On Friday, I officially signed my first apartment lease! I John-Hancocked & initialed about fifty pages, but it was well worth it :)
I signed a 12-month lease, but since I'll be spending my last semester of college in Los Angeles, I'll only be in this place for seven months. {A friend is subletting from me for the spring semester, & I'll have it back for summer.} I walked through it last week & I am SO excited to start thinking about how I'll decorate it. It's on an adorable brick-lined street, in a very safe neighborhood downtown, & walkable to both school & my go-to gluten-free grocery store. In short: perfect.
We're on the ground level--so from the sidewalk, we walk down three steps--and my apartment number is a half! I've never seen that before, but my address is 381/2. I thought that was totally cute :)
The best part about it? In the backyard, there is a little fenced-in brick patio! I'm giddy over the fact that I'll be able to eat & read outside on warm nights. I'm already thinking about stringing bulbed-lights on the fence.

I've only met my roommate once...she posted on our college's online tackboard that she needed a roommate, & I jumped for it. {All of my close friends are seniors & graduating, so I unfortunately can't live with them.} But she seems super nice. We both look at the apartment as a place to go home & relax in; aka...not the party house. I think it'll work out great!
I'm just thrilled to be out of DORMS!!
Have a lively Monday!
