W
e have made it almost halfway through our spring
semester, but with snow still covering the ground,
it is hard to believe it is ofcially March. It could
be worse. In a few short weeks we will be enjoying spring
break and celebrating March Madness. Before that
though, we must prepare ourselves for midterms and
our apartments or homes for the week that we will be
spending on a beach somewhere. Use our home safety
checklist to make sure that your apartment is safe while
youre away and our midterm Spotify playlist to stay
focused while memorizing your denitions and nishing
your papers.
With spring break on the horizon, you may nd yourself
cutting back on expenses in order to save for your trip
but this is no reason to neglect your apartment. To
keep your apartment looking spectacular during this
time, check out the few stores that we picked out that
offer cheap dcor deals. We have also found a few DIY
projects that can turn your shabby college apartment
into a creative and stylish space.
After a little apartment revamping, read our tips on
how to throw the perfect basketball watch party. Tickets
for Allen Fieldhouse can be pricey, but having people
over for food and drinks while you watch the game is a
fun and cheap alternative. Check out our easy-to-make
recipes to impress your guests, as well.
Finding the ideal roommates can make any apartment
atmosphere more enticing. Read advice from fellow
University students who spoke out about their
experiences living with friends of the opposite gender.
If living with other students doesn't sound appealing to
you, we have also located six pet-friendly apartments in
Lawrence.
I hope you nd some helpful tips in this Apartment
Guide, whether you are buckling down for midterms,
celebrating March Madness or thinking ahead about
future roommates.

AMENITIES OF OUR
Jayhawks, its that time of year again. Every-
where you look, brackets are flled out, lucky jer-
seys are unburied and homework assignments
are sacrifced. Indeed, March Madness is upon
us.
What better way to celebrate our Jayhawks
than by watching the games? Tis doesnt nec-
essarily mean at Allen Fieldhouse; students can
support the team by watching elsewhere. Tis is
why its important to know how to plan a bas-
ketball watch party. John Singer, a senior from
Wichita, has his basketball watch party all fg-
ured out.
Tere defnitely needs to be a large HD TV
and, of course, plenty of [beverages], Singer
said. If youre hosting a party you should prob-
ably invest in a keg or two and make a quick gro-
cery store run to get essential items like burgers,
brats, chips and salsa or queso.
Singer is all for the idea of watching the game
at a friends place or local bar as long as he is
surrounded by friends and Jayhawk fans. Laila
Tawfk, a senior from Overland Park, thinks that
the best watch parties are the biggest.
Te ideal watch party would be one sur-
rounded by as many KU fans as possible, Taw-
fk said. Te bigger, the better. Obviously, Al-
len Fieldhouse is the most ideal place, but if you
cant make it there, or its an away game, I would
say a sports bar and grill.
Tawfk thinks that a sports bar is the best place
for students to go for a watch party.
Its a perfect atmosphere because youve got
everything you need: the fans, the food, the
drinks and the big screen TVs, Tawfk said. As
far as must-haves for a watch party go, you def-
nitely need to be wearing your lucky KU T-shirt.
Preferably, the same shirt that was worn when
we won the championship in 2008.
So grab your oversized TVs, beverages, food
and friends. Its time to wave the wheat.

Whether you are moving into a new place next
semester or just looking to spruce up your cur-
rent living space, channel your inner HGTV
star and redecorate. But keep in mind, you dont
have to pay top dollar to personalize your Law-
rence home.
Stores such as World Market, Bed Bath and
Beyond and Target are great places to look for
inexpensive and stylish additions to your liv-
ing space. Ranging from frames and curtains to
vases, lamps and other pieces, these stores are
a great place to get started with the decorating
basics. With various pieces usually priced be-
tween 15 and 30 dollars, you can personalize
your home and still manage to stay within a rea-
sonable, college student budget. Try to look for
staple items that can be worked into a variety of
color schemes so that you dont have to repur-
chase in the future.
Hannah Boyd, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., also
recommends checking out Marshalls and T.J.
Maxx.
Tey usually have a lot of really cute design-
er products for discounted prices, Boyd said.
Tey always have Cynthia Rowley home dcor
and its cute and good quality.
Sites, such as Pinterest, can also be a great
source of inspiration when it comes to repur-
posing items or redecorating. Te site reveals all
kinds of tips and ideas for refurbishing. From
using doors as headboards to ladders as shelv-
ing, there are all kinds of tricks for turning ev-
eryday items into functional decorations.
Lawrence is also home to a variety of local
thrif shops and consignment stores, which can
be great sources for unique pieces that will def-
nitely add character to your living space. Make
sure to keep checking back if you dont fnd
anything that catches your eye. Trif stores are
constantly acquiring new merchandise, so dont
get discouraged.
Abbie Wenger, a sophomore from Wichita,
shops at thrif stores to fnd unique pieces for
decorating.
Id say my style is more shabby chic, so thrif
stores are a great place to fnd really cool and
diferent things to decorate with, Wenger said.
I was looking for something to spruce up my
cofee table with, and was able to fnd a bunch
of unique, vintage-looking books to add to my
set up.
So whether its your bedroom, kitchen or living
room, taking the time to personalize your living
space and making it your own can make your
stay in Lawrence even more memorable.

PREPARE YOUR HOME BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR
SPRING BREAK WITH THIS CHECKLIST
___ __ Ask a neighbor or friend to pick up any mail or packages that
will come while you are away.
_____ Shut of all lights. Leaving your outdoor light on an automatic
timer is a good alternative to make it seem like somebody is home.
_____ Unplug all electronics this includes televisions, micro-
waves and beauty appliances.
_____ Lock all doors and windows.
_____ Do not publicize that you will be away on social media.
_____ Store jewelry and all other valuables in a safe hiding place.
_____ Leave your curtains the same way you keep them when youre
home. Noticeable changes can alert criminals nobody is home.
_____ Remove the hidden key. Tis may help your roommates if
they forget a key during the week, but it is too risky for a criminal to
fnd during a week when nobody is home.
_____ Consider investing in an alarm system. If this is too pricey,
trick criminals by placing one of those home alarm signs on your
lawn.

_____ Notify your landlord you will be away. A lot of time the
landlord will occasionally drive by and keep an eye on his or her
property.

College may expand future opportunities, but
it also has a way of limiting time and money,
especially when it comes to decorating living
spaces.
Furnishing apartments and new homes with
the hottest items from Pier 1 and Pottery Barn
seems just a bit out of reach. However, there is
no reason to fret. Students have demonstrated
that decorating can be done afordably and ef-
fectively using a little creativity.
Jessica Tungesvik, a junior from Columbia,
Mo., is a graphic design major with little time
for Pinterest projects. Instead, she took her vinyl
records and displayed them as decorations.
Te graphics on the records are decorative
in themselves so I decided I wanted to display
them, Tungesvik said. I ended up making two
display shelves that are about 5-feet long for 10
of my records to sit on.
Tungesvik bought the supplies at the Com-
mon Shop on campus and was able to make the
two shelves in 45 minutes. In the end it only cost
her $6 for the wood. For those with a little more
time on their hands, planning afordable proj-
ects can be fun. Tessa Littlejohn, a sophomore
from Wichita, was inspired by Pinterest to create
wall decorations from shoebox lids.
I saw on Pinterest how to take old shoebox
lids and cover them with fabric for wall decora-
tions, Littlejohn said. I had plenty of old fabric
and lids so I gave it a shot and it turned out way
cuter than I expected.
Littlejohn was able to take things she already
has in her apartment and turn them into decora-
tions she gets to appreciate every day. Students
who dont already have these items can use their
talents or passions to make something unique
instead. Ian Lally, a senior from Olathe, has been
an artist all his life. Not only is he able to chan-
nel those skills when decorating his home, but
its an enjoyable project rather than a challeng-
ing task.
I paint and that is my preferred type of deco-
ration, Lally said. Depending on the size, a
painting can take anywhere from a few hours to
days or weeks.
Tere is no need to spend half of your pay-
checks on furnishings that you can easily cre-
ate yourself. Youd be surprised by how many
decorative options you already have around the
house. Just take a look around and become in-
spired.

Te idea of living with the opposite sex is not
always something we would immediately vol-
unteer to do. Having co-ed roommates is not
a common occurrence, but how does it work?
Taking the risk and living with someone of the
opposite sex could make or break a relationship
it seems.
Audra Odeh, a senior from Olathe, decided to
give the co-ed roommate concept a try.
I had lived with girls in the past and I love my
girlfriends, but there was always unnecessary
drama, or some of kind problem or issue, Odeh
said. I wasnt into it.
Odeh decided to live with three guys she knew
from high school in a house on Kentucky Street.
I think guys are signifcantly less dramatic
and controlling, Odeh said of her co-ed liv-
ing situation. It was very much a relaxed and
stress-free environment. I learned a lot of dif-
ferent things.
But Odeh wasnt the only one learning new
things. Her roommates Kyle Dewitz and Marlon
Addison, both seniors from Olathe, mentioned
that they learned a lot about the female perspec-
tive from living with her.
She would give me advice on a Friday night
if I was dressed like a homeless man and she
gave me dating advice if I was being a loser. It
was great always having a female perspective
around, Dewitz said.
But there has to be downsides, right? Not ev-
erything can be perfect when your living situa-
tion is the battle of the sexes.
Dewitz reminisces on the difculties of shar-
ing a bathroom with Odeh during the time they
lived together. He said that he felt uncomfort-
able using the bathroom knowing that he shared
it with a woman.
Afer living together for a year, most would
wonder if this living situation had any efects on
their friendship.
I feel like afer living together, Audra is family.
Its like having another sister, Dewitz said.
Addison and Odeh both agreed with Kyle
that the three of them living together defnitely
brought them closer as friends.
Tese three no longer live together, but they
all would recommend living with co-ed room-
mates and said they would in the future if they
were given the opportunity.
It can be a lot of fun and a co-ed roommate
can teach you a lot, Dewitz said.
And if youre having a hard time getting along
with your current co-ed roommates, these three
say that communication is key.
Addison said that whatever the issue is, try to
talk to them because most problems stem from
miscommunication.

Create your own perfect study spot at home
STUDYING
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of the
University libraries and study rooms, many stu-
dents have turned to their apartment desks for
productive studying time. Tis way, they avoid
noise and distractions and can avoid the trek to
the library, especially in harsh weather condi-
tions.
Rachel Rauch, a senior from Fort Worth, Texas,
said that she prefers her make-shif desk, which
is actually a TV tray and a chair, compared to the
libraries on campus.
I just like to be alone, Rauch said. I can have
noise distraction, but not movement distraction.
If I see someone walking Im just like, Where are
you going?
Finding a seat, setting up, chatting with people
you know and then fnally focusing on your text-
book can be a long and time-consuming process
that many students fnd a hassle.
Many University students have found that their
apartments or dorms are a much quieter, more
comfortable and easier to access a place than the
library. Here are a few tips on how to make your
home the best place to study:
1. Pick a secluded spot, a spot with minimum
distractions.
2. Make the space your own. Decorate it with
things that you like to make your space one that
you want to be in. Many students do this with
pictures of friends or family back home. But, re-
member step one. You want it to feel homey and
comfortable, but too many decorations can be
distracting.
3. Give yourself adequate lighting. Make sure
you can see what youre doing.
4. Lastly, give yourself a comfortable chair to
sit in. Youre going to be sitting there for a while,
so it might as well be comfortable.
Cramped libraries and bad weather shouldnt
stop students from studying to achieve academic
success. Instead, revamp your at-home desk into
a great study space to help you achieve great
grades.
ANISSA FRITZ
Apartments can be quieter, more comfortable and easier to access than the library. One way to create a study space is to give yourself adequate lighting.
You might not own your place, but the gear, gadgets, clothes and collectibles
inside it are worth more than you think. And because your landlords
insurance likely doesnt cover your valuables, you should consider renters
insurance that does. Contact your agent to get the right protection for the
stuff that represents the dreams youve worked hard for. Youll be surprised
at how little it costs and even more surprised at how much it protects.
Call today for a competitive renters insurance quote.
Your dream is out there. Go get it. Well protect it.
