EHO park25@petersoncompanies.com editor's note You've found your perfect apartment, decided on your roommates and decked out your apartment with all kinds decorations. But what do you do once you move in and have to deal with the challenges of living on your own? When I moved into my first apartment before my junior year, I was happy I didn't have to live in the dorms. I finally didn't have to share a bedroom and deal with all the annoying things that come with living in residence halls. However, living in an apartment brought on the challenge of truly living on my own for the first time. I found myself having to make sure all my bills were paid on time, cooking my own pasta dinners and trying to keep the apartment clean, which my roommates made hard. The point is that making the jump to living in your first apartment can turn your life upside down. Sometimes, people don't realize how much life can change when they live on your own. My co-workers and I hope that with this apartment guide, you are well-prepared for and can easily adjust to apartment living, so that you can stress out about something else, like homework. spring 2008 kansan staff Editor Managing editors Special sections editor Design chief Copy chief Designer Photo editor Advertising director Sales manager Advertising layout General manager, news adviser Sales and marketing adviser Darla Slipke Matt Erickson Dianne Smith Matt Lindberg Kevin Grunwald Kaitlyn Syring Kelsey Hayes Mindy Ricketts Toni Bergquist Katy Pitt Austin Fallley Malcolm Gibson Jon Schlitt Kansan Newsroom Kansan Newsroom 111 Stuffer-Film Flat 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 (785) 684-4810 et cetera The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.
