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 thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?
