EDGEWATER — The bed is on an elevated bunk. Below the bed is a desk, dressed with items from college: clothes, books and accessories. The floor is barely visible beneath a slew of still-stuffed bags of clothes.
In 2016, Dina Bardakh, 23, uprooted her life from Hunter College, along with the degree in political science she received, and plopped down inside the 273-square-foot room of her mother’s two-bedroom modest apartment alongside the Hudson River.
A year later Bardakh is still there, in the room she shares with her two teenage sisters.
“I never unpacked,” Bardakh explains. “I never imagined myself back here for as long as I have been. So, what do you do then?”
Ha! Too funny. What makes you think it’s only college grads?
