Moving Out
Hello fine fellows of TL.
It’s the meatwagon again….
So a while back I blogged about my parents and moving out and all of that shit. Who takes the ramblings of a teenager seriously. The fine fellows of Tl, that’s who. My search begun and after getting the hang of emailing people so that they want you to move in I found a place. As of 30 minutes ago I was accepted and now all the nervousness that I thought I had dealt with is back in semi-force.
Lets take a little break and let me tell you a little bit about the house:
• It will be about 500$ a month to live here. Rent includes high speed wireless internet, free washer and dryer, kitchen and bathroom shared with 3 people.
• One bus from UW, QFC and Safeway 30 minutes to work by bus.
• Pretty cheap overall and the roomates are pretty smart.
Now lets take a look at the cons!
• Gonna have a nice sit down with the fam about moving out
• Living on my own
• Living on my own
• Living on my own
• Living on my own
• Anything else I think that’s it
So anyway ima meet up with him tomorrow morning to give him the deposit. FUUUUUUUCKKKKK!

Anyway I know I can afford moving out, and with my course load at UW I should be fine. Guess it’s a little late to back off now.
Anyway these are quite therapeutic to write.

high speed wireless internet that's all you need! ;P

You're moving in with three other people, so as long as you're somewhat social, you shouldn't have to worry about all that "Living on my own" jazz.
gl hf!

Your cons sound like pro's?
|
Gotta agree with some of the previous posters, your cons are kinda strange in my opinion. Something that is a big con is food. No one will prepare it for you and no one will make sure your fed unlike living with a family where you normally just eat when they eat or at the very least take some scraps/leftovers from the fridge.
But good luck man! Living on your own is a hell of an experience, especially with others.

Aside from the fact that living on your own is awesome and not a con, you said you're sharing the place with three other people so you're not even living alone...

thata boy. internet hi5 comin your way o/
if you didnt sit down with the parents yet, I think you should do it after your deposit is down and lease is signed so they cant pull any crazy person stuff
you did good!! good luck!!!

Ya i'm definetly excited and nervous but I'm pretty sure i found a nice place for myself. also the 500$ includes utilities as well. The only thing i have to pay for is the phone (might be able to bum off my parents) and living expenses. And I guess its true that i won't really be living on my own.
@Hawk: o/ Ya my parents are on a road trip right now and won't be back for another week. If I hadn't found a place to move out to I would have hinted to them that I was thinking about moving out with some friends. I have a feeling my parents will just be really sad when I tell them. Even though there crazy they still wants whats best for me. They also gave me the tools to succeed in life, its just religion T.T

i'm sure they do! i dont doubt that at all actually. im just saying based on what youve said, they are not about exerting their influence to make you do what they view as right. do just in case stuff like have your own bank account and not a custodial one, make sure the lease is signed before you say anything so they cant start pulling on your heart strings and stuff etc etc
and yeah youre living with three other people but youre a college kid living on a budget. such is life. this beats your other options of living a sheltered life at home or possibly being stuck with a weirdo in a shitty small dorm. but for all intents and purposes it is living on your own in the sense that you fuck up it is on your head now. you sound plenty mature enough to handle all the pitfalls of living on your own though. I wouldn't worry!! Congrats again!

u go gurl <3
Yes!! You got accepted, woohoo! It's a bit sad you'll really be moving out on your own, but as far as I can tell, you definitely seem like you have everything together and you'll be able to take care of yourself. Go get it dude! The talk might be pretty awkward, but I guess it has to happen at some point. It's a damn shame you have to move out like this, but maybe you guys can end up on good terms >.<

it was mentioned in your other thread, but i think going out and making it on your own will do a lot to help the relationship, even if initially causes friction
|
Ah very nice. I am moving out in 2 days and am super excited (sounds like you aren't with the cons  ).
Good luck I think you'll like it more then you think.

Nice move dude, you done good.
How many credits are you taking? If you say 12 I'm going to smack you. It better be like at most 7.
Also make sure your bank account is entirely your own. My own parents are pulling the stupid "we'll give you money every month" bullshit because they cosigned the loans. They pay me late almost every month and it's scary when fuckin rent and car insurance late fees are hella expensive. You need to be financially independent.
And yes sign the legal lease before telling them.
Sounds like you'll be fine! Don't have much to worry about. Be friendly with your roommates, but don't be afraid to tell them when something bothers you (not doing dishes, leaving messes, eating your food, etc etc). Gotta keep honest with them! You'll enjoy this change more than you think I'm sure; you'll smack yourself for even considering attending school while staying with the fam fam.

Ah for schooling, I only taking calc 1 at the moment. Might add on a CS class. While 10 credits may seem like a lot initially, I took Calc1 a year and a half ago got a 3.5. However since I have 6 math classes to take, skipping the initial didn't seem like a good idea.

Calc 1 is ten credits all on its own? What is your class schedule and how many credits is each class?

yeah if your parents wanna help, that's fine. don't bank on it though
and i agree about the credits. you should ideally get it up higher eventually since it is def possible to do full time school and work, but it is better to start off low and see what you can handle first.
good post

How much time is each class? You'll be expected to attend the class itself of course. I imagine a 5 credit class will be like 5 hours per week per class. That's 10 hours per week for both classes. You should already be planning to study on your own time at least an equal amount of time. This makes 20 hours a week devoted to your classes, not counting any transportation time to/from classes. Plus, sometimes you have large time gaps between your classes that make it really hard to actually leave the campus and get something done (especially like working). Can you realistically do this?
I've told you from the start to just take one class. You can definitely nail one class while moving out for the first time and working. Then once you do one class you have a good frame of reference, and some stability in the new living environment, to judge what courseload you can take.
So what is your plan? Better be a good one, share it! What is your weekly schedule.
