Title: Living on your own
Post by: Samus Aran on February 26, 2008, 02:14:13 AM
The prospect scares me. I don't really consider college living on my own since so much is still given to me, particularly finances.

I don't feel that I'm ready at all to move into the adult world. I feel like I've always had everything done for me. I can't even imagine keeping a steady job and doing my taxes and boring adult shit like that.

How about you guys? Are you capable of being an American adult yet?  doodella;

As soon as I saw him post, I wanted to come in here and edit my original post and take out "American," but the wonderful SMF connection errors stalled me, and now I don't even care.

I'm moving out during the summer when I turn 19, and then a year later I go to University Park. Living on your own sounds nice and all, and has it's good points but it's not all that easy to sustain.

Not a chance. Thinking about the fact that I only have a few years to decide what I'm going to do for the rest of my life scares me. >.<

Same here. The counselors keep telling us we only have a short time, decide a career NOW pick a college NOW. It's stressful. I don't even know what college I want to attend. :(

I'm not ready to work yet, I'm not even entirely sure what I want to do yet (well, I'd want something with computers for sure, but there's so many jobs under that category) >.<

...for almost every other aspect of living by myself, I might be more ready than my mom is.

I think I could manage it, but I am not mentally ready to be self sufficient.

Well, it isn't too fun for me to think about right now, but I'm not worried about feeling rushed to grow up. My sister is almost 20 and lives in my mom's basement. doodthing;
