Picture 1 and 2: my outfit. Thrifted the skirt and the white shirt. The two headed bear is from taobao.
Picture 3: I got a little stone frog from the crysgal shop near my house. He came with me to the coffee shop for brunch.
Picture 4: I pulled up the carpet in the hallway so now my lorge cat pics will be on crusty wood floors instead of gross crusty carpet.
Picture 5 and 6: I had a metal basket with hooks on my closet door but I've moved it above my bed because I'm keeping that space in my room much more tidy, so it's now the only hindersnce to me using my closet. The space feels so much better now.
Picture 7: installed another hook in my ceiling for my paper lantern. I love cute lighting.
Not pictured: painted part of my kitchen pink. Hung a mirror (mirror frame still needs painted) installed a hook to hold my ring light. Installed a lot of hooks to hold all of my earrings and necklaces on an IKEA shelf because my jewelry box is cluttered so I never use it. Also finally fixed the downstairs toilet.

What happens when you say "DAMN ITS COLD!" through the years.
Kid: Tell parent, house magically gets warmer.
Teen: Tell parent, parent tells you to put on more clothes, learn how to use the thermostat.
College students: Tell to the cosmos, get no answer, bundle up and wait for campus to turn on the heat.
Post Graduate Broke Ass Tenant 1: Tell landlord, they tell you tough shit, because they aint turning it on until they legally have to. Proceed to repeat routine of college dorm life and stuff windows with produce plastic bags. It's not pretty but it works hella well.
Broke Ass Tenant 2: Wait it out, then tell landlord its too hot, they tell you tough shit, so you are living in desert heat in winter then get blasted by winter when you step outside.
Broke Ass Tenant 3: Stare at the thermostat that you do not know how to work and wondering if it actually works or not. It doesn't really work well so you squirrel away the bubble wrap from work and bubble wrap your windows. Works better if you also stuff your windows with plastic produce bags. Also learn that switching your ceiling fan direction is also a thing.
Home ownership: .........................getting anxiety about reading how to winterwize a home, so you resort all the things above except buying 1 window kit to "try it out" and doubting that it will work better than your plastic produce bag-bubble wrap trick. Its prettier......questions if the plastic for the windows reusable for next year, because the bubble wrap is. Wonders if a shower curtain will work better. Wonders if you just buy greenhouse plastic. Realise all this thinking means your windows are not insulated well and none of your ceiling fans have a proper switch to change directions! Wishing you could go back to broke ass tenant, but then realize you are still a broke ass tenant and the bank is basically the landlord and they wont answer your calls.
