Congrats!! First apartments/leases are always a big step. Of course I have gone "backwards" several times (back to living at home), but it's not always a bad thing. Depends on how you establish your image of independence with your family, because then they'll see you differently no matter where you are living.
Do you need furniture? If so, hit up IKEA if it's nearby... not a bad place for relatively short-term living needs, though I hope you liked Legos as a kid (self-assembly). Of course, garage sales/Craigslist are great for used furniture, too. Have picked up some really quality stuff just poking around at garage sales (a nice oak coffee table for $5, etc).
You'll discover things that you need as you go along...
