Hello there, my sweet apartment roommate! I wanted to take some time to articulate just how excited I am to be living with you this school year. Here we are, finally all settled into our first apartment; this is so crazy as we take another step into adulthood. I am writing this today to tell you a few important things that I want you to always remember.
First, know that I will always be around to support you, no matter what. I want nothing short of what is the best for you throughout the entire school year (and beyond!) so I am ready to offer any advice, fresh perspectives, or listening ears whenever you may need them. If something is bothering you, know that you can always open up to me about whatever it may be.
Furthermore, I am free of judgment. I want you to feel comfortable doing whatever makes you content, even if those things are not similar to the choices that I would make. Our differences are what make each of us unique. I can only hope that you feel like you can embrace whatever kind of life you want; after all, we should feel comfortable in our own living space.
Next, I am anxious for all of the learning that we will experience together. Paying bills on time, cooking dinner, meal prepping, balancing more and more responsibilities, staying true to personal value preferences, fortifying different types of relationships, and prioritizing time are all aspects of life that we have been exposed to before but truly are learning how to incorporate this year. I am so thankful that we have each other for guidance as we deal with all of these important things.
Most importantly, I will always keep the apartment clean. Maintaining an organized space is crucial to living comfortably. Plus, people usually feel better when everything is in place in a clean environment. You will never have to worry about the accumulation of filth taking over our apartment; I can ensure you that I will never let that happen!
Finally, I have enjoyed sharing this space with you thus far, and I am looking forward to the rest of the school year with feelings of excitement and positivity. I hope that you are feeling the same way. There is no other person that I would rather experience living in my first apartment with!
Here's to a great year!
