• Well, they’re not living with their parents.

  Over the last few years, tons of people have decided that what’s missing from their lives is hippy flexibility (or short-lived fame, I’m not sure which).

  The new bohemian: doesn’t want to find an apartment. He can spend his spring break living in a super center.

  Or he can forgo dorm fees and rough it for eight months, calling the library his home.

  Or build his own little apartment within the hulking structure of a suburban mall.

  Or, in the most off-puttingly corporate of these scenarios, he can broker a deal with IKEA to crash at their place for a while.

  So, you don’t like your choice of conventional places to live? Follow any of these trails and create a tiny piece of fame all your own.
