The Way I See It...New Kid On the Block.

Hey y'all. So I'm pretty new to this. A friend of mine commented on how, if I aspire to be a serious journalist, I should try out blogging. So here I am.

I just moved into this great apartment. I got away from home (first year of college coming up and all that), and couldn't be more excited about it. I had visited the apartment before moving; I loved it! A friend of mine was living there, so I figured it would be a great place for me to get into. I was so ecstatic to move in, to be on my own, to start living like an adult. So anyway, I get to the place, and I'm so excited. I walk in and BAM! It's a mess!! And not like the "oh I'm so sorry the place is a mess; I didn't have time to clean" kind of dirty. No. This is like "I've never even tried dusting or mopping or sweeping or anything remotely related to cleaning" dirty. With four girls living in a four-bed/two bath apartment, you'd think the chances of at least one of them having a sense of hygiene would be pretty high. You'd be wrong. I spent three days cleaning the bathroom! And believe you me, it's not a large bathroom.

So I guess my question is this: should previous tenants clean up for their successors? Or should the new kid on the block fend (and clean) for herself?
