Meme – The First Apartment

Shamelessly stolen from Strong One

1. Where had you moved from?  From the house that I grew up in.

2. Describe your first apartment.   It was a housing complex for the employees at Cedar Point.  Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and one common living room/kitchen.

For TWELVE girls.  It’s amazing we didn’t kill each other.

3. How old were you when you had your apartment?  I was 18.

4. Did you have roommates? I had eleven roommates.

5. What was your place of employment then?  Cedar Point, America’s Rockin’ Roller Coast.  (I still remember the spiel from the ride I worked on!)

6. How were your finances at the time? HAHAHHAHA… Uhm… Yeah.  I made $4.25 an hour and worked 80-100 hours a week.  No overtime.  I lived off of junk food at the Park (which they were kind enough to discount for us), and Ramen.  I saved every penny I made.

7. Tell us about a lover who spent a night there.  Uhm…. Yeah.  No guys spent the night that summer, mostly because I had three roommates in the room with me.

8. Tell us about a band you listened to then.  Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt.  It was the beginning of my country music phase.  I had a radio in my room that could almost pick up my favorite station from home, but no CD player out of fear that someone would steal it while I was at work.

9. How long did you live there and why did you move from there? I lived there during the summer of 1994.  I moved at the end of the summer to start school at BGSU.  There’s a post I should write…  Life in a sorority house.
