Move in is the next few weeks. I've lived on my "own" (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I'm hopefully moving out for good this time.

Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.

Things I'm already considering:

  • Drain guard
  • Bidet
  • Cold brew coffee maker
  • Rice cooker
  • Space heater? I'd like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I'm in
  • Key for washer/dryer

Things I already have:

  • Most furniture
  • Air fryer
  • Seltzer water thingy
  • Meal prep containers

General advice is also welcome!

    Cold brew coffee maker

    I just use a French press to make cold brew and it works super well, with the benefit of being able to make hot coffee too.

    A high quality chefs knife is a game changer in the kitchen. You don’t need a whole block of knives or anything, just a good 7-9 inch knife. Also a knife sharpener, I just use a little pull-through one from Amazon and it works well enough. A good sharp knife is so much easier to use and safer than a dull one.

    Bathroom trashcans with lids.

    Bookshelves, books and other things on those shelves
