The 9 Ultimate Apartment Must-Haves For Your First Apartment

This August, I had the wonderful opportunity to move into my first apartment ever. Although I don't reside here all year round I still love living here! Here's a list of must-have items for your brand new apartment:

1. A fully stocked fridge/pantry

Yes, your supply will dwindle down as the weeks go on but it's so important to have a fully stocked fridge/pantry when you first move in and have the opportunity to go grocery shopping.

2. A vacuum 

To keep your floors free of crumbs!

3. Some heavy duty cleaning supplies

It's so important to keep your apartment clean and smelling fresh!

4. Lightbulbs

This one is pretty self-explanatory...

5. Extra blankets and/or pillows

You can never have too many of these!

6. A Brita water filter pitcher 

This pitcher saves you a ton of money and saves the environment, too!

7. "Homey" pieces or pictures 

To make it feel a little bit more like home.

8. A flashlight and candles

You never know when you might lose power, and you want to be prepared!

9. A mini toolkit 

Again, you always want to be prepared.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
