I don’t know about you, but I don’t really know how to do this whole adult thing.
I mean, we’re not reeeeally taught how to do anything, and every day is kind of just another day to wing it. One thing that can really show our age is the way we present our home.
Young adults and/or college kids tend to have a bit of a stereotype when it comes to the way their house or apartment is going to be.
Dishes everywhere
Pantry stalked with instant meals and ramen noodles
Laundry piled high
What’s a vacuum?
You get the picture. And you don’t want that persona, do ya!?

The fall season definitely comes with some of the best decor. The colors are so inviting and warm, and also adding in a little spookiness for the holidays is always fun.
Your front step is what should be getting the most attention during the Halloween season! This is probably the time of year that it gets the most attention, and all those kids (and their parents!) are going to see if you put any effort into “spooking” up your porch.
Unfortunately in my current home I don’t have much for a front step – just square concrete steps. But that doesn’t mean I can’t dream of the day I have a beautiful front porch!
Keeping on top of your game and getting all your shiz done can be so difficult when you add stress into the mix.
I know what it’s like to be stressed. I’m a student, I’ve worked full time and done school at the same time, I’ve dealt with grief, depression, anxiety, money issues, self-esteem issues and all of the above at the exact same time. It ain’t easy. And when you’re that stressed, all you want to do is curl into a ball in bed and do absolutely nothing. I get it.
But even though you feel like your life may be crumbling and beating you to a pulp, the world around you keeps going. And you need to too.
When it comes to being stressed (which is most of the time, lol) I’m decently good at doing the things that absolutely have to be done – like showing up to work and completing assignments on time. What I tend to skip out on is the other stuff like taking complete care of myself, spending time with friends, or putting more effort into my hobbies (aka blogging!).
And though they may not feel like absolute necessities, they’re still important! If they’re important to you deep down, they’re important to accomplish.
Moving out for the first time into an apartment is so exciting! You’re gaining that independence from your parents in a whole new and exciting way. More freedom, more space – more responsibility.
Once you’ve made that first step in deciding to make the big move, there’s a few steps you can take to make the transition a lot smoother.
Though it’s super exciting and all you want to do is pick a place and show up with the clothes on your back, there’s a few key things that should be covered first.
