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.
