The 9 Ultimate Apartment Must-Haves For Your First Apartment

This August, I had the wonderful opportunity to move into my first apartment ever. Although I don't reside here all year round I still love living here! Here's a list of must-have items for your brand new apartment:

1. A fully stocked fridge/pantry

Yes, your supply will dwindle down as the weeks go on but it's so important to have a fully stocked fridge/pantry when you first move in and have the opportunity to go grocery shopping.

2. A vacuum 

To keep your floors free of crumbs!

3. Some heavy duty cleaning supplies

It's so important to keep your apartment clean and smelling fresh!

4. Lightbulbs

This one is pretty self-explanatory...

5. Extra blankets and/or pillows

You can never have too many of these!

6. A Brita water filter pitcher 

This pitcher saves you a ton of money and saves the environment, too!

7. "Homey" pieces or pictures 

To make it feel a little bit more like home.

8. A flashlight and candles

You never know when you might lose power, and you want to be prepared!

9. A mini toolkit 

Again, you always want to be prepared.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
