This past Saturday I was able to start moving into my apartment. I was super excited, until I started signing the lease. After writing down my signature for, oh I don't know, the thousandth time, the thought hit me, "Crap, I'm an adult now." It was an interesting experience walking into the apartment and realizing that I would now be living there and doing adult things. Several thoughts made me realize even more how much I was actually growing up.
For example, while looking at the kitchen it dawned on me just how much I would have to do for myself in there: wash dishes, cook food, etc. The kitchen also contained the washer and dryer hookups. I looked at those in horror. Then the worst realization of all punched me in the gut... I have to go grocery shopping for myself now. I'm a pro with shopping at the mall. The grocery store, not so much. So, it was with a bitter sweet feeling in my heart that I lugged all my stuff up several flights of stairs to my apartment.
The whole entire day was long and exhausting. My mom and I went to Ikea to get me a bed frame and discovered a little while later that all of the pieces weren't there... After that, I decided the day had gone on long enough and that we were done.
What I have learned from all of this is that I have been spoiled and that reality is going to be starting pretty soon. Am I ready for it? Well, we're just going to have to find out.
