I really like my new place. It's easily affordable, so I'll be able, with budgeting, to not only furnish it but also eat, and continue to go on fun trips with my friends. Although as far as furnishing it goes, I had so much time and so many failed attempts to live on my own, that I already have a lot of furniture and linens and dishes.
I need chairs, basically. I own almost no chairs.
I....really don't need any more dishes. And I was looking at kitchen tools in Walmart or Target or something and realized that if I don't have it, I probably do not need it. Except for a blender and a microwave, but in terms of small tools...
It's a very basic unit in terms of shape, color and fixtures. My sister had visited another one of these apartments when my cousin lived here and called it "soul-less" and lacking in "character". She turned up her nose at my opinion that I don't actually mind if my place lacks character. Look, she doesn't have the same amount of debilitating anxieties as I do, and also, when you have to take an apartment sight unseen and if you don't like it and back out you'll have wasted a year and a half of suffering through bureaucratic red tape and have to go to the back of the line, you kind of don't mind if it lacks character. You want a turn key operation with as few quirks as possible. It's the biggest, cleanest, brightest, most well laid out place I've ever rented.
If I could change anything, I'd wish my bathroom was bigger. The bathroom is always such an afterthought *everywhere*. This one is nice but extremely claustrophobia inducing. I wish it didn't face a window because I feel like I need to keep the door open when I'm showering. Oh well. If I ever get to buy a really great house, I want the most awesome bathroom available. One my guests will talk about when they leave (not that I don't make the best of it with the bathrooms I've had, I get complements on my bathroom decor).
Also, the stairs outside reek of Indian food.
But I already knew that going in, because even subsidized housing complexes get reviewed on the internet in the twenty teens and there are racists and they complain about the foreign people. There are old people too, I seem to live at the cross section of Old People and India. Not a problem.
I have a tiny balcony.
And I got my internet hooked up almost entirely by myself.
