Congrats on being out on your own. I got my first apartment when I was 18 and it was a lot to handle at first, but once you get into the rhythm of everything it’s pretty swell. When I was in my apartment I would have a note pad on my fridge with the dates that all my utilities were due. Also managing extra expenses was something I had to get use to, before being on my own I was subscribed to just about any service you could think of. Living in an apartment is pretty easy compared to living in your first house. I bought a house last December and it is a pain in the ass with all the extra expenses you have, you have to learn how to fix the odd things that could go out around the house. But it’s all part of the journey. You seem to have it figured out pretty well. Best of luck to you and especially with your schooling!
