I remember very well the day I moved into my first apartment. I went from living with my parents, to living in my college dorm, to moving into a big city and living with one of my best friends.
The first day I touched down, I dropped my heavy suitcases into our empty place and tried to take it all in.
Something about moving into a new apartment is magical and ripe with possibilities. I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to paint, where I would arrange my furniture, and how I would dress the walls.
But I did understand that one of the trickier parts about an apartment is that there is a balance of power when it comes to the amount of upgrading that you are allowed to do. You can’t knock down a wall or completely remodel a kitchen.
