It has been a full week since I have moved into my new apartment, and let me tell you it has pretty cool. I get my own space, my own freedom and I can get my alone time, instead of a roommate that is in a dorm always there. If I want to be by myself I can go to my room and shut the door and be by myself.
I was a little nervous about getting to school and back, but it has been quite easy. There is a shuttle I can take from my apartment to school, which has worked extremely well. I just show them my school ID and get on the shuttle, and off to school I go. There are also really nice people I can talk to while I’m waiting for the shuttle and sometimes when I’m on the shuttle, that makes it a little better.
I have to admit I had to call my roommate one night to come pick me up in the apartment complex because I got lost. I was so embarrassed about it, I didn’t even want to look them in the face. Of course they made fun of me a little. There were people out so I had to pretend I knew where I was going, but I did ask two people who had no clue where my building was. In my defense it was at night and it was dark.
It is kind of weird, but my favorite thing about the apartment is that we have a kitchen table. Yeah that’s weird. I like it because for the past two years of college I had to eat on my bed, so it’s nice to have a real place to sit while eating my meals. It makes it feel like a real home instead of just a room.
Another good thing about living in the apartment is that I like my roommates. We are most part respectful of each others things. Not going into others room when they are not there, not eating each others food and being quit in the morning when the others are sleeping and we are getting ready in the morning. I’m really lucky to have roommates like that.
We never see one of our roommates because she never is here. It is good and bad. It is good because she was a random roommate so the three of us friends get to be alone together. It is bad because we don’t get to know her because she seems like a nice person of what we know about her.
I am definitely excited to see what the rest of the year has to bring with the apartment, roommates and of course the important school. I know occasionally we will get in a little tiff, but that is with all roommates, there will always be disagreements around the apartment. I think this is going to be a great school year, and I cant wait what it has in store for me.
