Spending the last two years in a dorm was pretty much terrible. So getting out to find an apartment was very exciting...until we had to actually move into the apartment. Here are 6 things anyone would absolutely hate about moving in the Big Apple.
1. Moving furniture around NYC is hard.
The city is especially not nice to you when you’re trying to lug around furniture from point A to point B. Will the dining table you bought off of the Free and For Sale Facebook page fit in an Uber? Will it even fit in the elevator?
2. You get REALLY lazy.
Looking at the mess around your new apartment, you really just do NOT want to touch that mess. Then you just get really really REALLY lazy.
3. Do not take furniture for granted!
Spending two days without furniture was rough. You miss your bed, your desk, and even a drawer or closet for your clothes. Do NOT take them for granted at ALL!
4. Or WiFi!
Might be sounding like a millennial, but living a week without wifi is HARD. In our case, three girls starting their internships really needed to use wifi to e-mail their employers. We might have spent more time at a nearby café than we did in our apartment.
5. You eventually get sick and tired of all the mess.

6. Everyone is NOT on your schedule.
One thing not to do when moving: PROCRASTINATE. The main reason we had a couple of days without furniture and no wifi is because we procrastinated in calling the movers, people who set off the wifi, etc. They were all booked around the time we were moving in and the earliest dates were all a week later.
So if you're moving in the big city, do NOT be us!
