You live with your parents still though don't you? How stressful is adult life?

We noticed.

I haven't always lived with my parents if that's what you're insinuating. I was on my own from 21 to 25.

Me too.

Didn't know that sorry. How is it?

part of me wishes i could be in university forever.

If you're on your own, it can be easy if you've got the proper funds and the ability to adapt to change. But it does come with its own share of stresses. Nothing in life is easy. I live at home with my dad now, but I would not have grown up as much as I did if I hadn't left when I was 21. I know so much more now than I did when I was 21.

you guys are lucky. must be nice to have the choice to move out. here, really nobody moves out their parents/family house unless they get married or something like that.

There's definitely a lot to be said about living on your own. Teaches you responsibility. Mind you, losing your parent will do that too. I was amazed to find that bills didn't get paid by magic, and there was a place where food had to be bought!

Obviously, that's a joke. Still, moving out, even for a year, made me knuckle down and be more responsible. When you can't turn to anyone you learn to make it work.

What is the income / rent like there though? I imagine it's much cheaper to move out in your area than it is to move out here. That's my own assumption, I don't mean disrespect. In Seattle especially, it's actually far wiser to stay in your parents place and work a full time job.

Living on your own is pretty great character building. I would've been a lot different if I didn't get kicked out of the dorms and had to pay off my own rent.
