I need advice. This is my *first* place of my own. I've lived in residence at my university for 3 years, all year ... before that I lived at home.

This is my first time by myself. First time paying my own bills and keeping my own apartment clean...

Okay, it's a bachelor apartment. I know it's expensive, but I like it.

What is stuff I should buy/bring/find to furnish the room? It has an alcove for a bed, so my bed is going there. Any tips for the newbie? What are some things I *can't* forget? What should I consider? What are my rights as a tenant? How do deal with my neighbours?

Ack! I'm probably freaking out for no reason, but still!
