    1. it is short for any how, so it should actually be "anyhoo"
    2. it sounds ridiculous so don't use it

    In fact, the only one that should ever use it is Blathers, but he'd probably say "anyhoot" or maybe not even that since he's kinda stuffy with his "jolly good" b-s.

    Okay, here's one more that needs to be retired. " You can't make this stuff up." That is incorrect. You CAN make that stuff up . You can make anything up. That's why it's called " made up ." Please stop trying to be so cute.

    I lived in Boston for about 10 years. The total number of different roommates I had was around 30. Can I remember all their names? Nope.

    Not at all. Anywho.com does not provide names for phone numbers where the owner has requested to be unlisted. It's basically the old fashioned phone book, but in reverse and online...

    Well, I see starting out by myself in a studio/1 bedroom as a viable option, at least when I first start out, but I am afraid it will prevent me from being as sociable as one should be, especially if I'm going to be spending those first 18 months studying for CPA exams

    if you're going to work at a public accounting firm, you'll get to know more than enough people your age.

    Ummm even though I prefer hanging out with girls over guys, Tinder is not exactly everybody's go to for friends/roommates. I have a TON of stories involving Tinder, most of which you don't want to know about

    Yes, every cpa firm I worked for, all the staff and senior accountants all bond really well. Just make sure to go out with them for drinks even if you aren't drinking. They'll help you get through the studying bullshit too. It's always nice to commiserate with others.

    Last question (and then I'll PM you if I think of any more): Is it possible to study for CPA exams during busy season?
