My whole life I had told myself that I would never live in an apartment.
I have no idea why I did not want to live in an apartment.
I had friends who lived in apartments when I was younger, and I always went over to their houses’ to play without even thinking about the fact that they lived in apartments. My parents did talk bad about their early years of marriage when they lived in a couple of different apartments, so maybe that is why I never wanted to live in one. Well I moved out of my parents house as soon as I graduated college, and I moved into an apartment. I have not had a very good experience so far. The furnace in the apartment does not do a very good job of keeping the place warm, especially my bedroom. I told my landlord about the problem, but he just commented that none of his other tenants had complained about any heating issues. I decided to just buy two space heaters to help keep my apartment at about seventy degrees. I put one in my bedroom, and I put the other in the living room. They do help warm up those areas for sure, but I am always nervous about using them because I have heard so many horror stories about space heaters catching houses on fire. I have another reason to be worried about having space heaters now, and that is tripping over their cords. I tripped over the cord of the space heater in my bedroom, and I ended up breaking my arm. It was quite the experience. Needless to say, I hope to move out of my apartment as soon as possible.
