5 Relatable Experiences Student-Living Apartments Have Given Everyone

If you are a college student or have ever been a college student, who has lived in a student apartment, you know that there are certain struggles that you have to put up with.

Student apartments are usually cramped, with large companies trying to money off us unfortunate college students. Do they really care about us? Individually, no. As a whole, yes, because we bring in the big bucks.

Think of all those rent checks, all those extra charges (parking, dog, trash violations, etc.), and those late fees... they're in Heaven.

Here are 5 experiences that you'll probably find relatable if you've ever lived in a student-housing apartment.

Thin walls. 

I know, I know. It's a student-living apartment, I shouldn't expect much. But, if I am paying over $800 a month (not to mention people who pay over $1,000), I should at least not be able to hear my upstairs neighbors having sex!

Party atmosphere.

Okay, this is where you argue that college is prime partying time... but is it really? And even if it was, does that still apply when it's 3 a.m. and music is still blasting?

Dog poop everywhere.

And I mean, everywhere. I guess college students are responsible enough to get a dog, but not responsible enough to pick up their dog's poop.

Trash. Everywhere.

Beer cans. Liquor bottles. Pizza boxes. You name it and I guarantee it's littered around the complex somewhere. It's like moving away from home meant everyone lost their manners.

Ill-informed staff.

I'm not hating on the staff per se, but the amount of times I've been told the wrong thing... Not to mention the times when I've been told one thing, then happen to be in the front office when they tell someone else a very different thing... I just wish they were all well-informed and were on the same page.

Side note: Not hating on all leasing office staff, I have dealt with some incredibly nice people who have done everything in their power to help me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
