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!

Sansevieria/snake plant won't die if you don't water it (well it will eventually), it'll just stop growing and wait for water. It's a good first step.

Might be better to get a handful of things, remember to water it all just once a week and it should work out ok.
