My First Apartment Experience

I moved into my first apartment last winter. It was among one of the fine Chicago apartments. I got many things moved into my apartment by 11pm, just some boxes and my washer dryer and freezer. My dad had some friends who came helped that night and the next day. That Friday night I slept on a blow up camping mattress on the floor since my bed was still in the truck. Saturday morning the cable guy came at 7 to connect; I had no TV in the house and had to dig my modem, router and laptop out of a box in my car for him. By 3pm I got all my stuff in with help, also got the truck returned too. I really didn't have a lot of furniture since I gave some of it to my mother and sister so some rooms were nearly empty. Now I have the place full enough.

The life in an apartment did take getting used too. I was not used to hearing occasional noise from my tenants and the people that lived in the house attached to mine. It was also the first time in years I had lived alone with no one except my cat, I had almost always had a room mate or family living with me. Once I got the unpacking done and was settled in I was one minute thankful to have the quiet and solitude and the next feeling a little lonely. Now I have adjusted fairly well the light random noises from neighbors I hardly notice, I go out and visit friends a few times a week to keep from feeling lonely and when I get bored at home I work on painting and other improvement tasks. I now I like being in my apartment and I am fine with being alone, in fact I prefer it over how I used to live and what I put up with.

My Apartment Search

I rented my first apartment when I was 19. I had to because my University is miles away from my place. I have used my friends help in finding apartments. I could able get apartment but could not get any roommate to share with. I used some online resources to get any one who is looking for same. I found few people but how do I know about them? Then I found some articles on the same websites to select roommates. I implemented those tips. Wow!! They worked for me. I also found reviews and ratings of my apartment given by previous tenants of this apartment. I came to know about the various features to see in selecting apartment. I found some really good apartments in the same locality I am looking for. I had some research on those apartments. I along with my roommate sparred little time in the weekends to find a best suitable apartment for us. Finally we could able to get what we are looking for. We shifted to our new and current Fort Worth Apartment which is more suitable for us and our needs. Thanks to James who suggested me to go for online resources in finding apartments and roommates.

Buying Beds in Ireland

Looking to buy beds in Ireland?? I will share the following five tips that are most useful when buying beds and mattresses.
  • Buy the biggest bed you can afford and comfortably fit in your bedroom – the bigger the bed, the better night’s sleep you’ll get.
  • Balance firmness and comfort, bearing in mind your weight and build – too firm and it’ll be like sleeping on a board; too soft and you’ll have too little support.
  • Buy the best quality mattress you can afford – it will repay you many times over in the quality of sleep you get.
  • Buy the right type of mattress for your bed type – some mattresses are designed to work best with a particular type of base.
