Answer 2

When I first left home and went out on my own I was really excited but at the same time just a little bit lonley.  I bought 6 matching picture frames to match my decor and filled them with pics of my favorite family moments.  Since I could always look up and be reminded of all the people who loved me, it took the edge off of my feelings almost instantly.  And they will feel good too when they visit and see them selves in your new apartment  Good luck!

Answer 3

rug for the entry way, toilet paper, food, storage containers for left overs, pots and pans, microwave(?), vacuum, cleaning supplies, laundry basket, tv/ dvd player, computer, bedding. What I would suggest is buying the basics and just having start living there and see what else comes up. Don't over buy... when I first moved out I bought all kinds of things that I hardly ever used (like a blender and cake and pie pans).
