You fought all through your teenage years to get out of your parents' house, have your own place and be free like them. Being free from your parents is not always so liberating once you find out what they had to go through, what it takes to live on your own, and how long it takes to live comfortably. You should weigh your options carefully before jumping ship.
             Having your own place is a great learning experience. One of the best lessons you could ever get, responsibility, comes from living on your own. At home you have little to no responsibility. Mom and dad always made sure you had what you needed. Your mom is your alarm clock, maid, cook, and calendar. You never had to worry about getting up on time or having clean clothes to put on when you got up. You know mom will have breakfast waiting on you when you get dressed, and she will remind you of all your appointments for the day. Your dad is the bank and "Mr. Fix it" for everything. Dad handles the bills and always has money when you need it. When your car breaks down or your computer crashes, dad drops what he is doing and has you up and running as soon as possible, letting you borrow his car or computer, while yours is broken. You don't have to worry about anything, but you don't feel that you are a member of the real world either. On the other hand, having your own place, you are not only a member, but the president and CEO as well. You get to do it all. At your own place you will have to probably buy two alarm clocks to wake you up and buy Frebreeze to freshen up your dirty clothes. You stumble into the disgusting bathroom to take a shower but can't find a towel that you are brave enough to put against your body. Still half asleep, you need food. Your morning has been pretty rough so far, so you want a good breakfast, maybe eggs instead of your normal poptart. You get your eggs out, crush them open and through them on a plate. For some reason...
