What Are These Bugs?

A bug on a marble countertop.I saw these bugs in my apartment, two on my bathroom counter and one in the kitchen. I am terrified of bugs. Does anyone know what the big one is and the little small ones? Please help, I'm going crazy.

In the first two photos you have a Sawtoothed Grain Beetles. They are a species of stored product pest. Sawtoothed Grain Beetles feed on and destroy dry goods, grains, etc. They usually get into goods when they are in production or on their way to stores or homes.
Throw away infested food, clean the empty shelves with a vacuum.
Store all new food products in tightly sealed containers.
Inspection and cleaning are key steps in eliminating sawtoothed grain beetles. Insecticide application is the final step.

In the second photo you have a Nymph Cockroach (antennae bent). bugguide.net/.../1254067 Nymphs hatch and undergo several molts, growing a little each time they shed their skins.
Use sticky traps.
Remove food spills quickly and keep your sink free of dirty dishes.
Store food in sealed, air-tight containers.
Remove garbage regularly and tie the bag tightly.
Make natural cockroach bait: mix 3 parts boric acid with 1 part powdered sugar (the sugar lures the roaches, while the boric acid kills them). Sprinkle it. Boric acid isnt toxic to people or pets, but it can be irritating so keep it away from counters and places where little fingers and noses can reach.

The two top ones look like beetles. They come in moist areas. Make sure there are no leaks and air your bathroom out after a shower. I would also inform the landlord.
