The First Day of the Rest of Our Lives

So. Today we viewed our first apartment, or apt., as it will be referred to now. It was an enlightening experience. And it made me feel old. Totally.

But first. Our Mission: We are not only writing this blog because we want to keep track of all of the apartments we view in the Hyde Park area, but also to get through this process unscathed.  Or really, start our adult, independent and alone lives unscathed. We are also sharing our experiences with whoever else might want to gain some insight about the apt searching process, especially through the eyes of college students. But, in our apt, we want closets, a porch, light, a nice kitchen, and for utilities to be included. Sweeet.

ALSO. Important Info for College Students. While during the week, like a Wednesday night, you might think that setting up an apt viewing on Sunday morning at 11 sounds like a great idea because you have class at 9:30 the next day, when it actually comes to the weekend - you will not want to wake up. Just fyi.

Our first viewing was a 2 bedroom apt in a WONDERFUL location, near to the supermarket and the train and the buses and fooooood. =] Unfortunately, it was too small for the three of us. But it had a lot of light and it was a great experience.


There will be pictures to come. =]
