Good Byes.

Well, today I finished cleaning out the old Fancy Place. Monday, I'll turn in the keys, and Tuesday someone else will be moving in. I'm going to miss that place. So in honor of the Fancy Place and my first apartment, I hereby present a list of things that the Fancy Place has thought me/random memories.



  • TV stands from Target are a two day building project. 
  • If don't have a hammer handy, a Lutheran Study Bible will work just as well.
  • 20$ bed frames from Amazon.com are dangerous and will be break in a matter of weeks.
  • The best place to build snow people is on the balcony. 
  • If you throw muffins on Corrie's balcony in the Winter, she will find them in the Spring. 
  • Getting trashed the night before working a morning track meet or speech/debate meet is never a good idea. However, that doesn't mean you won't make the same mistake next time. 
  • That being said, track meets and speech/debate meets are never the same if your not hungover. 
  • If you drink while doing a drama project, you'll get an A. However, it doesn't work with Education projects. 
  • Theres nothing wrong with a glass of wine, before dealing with middle schoolers. 
  • When moving in. Always except help from the hot neighbors. 
  • Culver's ketchup cups make for great jello shot holders.  
  • Kelsey does not have the power to jump off the balcony and climb back on.
  • DDR Country Music is only fun if Rachel wins. 
  • Sometimes, you have to live with a crappy living room for 4months, before you realize theirs a better way to arrange furniture. 
  • Netflix > Cable. 
  • People will come to your apartment to simply steal your internet. Including your neighbors. 
  • If you get scared at night. You can bang on the wall and Corrie will reassure you that she's right on the other side. 
  • Balconies are the best place to bitch about life and people you don't like. 
  • By the end of the night, the yard underneath the balcony will be covered with sunflower seeds.
  • Don't forget to water the planets outside with WATER. Rum and coke does not keep them alive. 
  • Margarita Mondays <3. 
  • If your planning to trash Tasha's office for her Birthday, don't blow the balloons up at the apartment. You'll have to carry them down the stairs in trash bags and find a way to fit them all in the car. 
  • That being said, paper chains are never good ideas when your bored. They just keep getting longer and longer. 
  • And to go along with that, always give Tasha the nice chain, because she gets more excited. Corrie can get the shitty left overs, since she's pretty easy to please :) 
  • When in doubt, barrow a shot glass from Corrie and tell her your doing shots of water. 
  • The sofa isn't big enough for sleeping on. Use the floor. 
  • Nothing says WELCOME TO CONCORDIA, they convincing the new volleyball coach that he lives across the hall from 2 boys and a girl, in a one bedroom apartment. 
  • The Michigangers are always welcomed, and there is always room for them (somewhere).
  • I do have a walk in closet, and we can fit four people in fit, with coats. 
  • It is possible to shove Rachel into the bathroom closet, and it hurts. 
  • Coming back from Theatre Study Tour, and saying "WHO THE F DRANK MY WINE WHILE I WAS GONE!"..... I never do remember drinking that bottle of wine. 
  • Nobody watches movies on movie nights. 
  • The boys feel manly when you let them make you food on the grill. 
  • Don't give your neighbors a fish for their birthday. You'll just end up caring for a hobo fish. 
  • Don't forget to check in! 


Nick, Kelsey, Nate, and Corrie, I except you help me continue the list, so I can add too it :) 




RIP: The Fancy Place! :(
