Moving out is super hard. What’s even worse than moving out is cleaning your apartment after you’ve moved all your crap out of it, and looking under your couch and realizing that the floor on the underside of your sofa has literally never seen the light of day, and you might have to pause to vomit mid-cleaning.
During this moving-out period at the end of August, I always find myself wondering a) why in God’s name do I have so much crap? b) why am I just realizing this now? and c) how did I live with the bottom of the couch looking like this for the entire year? Here’s a completed list of all the super weird things you’ve probably found while cleaning your apartment.No one knows whose shoes these are. They were left at one point by an unknown guest, and everyone in the apartment assumed they were one of the roomies’ boyfriend’s shoes, but then the boyfriend came to help clean, and they still aren’t claimed. Something’s fishy. It’s a damn shame these weren’t cuter or else I’d have some free Nike’s post move out.
2. An aggressively dusty, year-old Bid Day shirt found behind the dresser.
Ugh. I would have been excited about finding this if it wasn’t so dusty. So long, 2014 Bid Day, it’s been super real.
3. Some cheese stuck to the back of the fridge.
Yay!! My favorite thing. This is going to be so fun scrubbing this off—man, oh man, I can’t wait!
4. Several earrings stuck in the carpet.
I’m really glad I found these now that I threw out the matching earring to the pair.
5. A box of silverware found in the coat closet that has never been opened.
All those times I didn’t want to do dishes but had to because there was no silverware left— could have just taken a field trip to the coat closet and got some more out, but LOL, that never happened.
6. A large box of Fun Dip.
Why?
7. The realization that your bed is actually broken.
Sick. Let’s just hope they don’t actually check anything and give me the entire security deposit back?
8. A jar of bath salts the person before you left and you still haven’t used/touched/thrown it out.
I’m really glad these bath salts and I could share this year together. Off to the dumpster you go, bath salts.
9. Your tent from We Fest that you still haven’t cleaned.
There are no words for the #stank this is going to create. *Insert scared emoji here*
10. A care package your church gave you encouraging you to come back to church.
I’ll think about it. Thanks for the free popcorn and study #snax though.
