The Upgrade

Last year I lived in a dorm room. It looked something like this:

Bed

Desk

Closet

Spacious Room. (There's another bed to the right of the frame.)

Now I am a big girl. So I'm living in an apartment. And this is what my room looks like:

Dresser and desk

Dresser and Desk

Bed

Side A. That lone suitcase is the one thing I still need to finish unpacking. It has my tank tops, a pair of gloves, and two hats inside of it.

Side B. The door you see is the door to the closet. It doesn't open all the way because of the dresser next to it.

The closet. It's hard to get a decent picture of it-- there's maybe about 8 more inches to the left. Shared between two people. I have to actually put my shirts in my dresser this time around.

So I don't know how much of an upgrade the sleeping quarters ought to be considered. BUT I do have a decently sized kitchen, a living room, and there are 2 full bathrooms for the five of us girls.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and it was absolutely terrifying. I don't know how to do food. I got yogurt, fixings for salad, pasta, rice, tuna, pita... and I think that's about it. I'm already making another list. I need to figure out how to cook chicken. Right now I'm leaning towards boiling, because it sounds feasible. And then I can freeze it and stuff. Clearly I'm a pro...

So this is Lauren. Learning how to Live. Alliteratively, it appears.
