Are you in the process of moving out on your own? Do you remember when you made the move for the very first time? Well, I just recently moved into my own place and I am still going crazy with the moving process.

Although I have never been on my own before now, there are a few items that I knew I had to have at my apartment that I just couldn't go without. They are essential to my every day life, as well as the well being of others.

First and most importantly, I must have a coffee pot. I am not a pleasant person in the morning without at least one cup of coffee and I will not be a pleasant person all day. I've been titled 'grouch' without my cup of morning coffee.

The next essential would be my magnalite pot. I love to cook and would be lost without it.

With that being said, I will need my rice cooker as well.

As an avid wine drinker, a wine bottle opener is a must have. I don't drink box wine so there is no escaping the need.

I think that all of the other usual necessities speak for themselves. I am a diva when it comes to my clothes and shoes. I am also in the process of making the apartment feel more like home. I like decorating and having everything in its place.

I know that right now there are a ton of college students moving away from home and finding places of their own. I didn't move out in college, but moving now is just as scary. The transition can be tough, but it is most definitely a beautiful journey if you allow it to be.

Good luck Dawgs!
