Hehe, yeah get DSL. And some Cat5, and a router and switch, and long picnic tables so you can have LAN parties.
When I got my apartment I got cats. Cats are cool. Stupid, but cool.
Cash good too. Don't get a nice stereo unless you have nice neighbors. I have a mom below me that complains that she can't hear the phone when I watch DVDs. Dogs are a big no. No to dogs, they need space.
Get food. Ramen good, very good. And cooking stuff. Frying pan and microwave are musts. Get a good supply of alcohol, can never have too much alcohol.
If you need convenience get everything on rollers. Dressers, TV carts, computer desk. Makes getting to stuff a lot easier. And get stuff to organize your closet, overclock the space you got. Go to Walmart.
Ok, those are my apartment suggestions. Good luck.
