Dear First Apartment,

First off I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for being my first big girl home. Thank you for providing me shelter and welcoming me with open arms. You are my sanctuary the the place I retreat too after long days at school. The place I get to call my own.

That being said, please be good to me. I will let you in on a secret, I don't know what I am doing. I am learning how to be an adult every minute of every day so please take it easy on me. I ask that you take care of me and I will take care of you.

Teach me responsibility. I am learning how to care for myself while I care for a home. Teach me how to do both with class and dignity. Allow me the opportunity to try my best and learn something new along the way.

The memories I will make here are some I can't make anywhere else. From cooking my first meal, to spending my first night in my own room. I ask that you help me take snapshots of the best years of my life. Allow the memories I make here to carry on through my life. solidify friendships and build new relationships.

Lastly, Thank you. Thank you for giving me roommates who want to get to know me. Who encourage me to try new things. who want to see the best for me.

I don't know what this years holds, but I know it is going to be something special. With that I say let the good times roll and I'm so glad I have found a place I can call home.

Sincerely,

The girl who is trying her best to adult.
