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!

    I like plants—any specific recommendations?

      Sansevieria/snake plant won't die if you don't water it (well it will eventually), it'll just stop growing and wait for water. It's a good first step.

      Might be better to get a handful of things, remember to water it all just once a week and it should work out ok.

      Others have mentioned Sansevieria and pothos, I'd add spider plants (chlorophytum comosum) are very low maintenance and you can probably get a baby for free from somebody who has a mother plant. Also ZZ plants (zamioculcas zamifolia) because they don't require much light and can go longer without watering so their placement can be more flexible.
