given $2500 a month, I'm going to spend around a third, if not slightly less, on an apartment. This gives me a budget of a little over $800 for the apartment plus utilities.
I've decided on the Wellington, an obvious choice given my love of beef, a single bedroom apartment within the Seven Oaks Apartment Complex. The address is
200 Seven Oaks Rd, Durham, NC 27704.
It is 820 sq ft, and it costs $700 a month, utilities included, plus a $250 deposit up front.

Luckily my parents love me, so I got the furniture from my room when I lived there in high school, including a bed, two dressers, and a desk. There are a couple other things like a lamp, bookcase, etc... but the rest I will buy over time with the extra money I save.
Ignoring the amazingly appropriate name, I chose the Wellington as I find it to be a great deal given the price, especially with utilities included such as water, heat, the full washer/dryer set, and electricity. I may live here in five years, I think it would do just fine unless I started deciding to have kids, which definitely is not in my 5 year plan, and at this point I can't think of a reason to leave.
