Today marks the first week of being in my summer apartment. Am I happy? Yes and No. I've discovered a few things about myself and about the cleanliness of others.
First of all, my apartment was disastrously gross. Especially the kitchen. I had to clean out and wipe down the fridge, wipe down all the counters in the kitchen and bathroom, and remove expired or moldy foods in the fridge. I do not understand how people can just leave food like that.
Second of all, me. I've never really lived alone. Not that I am alone because I do actually have a roommate. I have always had friends around or at least a family member. I'm in a sorority, yet I'm not very close to many of the women who are staying here from said sorority. I suppose I should credit it to me liking to do my own thing when I want to do it and the way I want to do it.
The question now is: Am I happy? Yes I am. I am actually very happy. I prepare my meals, I find things to do around the apartment, I have classes to attend, I look for jobs, and more. I'm really glad I'm staying over the summer this year. I feel a lot more ready for this coming year since I will be living in my proper apartment off campus. I will know that I need to buy certain things such as a vacuum or a cutting board. Things I would have never thought of coming from a dorm.
I feel like happiness comes and goes. There will always be small periods of stress and despair, but at the end sleep cures everything.
Cheers,
Claire
