new apartment
Hey hey hey! So, for the first time EVER I am moving out all on my own! Well, all on my own is only true for the near future. I'm moving into an apartment where I'm supposed to have roommates but currently don't. Hopefully, some will move in for the fall, but right now little ol' me is all alone. Today, I went out and bought sooo much stuff. Bath mat, towels, dishes, cheese grater, etc. I cannot actually fathom that I bought a cheese grater. I thought those just magically spawned when you became an adult, nono, I spent my hard earned dollars on that. Not to mention, when I actually get keys to the place, I'm going grocery shopping for the first time. THAT is going to be a lot of money. I also thought that you just got a food starter pack when you moved in somewhere, also wrong. Something that really boggles my mind is seasonings. I have to buy like all the seasonings..? Like all of them..?! Wow I never realized how many different things I sprinkle into my food before I eat it. Hopefully when my roommates come they bring seasonings and I can mooch off them HAHA. Even though today costed a lot of money, I'm just happy that I will more than likely have all this stuff for the rest of my life, or at least a considerable amount of time. I hope I don't have the same bathmat for the rest of my life, but the plates I bought are cute and hopefully they stay with me longer than the bathmat does. Something that no one tells you also is you have to furnish the place that you're living in. I move in pretty soon, about a week or so, and I have no bed lined up. I mean, I've texted people on facebook marketplace with my suspiciously new account to ask but they probably think I'm a bot or something. My current best bet is a futon, because its a couch AND a bed, double win. But yk all thats left is: dresser, table, chairs, rug, end tables, lamps, plants, etc etc etc. WOW that is so much. I'm cool with living with the bare minimum so thats good because I'm really going to be utilizing that skill of mine while I save up for furniture. Although its really daunting, I couldn't be more excited. I'm so excited to make this place my home and live with girls that I'll hopefully love and be friends with for a long time. I'm so excited to sit on the futon that was the only thing I had on day 1, and make sooo many memories. I was actually really close to buying a studio apartment for myself, but living alone definitely is even more daunting than furnishing an entire place myself and living alone for a short amount of time. I mean, my job is hugely depressing, as well as school is hard. I'm also just by nature a social butterfly, so I cannot wait for people to come over, but also meet people who i know, and so forth. Community is huge for me, and its hard to have one when theres no one there. EITHER WAY, this is going to be awesome. And if it sucks, well, I guess I'll move back home and give up LMAOOO
