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,

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
