Moving out?..

[CarpathianMuffin]

I plan on moving out right away after I finish high school. I don't like this town in the slightest, and I have many places that I can stay at.

But I don't see any problem with staying with your parents after you're 18, as long as you're in school. My brother didn't move out until he was 25, after all, and he's doing very well for himself.

I am an unusual case, my mom doesn't want me to move out. I plan on staying at home for a couple years, then transferring to a state college. And after that I'll be living alone.

Friends, women, and drugs whenever you want, being able to walk around in your underwear with no one complaining, and the ability to game for hours on end without any interuption?

Hell, the hardest part about it if deciding if you want your TV in the kitchen near the snacks or in the bathroom near the toilet.

Haha, love it! I'd need to show severe self control, otherwise that's exactly what would happen!

Self control? I havent had that since those burritos i had a week ago.

Oh wait, you mean not related to the bathroom? Oh yeah. I know self control. I mean, i dont drink or smoke! And i clean the pizza off the floor before it attracts roaches.

Living on your own is easy street man. The best part is when your mom still treats you like a baby and she does your laundry for you. Well, when you remember to take it over to her house anyway.

I wish I could move out now. Finances are the only reason I haven't. I just can't support myself right now, as I still need to finish schooling. Once that is done though, I am gone.

When I moved out it was because I started at uni with really short notice, so I had to make dp with what I could carry and get on a train for 24 hours.

Fun times.

At first, living alone* was extreme party time. Take away dinners every night, being able to get completely trashed within my own home without fear of reprimand, no one to nag me about unwashed dishes from last night or being just slightly late for work because the alarm didn't go off, because the alarm wasn't set, because the alarm was in the bath, because that's where alarms should TOTALLY LIVE OMG after your fifth vodka cranberry.

And then adulthood stealthed its way into my life, and I realised I had absolutely no idea things like toilet roll had to actually be bought, from a shop. There are so many things you assume will be instinctual, but aren't. And the first time an appliance breaks, well, it may as well be Armageddon.

However, if you're lucky, your parents will always be on the end of the phone to talk you through what to do when your boiler breaks or your fridge seems lacking in anything with any nutritional content.

*without parents.

Before i moved out i was scared as hell. Never cooked much, never whased clothes and never cleaned. But after i got over the shock i started liking it. Sure it might be hard in the begining but living by yourself is awesome. You can do whatever you want, when you want and no one can stop you.
Enjoy your freedom

I moved out without pressure or even thinking about it really. Rules are as follows:

You first houseshare/flatshare will be shit. It won't be properly clean etc

You will learn to hate living with people you know/are friends with/are your age

You will never have enough food

You will need to learn self motivation

Despite all this, you will enjoy it. Remember when you move from your house into somewhere else, that place wont be your forever home. It won't be a disaster home, but it won't be perfect either, so enjoy what you have and learn from your many mistakes. And make sure you are fully up to scratch on council tax, bills, and local laws, because with out knowing these things, you can get into massive trouble very quickly without even realising it. And NEVER get a credit card, it isn't worth it.

I always feel terrible when I discover people are becoming independent at eighteen. I'm seventeen and I don't know how to deal with anything. I wouldn't know how to go about getting my own place and then making it so I don't die.

It wasn't really my choice to move out, in a way I moved out at 15 when I went to boarding school, and I've been living in the city ever since, since I've never been a country person
