My First Apartment

Here I come!

My First Apartment

For 18 years I lived in a house. For 2 years I lived in a dorm, this will be my first time living in an apartment.

It will be a drastic change for me. It will allow me to spread out more and spread out my wings, unlike in a dorm I had to share space with another person, but now I can have a room to myself and a bathroom to myself.

Going into my junior year of college I wanted to be in an apartment and not in a dorm on campus. I am hoping that it will be a good experience for me. Getting to be really on my own and cooking my own food, and not just the gross dining hall food.

It will be different living with three other girls, three complete opposite girls. This will test on how well we can all live together and work together. It is good that I already know 2 of the people that I will be living with, but it will be interesting on how it will work out with her since we all three have never met her.

With girls we can be a little bratty with each other, when we get mad at each other or when we need something done we use notes, we usually don’t use words. I am at fault for this, I used to do this with my ex-suite mate last school year. Unlike boys where when they have a problem with each other they would verbally handle it.


Although we get our own space, we still have to share quite a bit of stuff, like stuff in the kitchen and our living area. We all have to make sure that we all keep everything neat, and not all disorganized and messy. It will be a real bummer if one person is messy and all the rest of the three are neat.

There are going to be down sides on living in an apartment. Such as: getting up 10 minutes before class and just walking out the door, or not having to drive to get to class. Although the up sides are getting my own room and own bathroom (big emphasis on the own bathroom).

A good thing about living in an apartment is that there are other college kids that also live in those same apartments. They either go to my college or go to a different college, but you all can get together and have a good time.

It will be an exciting ride. Seeing if I like living in the apartments, or if it is to over whelming or not a good fit for me.

With all of that said, I am extremely excited to move into an apartment with two of my very good friends. Only one more week till I get to live in my very first apartment, it will be a good experience for me that I’m looking extremely forward to. Although I am a little nervous it will cool to live in an apartment.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
