민수는 대학교에 입학하면서 처음으로 혼자 살게 되었어요.When Minsu started university, he began living alone for the first time.

학교 근처에 작은 원룸을 구했는데, 방이 생각보다 좁았어요.He found a small studio near the school, but the room was smaller than he expected.

처음에는 자유로워서 좋았지만, 곧 할 일이 많다는 것을 알게 되었어요.At first, he liked the freedom, but soon he realized there was a lot to do.

빨래, 청소, 요리를 모두 혼자 해야 했어요.He had to do the laundry, cleaning and cooking all by himself.

가끔 엄마가 보내 준 반찬을 먹으면서 집이 그리웠어요.Sometimes, while eating side dishes his mother had sent, he missed home.

하지만 몇 달이 지나자 민수는 혼자 사는 생활에 익숙해졌어요.But after a few months, Minsu got used to living on his own.
