Apartment Stocking

Since I have never lived in an apartment before, I do not have many of the things considered standard to living a life in the “real world.”  Because my dorm rooms have come furnished for my four years while living on campus, the only things I have are twin sheets, a comforter and little knick-knacks that I have needed throughout the years.  I now have to look into getting everything from a bed to a desk.  Thankfully, we have some stuff in our attic that I think I can use as far as a sitting chair and coffee table go, but I am having to ask around about the other stuff.  A friend of mine has offered me her sofa because both she and her roommate have one so hers is just sitting in storage.  I think I will just take my bed from my house as long as that is okay with my parents.  We have a bed in our guest room of our house that I could sleep in when I come home.  I suppose I will need to budget for a few things like a toaster and desk chair, not to mention the bigger things.  At least I have realized that now instead of it hitting me hard later.
