Off to my new job...I think...=?

So, I start my new job in November. I'm extremely excited! I'm ready to do lab work and progress in my career.
Now I run into another problem. Of course I did not think that finding a place to live would be easy. Especially considering that I don't know the area from the back of my hand. So, after talking to some family members they advised me to find a roommate to decrease on expenses...OK...
Allow me to explain why this is a good and bad idea. I'm a bit of a loner at times. I don't like the idea of coming home to someone that I know...in this instance it would be even worst because the person is a stranger. Yes I can save money but my sanity and well-being is much more valuable. One family member advised me to get a roommate because it seemed better to have someone to come home to...are you serious...I'm an adult...I don't need anyone to come home to...except a place that I can call my own...
This same family member is someone advising me to consider a profession that I've thought about for 2 seconds...my mind is focused on something that I'm much more passionate about...something that grabs my interests...
With this being said, I still went on hunting for a roommate. I found someone who needs someone to cut expenses...great right. Then I talked with an old friend who told me about where she's staying...she said that it is a really good place.
So, I called and it seemed that things were too good to be true. They were...I would pretty much have to pay rent and electricity (no deposits, administration, or application fee). But, they only have 3 spots left...they give me the roommate lists and I call each person. One number is a wrong number, the other person did not answer their phone and has not called me back, and the last person said that she had already found someone. Excuse my language but WTF. I'm not in college anymore. I have a job...I'm not looking for someone to be BFFs with...I'm looking for a place to stay...I'm not that obliged to getting a roommate that I get along with...as long as she stays out of my way I'll stay out of hers...
So I talk to someone at the apartment complex and she's like maybe you should consider a 3 BR...WTF...NO. I asked for a 2 BR and if I can't get that from you guys I'll go somewhere else. She just wants a sale...I'm not stupid...and I've already been through undergrad and had my college experience...I refuse to go through it again and be in a 3 BR.
So the original person I was considering in the beginning is looking better and better. I feel like I'm compromising by even living with someone knowing that in my heart I don't want to...and I also feel like my family can shove it with their terrible advice and opinions of what I should do with my life...
As if I don't have enough to deal with, one family member offered to let me borrow their car IF I needed it...of course I'll need it...I'm in an unfamiliar area and my job is not a simple 8-4 or 9-5. There are going to be times that I stay late and I would rather not wait and take a cab when I can just hop in a car and go home. Not to mention the fact that I am in my 20's and I would like to have the ability to travel to a closer more prominent city when I feel like leaving my home.
So, on top of the fact that I don't know where I'm going to stay there is a strong chance that I will be taking the bus. I don't mind taking the bus I just like to have freedom. I'm not some high school girl going to college. I'm a college graduate who has a great job and who wants the opportunity to be independent...and comfortable in her own thoughts. I am a woman...someone who knows she needs help...and people who are willing to help her without bashing her for taking the road less taken in life.

FINALLY

Finally...a sigh of relief leaves my body...
My first REAL job offer! I am so excited and yet at the same time that I get the job offer, I have the opportunity to work at a place that I've wanted to work for years...
The dilemma is that I said yes to the first job because I figured that I would not get anything else...but while the first job is a great offer, the second job is a better offer...
It may seem petty but location and comfort is big for me. I will be in this position and this place for at least 2 years before graduate school...
Both jobs are entry levels...one pays more than the other and one gives me more responsibility and the ability to get my own research project...
One researches info that I am interested in going to grad school for...Both jobs have their pros and cons...but while I said yes, I feel like I will disappoint...
So, wow right now I don't have a problem, I feel that next week I will lol...
The second job is perfect but the first is good...and I killed the second interview so I have a feeling that they will offer me the job...
So I guess I should go with my dream job in the dream location...with my dream research...
But, I don't want to be sorry... =?
