The Apartment Key Arrival

That first night when they hand you the keys to your new place. You open the door and it’s a coin flip. Either it’s better than expected or it looks like a scene from a horror movie. Things are clicking and banging at night, the bed feels like cardboard, and the bathroom light flickers like you’re in a haunted house.

That moment is when reality really smacks you…this is home now. For the next 9 months, you either figure it out or you learn to love sleeping with a cross and stake under your bed.
