Help me with my grammar. Please.

Question

Ok, my final examen is close. Help me please my friends. My grammar is the next :
A new experience
One thing that has really changed my life happened when I decided to study in Lima and live alone in a little flat with a little kitchen. So, I felt comfortable at the beginning, but after a few months I started to miss my parents and friends. I was 15 years old. In the end, I travelled home from Lima to Barranca every weekend, also in holidays.

Thanks in Advance.

...life ~~happened~~ was when // little flat with a ~~little~~ tiny kitchen. I was only fifteen years old, so ~~In the end~~ I ended up travelling home...........every weekend and on holidays.

N.B. Help me please my friends = Help me make my friends happy.
Help me please, my friends = Hey, friends! Would you please help me?

So is sometimes used to start a sentence in speech, but it rarely is used to start a completely new sentence in formal writing. It is more often found after a comma or semi-colon when it starts a clause.

I decided to study in Lima and live alone in a little flat is correct if you want to say you decided you wanted to live in a little flat as well as study in Lima.
I decided to study in Lima, and lived alone in a little flat is correct if you want to say that living in a little flat was something you did as a consequence of your decision to study in Lima.
