being grown up
so as of march 18th i will have been out of my parents' house and living on my own for 6 months. i think this milestone deserves commenting on. so in the past 6 months i have discovered being grownup sucks and totally rocks at the same time. i never have enough money despite the fact im mkaing almost 4 times more out here than i was when i lived with my parents. yay for rent and groceries and bills!! though... my parents now give me money if i need it, unlike when i was living withthem and they laughed if i asked. moving out has also proved how between me and my 18 year old sister who the "good child" is, which is a title that comes with perks. being grownup also means i can do whatever i want without my parents being able to do anything (not that im going to do anything stupid, illegal or wrong). but then i do have to be an adult and take care of everything by myslef.. i have discovered how much i truly hate cleaning house and grocery shopping. but now it's my house (or apartment whatever) and not theirs and if their visitng i can tell them they cant come over. im also much more calm most of the time considering i get more alone time (people who know me understand how i like peace and quiet and alone time). all together being grownup is pretty awesome. most of my problems with be fixed as soon as i get a real job and whatnot but life is good
