If you were to look back in my LJ, about... oh.... three years and a couple of months, you would find some VERY exciting entries. Almost all of them would be excited about one thing. See.. after twenty one years (and about three days, but hey, who was counting?) I would FINALLY be moving out of my parents house. Now, this is a big deal for

I loved this! The idea that what we want isn't always what we need, or what we can handle, eludes so many people.

I'm glad you survived that experience. Honestly, it sounds kind of scary. (Smile) Undergrad was tame for me, compared to that.

Nicely done!

[changed_4good]

Haha, yeah, it was certainly an experience. Thank you!

Man, college roommates, huh? Mine was sweet as pie for a couple weeks, then turned on me unexpectedly. Sorry you had to deal with that!

[changed_4good]

Thanks.. you too!

We never know what's going to happen when we take chances and move on in life. I remember how hard it was to start college. I cried the whole first night, as I drifted off to sleep, wanting my Mommy!

[changed_4good]

Haha.... yeah... me too. ;)

I always say that I majored in drinking my first (and only) semester at S---. I went back home, worked for a year, and then put myself through school. I was far more prepared to go when it was my own life, then when it was an expectation of all the adults around me.

psst: there are a few of typos, nothing major, if you want to take another pass.

I like the entry.

Thanks...

Great entry and so easy to relate to. Moving out if something we want so bad and then the first experience is nothing like we really thought it would be.

Yeah... you know, until I read all these comments, I still didn't realize so many people felt the same way, lol.
