With the recession being what it is, the current state of unemployment, and the rising cost of living, one thing I have worried about in this time of my life is having to move back home after graduation. This is probably rather premature, especially since I have at least one more year at college and haven't even moved out yet, but it is something I wouldn't want to do. I long for independence and freedom and moving back home would be so hard. My family is big, and loving, but I like having my own space. I like having people around, but I prefer to do my own thing and not have to answer a thousand questions every single time I go out with friends!
I suppose it could be seen as very ungrateful to be this way but this is the 30 Days of Truth Challenge. Don't think I don't love my family or anything. I just need to move on. I am living in the same house I've been in since I turned three, the same room since I was sixteen, the same job since I was seventeen. I used to hate change, now I'm more receptive to it. But, I don't say anything because everyone FREAKS OUT when I change my mind. I know they kid, but really? Is SUCH a production needed when I just say I want to try a different breakfast cereal?! Sheesh!
Part of the problem also might stem from the fact that I am twenty-two, and still living at home playing the same role I did when I was a child. Granted, I do have a job, something those pesky child-labor laws prevented me from getting earlier. I know that of all the horrible things that could happen when I finally leave home, having to temporarily return would hardly be the worst. Just so long as it was temporary.
Also I hate potatoes.
