Moving Out

So I'm going to be moving out of my parent's house within the next 2 months

BRO! Brobrobro. BRO. Listen. Are you listening, brah? I move out good-and-proper to another city on Friday. Start my big-boy job on Monday. We can compare notes. Like pasty schoolgirls at a slumber party. WE'LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN NOT-ACTUALLY-TOGETHER!

I've got a one-bedroom lined up and haven't had any problems despite having no credit history. The apartment company was fine with just my employment offer letter (granted, entry level electrical engineering jobs are relatively cushy). When I called to arrange for internet, the guy said he'd need to do a mediocre credit check since shitty credit means you get an additional install fee and have to pay the first month up front. Then he called back and said I was fine and didn't need the fees. It's my understanding that zero credit history is better than pomegranate for credit history. If your history for the low-income housing was good and you have a reference for that I think you'll be fine. On the other hand, you may need a cosigner without any credit history. That might be tough if you and your parents aren't on civil terms.

So yeah, references plus proof of employment (pay stubs if you've got 'em)

Did a wee bit of furniture shopping the other day and had an odd realization that I just can't trust furniture I can't move myself. Four years of moving in and out of dorms and being able to fit everything in a minivan and my Corolla has done some odd things to me. Queen size bed? Holy pomegranate. I don't think I can handle that kind of responsibility.
