surprising to me. From my experience, standard procedure about renting is, you can paint your rooms however you like, you just have to paint them all white again when/if you leave. Has the added benefit that you usually arrive in a freshly painted apartment as well because the renters before you had to adhere to the same standards. It's not a law but that's generally how it's handled by landlords here.

Don't ever feel bad about what you have :) Those people who the "perfect" gaming setups are very few and definitely have poured a lot of time and money into it. It can just seem like so many people have that because we see it on the internet a lot but I guarantee most of us have to work with what we got, which isn't close to those amazing setups. I also gotta admit I feel jealousy a lot when seeing them though, so I have to listen to my own advice lol.

I still don't really have a nice setup gaming-wise either. I put a corner table in my room in hopes to convert it to a gaming corner but it's definitely not as spacious as I'd like it and I'm as dumb as a rock when it comes to technology so building a PC is a long ways off for me rn. Plus I can't afford it. I've not given up that it'll happen eventually though, just far off if the future for me.

I don't have a PC setup, but I'm hoping to at some point soon post-grad. I've been working with the same Microsoft Surface for nearly 5 years now and it's unfortunately really starting to sputter, especially with whatever wifi chip it has in there.

I actually used to have all my collection stuff set up on a TV tray/shelf though, but now I primarily use it to house my games and some of my books. Most of my figures are in a small cabinet with doors (though they unfortunately aren't airtight, so I still have to worry about dust a bit).

No, i don't have a computer setup either.

First i am not really a gamer, and i'm not an IT guy either. I don't know much about computers, just the basics. I have played some games in the past like GTA, Cities Skylines or Rollercoaster tycoon, god i love RCT. But other than these i haven't played anything the last 5 years. As a kid i had a PS2 and later PS3 though.

Second my room has very bad internet connection, it's upstairs and the heating doesn't work and it's always dark unless it's a sunny day (it seems i can't have decent lighting in my room because everytime i change to a strong lamp the lamp will die soon after). Also i can have more collection space if i don't have a desk there lol.

I have my own laptop, it's an Asus tuf gaming laptop despite being no gamer xD
It runs fine and i can do my everyday stuff. I most of the time sit in the living room and have a bit of a corner where i am located.

I might create a desk setup when i move houses. When i have my own house i have more space and the rooms will likely have heating and good lighting. I am currently also living with my dad (and a younger brother).

Hmmm that’s actually not a bad idea for colour I’m (well my mom is cause I know nothing about painting a room) currently painting my downstairs area due to an issue that occurred but we are just going with white and possibly grey for a modern look….but lavender and blue seems like a good idea! I could see it working if it was pastel colours but not the actual bright colours! If that makes sense XD

Hey, I totally feel you! I’m very lucky to currently have a room that’s entirely my own and filled with expensive things (which I honestly shouldn’t be buying haha), but in high school I slept in the same room as my grandmother and sister (we just didn’t have enough space) and had no room for even a desk. It made doing homework really hard! I couldn’t do it at the dining room table either, because it was covered with piles of laundry, so my bed was the only place. Finally, I cleared off a portion of the dining table, plopped my HP down, and called it my own. I was overjoyed! If I told myself of the past, and that was just a few years ago, that I would have my own room, a PC, and figurines, I would have never believed it.

The people in my house thinned out, and my room used to be my mom’s, but she’s given it to me since she’s disabled and can’t go up stairs anymore. This was very kind and noble of her! I’m so very lucky and fortunate to have what I do, and I’m grateful every day for it! I promise you aren’t alone in those thoughts though, I think envy is very natural for everyone to have.

P.S. Dutch apple pie sounds super tasty!
