Jordin Sparks's First Apartment Was a Real Lesson in Adulting — My First Apartment

Welcome to My First Apartment! Whether it's your first studio, a four-bedroom deep in the city shared with a handful of roommates, or even an entire house (lucky you!), there's something special about moving into the first place that's truly your own. In this series, we'll showcase actors, artists, entrepreneurs, and beyond—asking them to revisit that oh-so-sweet nostalgia of newly-found freedom.

When you win American Idol at 17, your life tends to accelerate in a way you never imagined: You're releasing albums, headlining tours, and singing at the president's inauguration—all before you turn 21. Yes, this was the case for Jordin Sparks, who also experienced a Millennial milestone before many others her age: renting her first apartment. Sparks moved into her first apartment in Manhattan back in 2010 (when she was just 20), while she was starring in "In The Heights" on Broadway.

"My first apartment wasn't a crappy little apartment," Sparks told me as we chatted after a workout class at AKT in New York City in partnership with Febreze as part of their #FebrezeYourGear campaign. But just because it was more luxe than most 20-year-olds, doesn't mean she still didn't have the typical "adulting" faux pas—it was still a total learning experience.
