The 23rd can't come soon enough

I'm getting really sick and tired of being told what to do. I want to do what I want to do and when I want to do it. I don't want to be forced out into the heat to exercise (this will hopefully be remedied when I move at even if it's not quite as cool up there right now, the temp should start dropping sooner), I don't want to clean up messes that I didn't create, and I don't want to be hijacked into projects that don't impact me (I'm only going to be in this house for less than two weeks now, why should I care what color the master bathroom is?)

I don't want to have to listen to the same constant complaints that never change from night to night, I don't want to have to listen to you complain to me about the lack of hours at my current job because, yes, I do want the hours and I HAVE done everything I could to remedy this! I can't force my managers to give me something nor can I quit until my last day because I do like having some sort of income, and it's not my fault none of the other places contacted me back this summer. THIS IS WHY IT SUCKS TO WORK SUMMER JOBS IN A COLLEGE TOWN!! I CANNOT CHANGE THIS!!!!!!!! Oh, and telling me to do something (make a calendar/budget that I probably won't use in the first place) and then not following up on it after I show it to you? Yeah, that sucks as well.

I will gladly inform you of what my plans are, run errands, fill up the gas tank, keep my room clean (and for once in my life I'm succeeding at this more successfully than my brother), cook dinner, clean up afterwards, do my own laundry, and help out with bits of the previously mentioned projects when it's something one or two people can't just pull off by themselves. I'm not entirely a selfish bitch mooching off of her parents, and I gladly appreciate the fact that you both are willing to keep me on your insurance until I get my own; I'm just sick and tired of being told what to do and when to do it instead of being allowed to do my own thing like a normal adult, and being roped into things that I have no interest in (dragging me out of the house to take me grocery shopping for just a few little things? REALLY? I'm all for things that get me out of the house but at least make it something where I'm not just following you around with a blank expression on my face). Long story short: I don't like feeling like free labor.

I can't help but think they should be grateful that this truly rebellious attitude didn't start in my teen years like it does for a lot of others.
