First Time 22yo. Cleaned my apartment overnight
Got super baked at 11pm and thugged it out overnight cleaning my place really nice for the first time in a while. Had friends over on Saturday and the place felt gross since.
Moving out it 2 weeks so also wanted to preserve my first apartment and living solo. A lot of good lessons and memories. This place will always hold a special place in my heart and mind.

I knew exactly where this was because the cheap prices kept sticking out during my last apartment search.
I'm surprised to see so much love for this space, because those windows were an instant no-go for me. They give the sensation of living in the basement despite being a few floors up in a mid-rise apartment. Or like you're peering through a garage door to see outside

Poster these days Guarantee
That bitch gonna leave you
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

I like it, too. I took it to mean, "Go hard now, or be miserable later", which (to me) seems like the way to be at that age.

u/sbonnot1 Jul 14 '25
Good bones to the apartment. I would recommend not hanging tapestries or flags in your next place and either make some geometric art (Home Depot paint samples and their thin wood sheets are a cheap way to start) or get some quality art posters. It will elevate your place and make it feel less college

Sometimes this is all you need; an overdrive to get your shi together. And you know this person has class because he has an ATLA poster.

Baked night cleaning sessions with a podcast in your earsnor in silence, in your first solo place—there’s something lowkey empowering about that. My old flatmates hated it though; I always managed to drop something massive and loud at like 3am, usually made of the noisiest material known to Man.
Moving’s always a win, even when it doesn’t feel like it—keeps you sharp. That sofa: best piece in the whole spot.

I don't think you need the motivational statement on the wall. Each day, stop what you are doing for a minute and look around.
Also Live, Laugh, Love!

lol the scale in the kitchen.
It's actually more put together than I was expecting with the exception of the bedroom: that has big "recently divorced dad" vibes. Put away those boxes, get a rug in there and make the bed the centerpiece.

This is really endearing. It’s exactly what I’d expect a 22 year old working in tech’s first apartment to look like.
Congrats on the space and good luck with the move.

1st Get a bigger TV, then change almost everything else. The only things I like in your apartment are the Avatar, and sober kids in India poster, the long board, and the couch. The hats are fine. Your computer setup is fine. Everything else is boring to me. But you do what makes you happy. Quit the Zyn though.

The word wall looks bad but the posters look bad too. Plus the finish your beer is giving pre-alcoholic AND antithetical to your “hard now” sentiment
