10 Tips For Living On Your Own

So, you have finally decided to take the plunge and move out on your own! Or maybe it’s just your first time living solo, either way it can be quite an experience to live on your own and learn how to provide for yourself. When starting a new adventure like this, you need to be prepared and make sure you are living the best you can. Check out these 10 tips below for living on your own:

1. Stuck Jar: Use duck tape or an elastic band when you have a jar that just won’t budge.  Either wrap the lid in duck tape and use it to help you open the jar or use an elastic band halfway down on the jar, gripping the band as you turn the lid.
2. Touchy Smoke Alarm: If you have a sensitive smoke alarm and want to cook in peace, throw a shower cap on it to avoid the unwanted noise!
3. Cleaning Routine: Come up with a cleaning routine when you get home at the end of the day, it will be easier to stay motivated and you’ll know exactly what’s coming up next.
4. Fix It:  If you have someone in your life who can walk you through some basic repairs, bring them over! If not do some online research on things like how to unclog a drain or toilet, then you will be totally prepared if it happens.
5. Food: Remember you are only shopping for one person, so you don’t need to be super stocked up on food! Make use of your freezer to store away leftovers or excess food, then if you need a quick meal you’ll have it tucked away.
6. Be Prepared: Living alone means being extra safe when you are at home and out. Make sure your locks are working on both doors and windows and make sure to have a fire extinguisher near by just in case.
7. Keys: Have several keys cut and stored away in case you ever need an extra. Also, leave a key with a trusted friend in case you ever get locked out!
8. Neighbors: Neighbors can be a blessing in disguise. Try and get to know them when you move in as it can help if you ever get stuck in an emergency situation  or if you needed them to watch out for your home while your away.
9. Consider A Pet: A pet can really help chase the blues away if your feeling lonely. Only adopt a pet if your landlord approves and if you’re at home enough to take care of it.
10. Get Creative: Now is the time to try out all the hobbies, activities and decor ideas you have ever wanted to try. Because you are the only critic and you say what goes! Try something new and get creative with your space and how you spend your time.
