Finally, you\u2019ve landed a place all to yourself! Freedom is within your reach, and it tastes so sweet. But the excitement of moving day will be overshadowed by stress if you forget essential items. Be prepared for your first apartment by referring to this list - it\u2019ll help you keep track of all the things you\u2019ll need: 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mattress and Bedding<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You probably don\u2019t want to spend your first night sleeping on the floor. Enjoy your new bedroom by purchasing a mattress with sheets and pillows. After all, we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, so you might as well make it comfortable.

Cleaning Supplies <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all hope that our first apartment will be spotless when we arrive, but those who have moved before know that this is usually not the case. Protect yourself from leftover germs<\/a> by settling in with cleaning supplies. Add these items to your checklist: a broom, dustpan, mop, dish soap, sponges, toilet scrubber, laundry supplies, paper towels, glass cleaner, trash bags, and a disinfectant. You\u2019ll be armed and ready to tackle any mess that\u2019s left behind.

Kitchen Items<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After all the work of moving, you\u2019ll likely have just one thing on your mind: food. Don\u2019t forget to stock up on groceries once everything is moved and done. Fill your pantry with whatever you prefer to eat, whether that\u2019s pasta, rice, or cereal. For the fridge, purchase milk, eggs, fresh vegetables, and proteins like chicken or tofu. It will be exciting to cook your first meal in your new apartment - unless you forget all the appliances and tools you need to do so. Pack yourself some pots and pans, plates, glasses, mugs, mixing bowls, a can opener, cutlery, and oven mitts. Tupperware and plastic wrap will be useful for storing leftovers. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bathroom Necessities<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been there - sitting in the washroom, doing your business when suddenly you realize that you forgot the toilet paper. What could be worse? Save yourself from this dreaded scenario by stocking up on toilet paper before you arrive at your apartment. You\u2019ll want to purchase a shower curtain to save the floors from water damage and keep your security deposit. Throw in some soap, shampoo, and a shaving razor. Finally, remember to pack some bath and hand towels. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aid Kit<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Accidents happen. When you\u2019re moving all your stuff<\/a> from your car, up a flight of stairs, and into your apartment, you\u2019ll likely get a few bumps and scrapes along the way. Be prepared for unforeseen injuries by bringing a first aid kit with you. Include band-aids, ibuprofen, gauze, hydrogen peroxide, Polysporin, medicine for colds and coughs, and an ice pack. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extras<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While these might not be essential, they\u2019ll be useful in a pinch. Bring some screwdrivers to help with installing and disassembling items. Batteries will surely come in handy. To make your new apartment feel like home, you might want some decorations; consider buying a few rugs, throw pillows, blankets, or knick-knacks that will personalize your space without damaging the walls.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this checklist, you\u2019ll be ready to move into your first apartment without fretting that you\u2019ve forgotten something. Now, all that\u2019s left to do is find your dream suite.
