What's one thing I can get/do to make my first "adult" apartment a bit nicer? (hexbear.net)

Move in is the next few weeks. I've lived on my "own" (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I'm hopefully moving out for good this time.

Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.

Things I'm already considering:

Drain guard
Bidet
Cold brew coffee maker
Rice cooker
Space heater? I'd like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I'm in
Key for washer/dryer

Things I already have:

Most furniture
Air fryer
Seltzer water thingy
Meal prep containers

General advice is also welcome!

Bidet is god-tier. Get one -- even a cheapo cold only one is good, but if you have a few hundred saved, Costco often has sales on a pretty solid Toto model that's pretty no-fuss. I had a Tushy once, and getting the hot water from the bathroom sink was a pain.

Also, learn how to use drywall anchors for hanging shelves and shit -- you can buy a 4 dollar tube of spackle when you move out and patch any holes yourself.

Sorry you lost your tushy.
