Transcript

Greetings, dorm assignment came out. I called the housing people of my college and I was like, yo, I haven't got any update on my housing, like what's going on? And their response was, baby, there is no application. What? So after that, I balled my eyes out. Then my parents gave me three choices. Either stay at home and do community college, after all the many P classes, or get a car so I can commute an hour every day in this economy. Or the last choice being getting an apartment at 17. Me in my head. Baw baw. Is that a blessing in disguise or a terrible disaster? I guess I'll have to follow along to find out. Three days until I move in and today on the apartment series, we're packing our clothes. We're starting in the closet and this is the last thing I wanted to do, but it's probably going to take the longest because I have so many clothes. I should probably go through the ones that I can't fit anymore, but I'm not. I'm gonna start by taking all of them out. My closet in my apartment is pretty big, so I don't have to worry about space, so we can take all of them. I only have this box, so after this box is filled, we'll call it a day. Because I'm not gonna be doing this all day. I'll put my new clothes in there and then we'll call it a day. It closes. My dad is definitely gonna yell at me. Not my problem. Alright guys, we made some progress. We have basically this entire row cleared out and three days to pack everything out. Anyway, I'll see you for part three. I don't know what that's gonna be about. Anyway, make sure you're following because this is gonna be a long series. We haven't even got to the apartment yet. Anyway, thank you so much for watching. Bye.
