Gathering Apartment Supplies

 

    As my graduation date gets closer, I have taken the liberty to start searching for furniture and supplies I will need come time to look for an apartment. I graduate December of 2026. Which yes is over a year away but for the last couple years I have slowly gathered things for an apartment. The way I see it is I would rather collect thing's now for it now and not having to worry about buying all this stuff once I officially have an apartment. Also, because most of the things I am collecting have been free. Meaning I have gotten thing's for my apartment for my birthday and for Christmas. My family has helped me retain items for my apartment to allow me to save up as much money as I possibly can. 

    So far, I have glass plates, a kitchen table, Tv, silverware, cooking pans, crockpots, a couch, cooking sheets, cutting boards, plastic bowls and plates, a Tv stand, desk, cube shelf. When you list everything out it seems like a lot but in reality, there is a lot of things that we on a daily or things to help fill an apartment to make it feel like home. Although I have accumulated so much over the last year there are some things I am still on the hunt for. Like a microwave, knife set, coffee table, end table, bed frame, nightstands, more of the last thing's that I wasn't too worried about getting right away. 

    With all that being said I have two major opportunities to gather the rest of the things I will need for an apartment. My mom moved in with her boyfriend many years ago and has kept all of her thing's that she had in her apartment that I am able to go through to see either what I want and or need. Another opportunity is my stepmom's aunt buys houses and rents them out and one of the houses she just bought still has all of the appliances and everything still there so I will be able to go through that house as well. 

I am beyond grateful that all of my family has helped me gather thing's for a future apartment. It allows me to save tons of money so that I can focus on saving up money in order to get a decent apartment when the time comes and so that I don't feel stressed about all the things I would need to get if I waited to get everything when I got an apartment.

Social Media's connection with Mental Health

  Is there a connection between social media and mental health? The answer to that question is yes and as technology grows and social media platforms progress the more individuals are aware of the connection.      On a personal level I have first-hand come to realize how social media can affect one's mental health. I remember when I first got on social media, I was constantly comparing myself to other females on the platform and wished that I could look like how they did. Then I was fixated on how many likes I got on each of my posts. Social media was destroying my mental health and self-esteem day in and day out. I would constantly look at my phone to see if I had any notifications from someone trying to follow me or liking one of my posts. However, I made changes and over the years since then I have made sure to take time away from social media by completely deleting my accounts and refocusing in on me when I started to feel the negative impact again.
