Making Your Own Food Sucks, And 8 Other Things I Learned After Moving Into My First Apartment

Sara Durphy

Moving into your first college apartment is hard. Here are some things I learned:

1. You have to clean everything

Otherwise you just feel like you're living in a dirty environment.

2. Making your own food sucks.

I miss my mom's cooking! I have been surviving off of toast and eggs.

3. You can bake whenever you want.

Freshman 15 may have been bad. Junior 50 is going to be worse.

4. Doing your own laundry

Even though I had to do my own laundry in the dorm, it still feels so weird doing it in an apartment.

5. Going food shopping alone

I hated food shopping at home. It is even worse at school.

6. Locking the door

I don't know why, but locking and making sure the door is locked every night is so hard.

7. Driving yourself around

Not having a parent to drive you around is not fun.

8. Missing home

While in my own apartment, I realized how much I miss home.

9. You realize how much you took for granted at home

Now that I am fending for myself, I really miss home.

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
