Nothing like moving out to make you miss home.

19 Thoughts When Moving Into My First Apartment
renterst.com

I recently moved into my first apartment shortly before my second year of college. I lived in the dorms at school for my freshman year, which kind of sucked, and I of course lived with my family for my entire life before that. As my family helped me move into the apartment, and for the first week after the initial move-in, these are some of my thoughts on my new living situation.

1. Finally, I'm out of my parents's houses and done with dorm rooms and free to live my life unsupervised. All I have to do is move all this stuff into the apartment.

2. Two flights of stairs isn't a lot.

3. I have a lot more stuff than I thought.

4. Do I really need all this stuff? Is it worth sweating this much carrying it up these stairs?

5. Ok, now that it's all in the apartment, where is it going to go?

6. I need more stuff to make this place cuter.

7. Wow, I'm so ready to be on my own.

8. I have to make sure I'm not too loud, I don't want to disturb any of my neighbors.

9. I really hope I never have to speak to any of my neighbors.

10. I have no food but at least everything looks cute.

11. The grocery store is literally the worst I'd rather starve.

12. Who's gonna take my trash? What do normal people do with all their trash when they don't have someone to pick it up?

13. Better not leave all these lights on I don't want a crazy electric bill. Maybe I should turn off the AC... Wow, I am now an adult.

14. Yes, I get to choose what's for dinner and when to eat it.

15. Eating without my family is kinda boring.

16. It's really quiet and kinda creepy at night around here, better make sure the door is locked 30 times before bed.

17. I miss my family.


18. This will be so much better when my roommate gets here.

19. I love the apartment life.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
