If you're reading this you probably already know that a few days ago I moved down to Cincinnati to attend graduate school at Xavier University. Seeing as how this is the first time I've lived completely on my own I figured I would write about the experience. Maybe it'll be funny, maybe it'll be entertaining, or maybe no one will read it but regardless every couple of days or so I plan on writing something. we'll see how long i stick to it. Here. We. Go. (claps hands together...and I thought my jokes were bad.)
Since moving in on Saturday I've learned a few things that I thought I would share.
-First and foremost- It doesn't matter how nice your couch is if it doesn't make it through the door. Overstuffed couch + narrow apartment hallways= someone else taking your couch from the corner. Currently I have 2 chairs in its place. You can't see it by I'm frowning right now.
-If you put in a request for something to be fixed by maintenance and you're not there, they will unlock your apartment, fix it, and then use different locks so you stare at your door confused for 10 minutes thinking you're at the wrong place. I kept waiting for Ashton to jump out with cameras...
- Don't be nice and introduce yourself to your 80 year old, oxygen tank carrying neighbor; they WILL ask you to carry things for them within 5 minutes of meeting them. Why do the elderly love beats so much?
-The Chopper is the single greatest kitchen tool ever created. I have chopped at least one thing at every meal.
-Single bedroom apartments have more storage space then one person could possibly ever need but for some reason they only supply roughly 9 inches of kitchen counter space.
-I've talked to my family more these last few days on the phone then i did in person.
-You can George Foreman just about anything.
-On the food note... even though I picked out literally every edible thing in my kitchen why do I still open the fridge 15 times a day looking for something to eat?
Alright, that's all for now. Today is moving in time for the incoming freshman and I need to get off campus as soon as possible.
Quick thanks to my parents, Alex, and Heather and Matt for helping me move in. Love you guys!!!
PS... if you know of a browns backer's bar in Cincy please let me know!
