“Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh, nevermind, you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.””

Rule No. 47: Learn How to Beat the Apartment Complex

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:00:00 -0500

Sub-rules:

1. Keep copies of everything. Leases, attachments, emails, gum wrappers. EVERYTHING!

2.Always read your lease and know exactly what it says before you sign it.

3. Before you move one piece of furniture into the apartment. Fill out the checklist that says what was dirty or damaged when you moved in (carpet stains, holes in the wall, etc.) and take it straight to the office and get the name of the person you handed it to.

4. Clean the apartment thoroughly before moving out and take pictures when you’re done.

5. Demand your entire deposit back. Do not waiver from this demand. Apartment complexes are like terrorists. You cannot negotiate with them, and if you show weakness they will destroy you.

Rule No. 46: Pay your parking tickets

“You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look
through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.”

- Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
