Where do I begin?

There's so much to know, so much to do, and so much to avoid when it comes to apartment living. (This is my brainstorming writing exercise. I'm categorically challenged, so please bear with me). My unlucky experiences and excessive researching has left me knowledgeable. Now, it's a matter of presenting it in an organized, concise, and usable format. I'll present it in chronological order because I think it's important to know where you were to understand where you are and better understand where you're going. While I like that philosophy and mindset, I'm aware that it doesn't completely fit in this scenario. My point is that our past is full of lessons, and self-reflection will remind us of that. The way we live now has a direct link to how we lived before, how we were raised. Consciously and unconsciously these experiences will influence us in the future. In life so many unpredictable events take place that it feels like putting the effort to plan and prepare is a meaningless hassle. I wish there was something I can say or do to change people's minds and encourage them to lead more responsible and conscientious lives. Because I desperately want people to become more responsible, I plan to induce a responsibly-driven how-to guide as much as possible. I'm still young and inexperienced, so other people with more experience will inevitably find my discoveries to be amateur. I'm going based on my experiences, knowledge, and perspective. So, for anyone who's looking for a middle ground, my advice may or may not be helpful. I'll be focusing on apartment living in a one-room rent situation with and without roommates, in-laws, and complexes. I don't have much advice to offer when it comes to dorms.
