5 Emotions College Students Feel About Moving Into An Apartment

Chances are if you're like me, adulthood is scarier than you expected. It's full of constantly asking yourself philosophical questions such as, "Do I put laundry detergent before I put the clothes in the washer or after?" "Will I eat today?" and "Did I turn my straightener off before I left the house? I just moved into an apartment with my two roommates, and as overwhelming as it was, I have never been more excited. Here are five emotions of moving into an apartment as a college student.

1. Overwhelmed.

It's a little overwhelming thinking that you are actually going to have to pay bills because if not then you have nowhere to live. (Shout out to our parents for giving us a roof over our heads for 18+ years). Oh yeah, and you have to get furniture, groceries and other stuff that gives me breathing problems just thinking about them.

2. Excited.

Regardless of all of the stress, you realize you are about to be living in an apartment with your best friends, and the fun times will most definitely override the stressful ones.

3. Scared.

I have come to the realization that adulthood requires a lot of effort, and I'm still trying to work it out. Like how do I remember to lock the door every time I leave and to not drink expired milk?

4. Happy.

You learn to appreciate the small things and can't help but be happy about coupons and store brand products.

5. Accomplished.

Once you get everything sorted out, you can't help but feel like 56 percent adult.

Love,

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
