Don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask lots of them until you understand
what you need to do. I have been around people who will take the time to
explain things to me and I appreciate it. Other times someone is rude and
makes me feel like I am an idiot for asking a silly question. When that
happens, I just go elsewhere and find someone else who is willing to be
helpful.

So far as your walls and anchors... I would guess that your walls are
"drywall" and not concrete. It is possible that they are concrete, but not
likely. Try to find out exactly what your inside walls are made of. Ask a
neighbor or your apartment manager. Then come back here and ask a specific
question like "how do I put an anchor in drywall" or "how do I put an
anchor in concrete". There are different methods/tools depending on the
material your wall is made of.
