So as many of you guys know, I am making the big cross country move from L.

A to New York City baby thing.

This literally like tomorrow.

I'm literally in the middle of it right now.

This is so weird, because for so long, I've been like, Oh, I'm all moving to New York someday, and it's literally like, now now is the booth.

Earlier this morning, the movers already came to pick up all the furniture and bringing with me to New York, which, unfortunately, is not that much of it, because I'm assuming my place in New York is gonna be much smaller.

S o.

I didn't want to over pack.

And even earlier this morning, I was still wide awake editing my video.

So right now, I have not slept for like, 36 hours.

I'm coming off until later.

So if my brain is a little bit absent at times, you know why?

Anyways, I have about 24 hours before I fly out to New York tomorrow, basically of my college education taught me anything.

It is that I can just barely get away with doing things extremely last minute, and thus I have been doing things extremely last minute, pretty much my entire wife, including this move.

So yeah, active everything like two hours.

It's been a bit chaotic right now.

I have about 24 hours before I fly out to New York, which means I have 24 hours to reset this apartment to its original state so that I don't lose my security deposit.

Now, A lot of you guys were asking whether I would be able to leave the wallpaper up for the next tenant, and unfortunately, I was not able to find another person to take over this apartment who wanted the wallpaper?

I actually have a goal stopping by tonight.

Who was a friend of someday went to film school with, but she requested that I take down the wallpaper because he doesn't like it, so hopefully she will take over the apartment once it's all reset to the original.

So let's just get started tearing my baby to shreds.

Not my human baby.

Don't do cannibalism, kids.

This is so weird about this wallpaper last month.

Also, please don't judge my choice of half a meter right now.

This morning I wanted to have the comfort of pajamas but the illusion of productivity.

And I recently discovered that athlete is specifically made for that purpose.

Anyways, these wallpaper is supposed to get removable emphasis on supposed to be.

So we're gonna find out today.

If it's not, I'm literally fucked because I fly out tomorrow basically a special type of wallpaper where you have to paste, Are my nickels visible?

Maybe a little bit.

It's basically a special type of paper that you pay still the wall.

But you're supposed to be able to just tearing off strips.

So I guess let's try it.

I just like for cross stating doing this because I don't want to take it down.

I think it looks so good.

Do it for the deposit babies.

Oh, okay.

It really does come off, Theo.

Wall isn't even sticky behind it or anything.

What is this wizardry?

You also I thought this was gonna take me all day.

It's gonna take me like, 10 minutes.

This is actually the ultimate form of peel.

I've decided simply geological simply wallpaper logical, faster expression.

The only thing that I still have to cover up is these two little pencil lines I drew on the wall.

I basically had to use the levels to make sure that the wallpaper was completely vertical.

So I would just use like a razor for that.

Okay, No painters now, normally, when you're painting over the wall of a rented space you want actually take a chip off the wall about the size of 1/4 and bring it home Bebo or your local paint store, and they have a machine that will exactly match that color for you so that when you patch over areas, it looks completely seamless.

I didn't make the mistake last year with my old apartment of trying to match the colors by eye and 50 shades of grey, more like 50 fucking 1000 shades of white.

There are so many different change of white.

So I ended up caving and doing good old paint.

It mended, and on my third campaign, I finally got the right color.

But for this apartment, I don't really have the time to get an exact paint match, and I have a lot less to cover up my last apartment.

So I think I could get away with one of the three white paints that I have.

I just gonna test out all of them on the wall and see which one is the best contestant.

Number one.

Joey Star quarterback of Calm Down.

He's now hit home runs his accounting firm in New Jersey are next conducted Bill, A recent divorce.

A.

Is looking for a second chance at love.

Will he find it on these walls last?

We have 7013.

I really finished.

It's a fucking can of paint, Ashley.

I know you're lonely, but maybe if you actually went outside, instead of spending three hours adding together a montage of paint cans, you'd actually have friends.

Those are our contestants.

Which ones will be a perfect match?

Most of you guys know this is actually not a bedroom at all.

This is a closet that I converted into a bedroom because it perfectly just fits a full sized bed.

So I have to convert it back into a closet.

I have to take down all the well paper and then put up the shelves and the clothing rack that was originally here.

Let's take her down.

A lot of the rest of my apartment has definitely felt like work.

It's felt like a set for me toe make out the videos in and this has been a place like maybe felt like my This is the last piece of old paper.

It's timely.

It's time we find it's finally time.

Thio reinstall the shelf I have been storing here behind the refrigerator, and then I've been keeping the bar over here.

Feel a Gandalf?

No way closet once and for all.

Okay, it is time now, as you can see by this very ominous black window that now has no curtains.

I am dressed a little differently because I am going on a date on literally my last night, you know, because now the bed's gone.

You girls gotta sleep somewhere.

And also this guy's anyways, well, wait in my day to arrive.

I am going to start taking down all the little screws that we're holding up paintings, hooks that are holding up my plants to patch over any small holes.

Amusing drywall Stack Jesus, which is like a party that dries to look like a regular wall.

You can use any bendy plastic service like an old gift card or the back of the lotion.

bottle like I'm using here to smooch the spackle into the hole.

Don't worry.

If it isn't perfectly smooth, you could always go back with a little bit of sandpaper to give it.

Finally, grab a recent divorce.

I can, I mean, a canopy that matches your walls So everything blends together seamlessly and your landlord will be none the wiser.

I forgot to watch my brush earlier, so it's like rock are when he takes Viagra.

So today is the day of my flight and more so.

It's about three hours before my flight, So I am wrapping up everything in this apartment as fast as possible.

But first, let's flash back to a couple weeks ago when I moved the contact paper from my kitchen.

Really transition now?

In reality, it was actually around two and 1/2 weeks before I move out, but I did want to get started on the process of taking apart my apartment just because I feel like I'm in this weird limbo right now, where I still in, like, very attached to this apartment here in L.

A.

Because I worked so hard on it.

But I also want to let myself like, be free and be ready to move to New York.

And I feel like something that will help you get out of my head is just appealing this contact paper off and starting to undo some of the changes I did to this apartment and basically make it feel less like home.

I think it would be easier to leave that way.

Stuff like this used to really upset me.

You know, I worked really hard on something, and then I had to take it down or I didn't get to keep it anymore.

But I realize now that's just part of the process of being a young adult.

You work on things and then you move out, you meet people and then you move away like life is a little bit transient and sometimes you have to, except that otherwise you'll just stay stuck in the same place forever.

Just a word from Philosopher Ashley.

Whatever I've been getting really reflective lately because of the move and stuff like that.

Goodbye.

Hoo hoo!

So to give you all some background contact, paper is basically like a giant plastic sticker that I layered over my counters to make them look nice.

It's supposed to be removable, but again, emphasis on was supposed to be.

I was genuinely worried they might never come off, especially around the oven, where things got pretty toasty and, like, potentially might have noted the plastic on Now.

Luckily, I was able to peel it off, although I will say it looks a lot more satisfying in time lapse that it was in real life one time speed.

Basically, it would only peel off in small sections before breaking.

And then I would have cried like lift up another section with my fingernails, and sometimes plastic would poke under my fingernails and made them believe a little bit.

Nevertheless, around three hours appealing later, it looked like a small raccoon had broken into my trash can and the contact paper was officially removed.

But, oh ho ho, our saga does not end there, My friends, even though the actual plastic part was off the counter, still had a layer of sticker residue.

So I had to buy this thing called Goo gone, spray it all over and let it set for around 10 minutes.

Then I also bought there's a goose scraper for lack of a better term online, which especially designed to lift up sticker residue.

I'm deeply sorry if you find this part disgusting.

By the way.

I was also like, super grossed out, but, like, simultaneously turned on by how satisfying it was.

And yeah, that did the trick.

So, overall, I don't regret doing the contact paper.

I think it was cute, but if you want to do it to your own apartment, just set aside like, five hours to remove it to make sure you don't lose your deposit.

In my last couple hours, in a way, I took down my final decorations and patched up.

You could see just how many times I tried to hang this picture.

Okay, I took down my entryway mirror and decorations.

I uninstalled like bathroom, even swapped out my hipster light bulbs for the exact ones.

My apartment.

And finally it was time to donate the furniture that the next tenant didn't want and that I couldn't Honestly, this part may be kind of sad, because the French is really beautiful, but I hope it has a good news.

Yeah.

Why does it look like a serial killer?

Hopeless.

My handwriting has never looked so ominous.

Now probably the number one ask question on my channel of life is, What am I doing with all of my plans when I I didn't really want to bring my plants to New York with me, But the movers said that they would die on the truck, which makes sense because it's like a two day drive across the country.

So I already gave away most of my plans.

To my friends, however, I literally have more plants that I have friends in l.

A.

And even if each of my friends took like 10 plants, there were just too many for them to handle.

So I thought I wanted to give him away to you guys.

I literally have a box here, packed all of my plans into them.

It'll even out on the street and then post on my instagram story where you guys could go and get those way.

Colder wound.

So far, I have grown a lot here, and this is my first apartment by myself.

I remember when I first like I was convinced that this was gonna be my apartment for like making the rest of my life his building is my control.

Times like I could be one of those ladies who still pays 1000 500 department.

So I settled down.

I really thought that I would like, settled down, but this is I get it.

I'll see you in New York.
