Well I have yet to be on my site in probably a year. And a lot has happened in that span. First things first, I got an apartment! Yes you read that right. And I know what many of you are thinking, "So what, I did that years ago." But for me, it's awesome. I enjoy having a place that is my own and coming home to the peace and serenity. My boyfriend, Spencer, is living with me so there is not always the quiet aspect but hey, I do enjoy his company from time to time. Anyway, having your own place is great. Paying for it and keeping it clean is not. I feel like before, my life consisted of minor cleaning but many fun adventures. Now that I have a whole apartment I'm responsible for, it like I clean 90% of the time, and have fun 10% of the time. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Any pointers?
Besides the cleaning, there are 2 other things that are pretty irritating. One is the parking situation. We live in a complex which means we share parking in a parking lot. My building has 12 apartments including mine, sharing one parking lot with 22 spaces plus 2 for handicap. Now you tell me if that is fair. If each apartment has 2 people living in them and both people have a car, well, 2 people are out of a space to park. The parking lot needs to be expanded! Whoever set it up this way wasn't thinking.
The other thing is neighbors. I am sure you all saw that coming but it is quite annoying to hear what the people below you or to the side of you are doing. I mean, the walls aren't paper thin, but sometimes it feels like they are. But that's one down fall of living in a complex so I should of seen that coming. All in all, it's great. I have my own deck and a washer and dryer in the apartments which is so wonderful. There may be some downsides but there are certainly downsides anywhere you live whether you rent, own, live with family, etc.
So what about you guys? Where do you live? Any good stories or suggestions for me!?
