The 9 Ultimate Apartment Must-Haves For Your First Apartment

In This Article:

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.

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.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
