Yeah, that annoying necessity - growing up.
If you are going to be in an apartment and you don't like noise, be picky about getting a top floor, end unit. Apartments have noisy people in them.
Even then, you've got to deal with their cars and their talkie voices...most of them have TVs too...and then there are lawn mowers, garbage trucks, delivery trucks, and repair people. Toilet flushing, washers and dryers, pipes with noisy water in them. People always moving in and out. Lots of activity in apartment complexes.
It's good to learn to deal with those kinds of stresses and it's much easier to deal with them when alcohol isn't involved.
I am much less stressed without alcohol.
