Do you remember how you used to love the idea of living
alone, in a flat with a group of friends? Just like in the movies. Well, it is
nothing like that, you do not live all hunky dory, there are times when you
just want to scream. I live with a group of people, and guys out number us
girls. Three to two. There is always a
mess, and they consider themselves to be the Alfa dogs. It is nice, sure, not
having a cur fue, being able to eat what you want. Do what you want and watch what
you want. But living with other people is never easy, there will be fights but
you just need to find a place where you can be alone with your thoughts. Moving
away is hard enough as it is, but when you are surrounded by thoughtless
people, it can be even harder.
Setting up ground rules is very important, if people know
where you draw the line, they will be less likely to cross it. Thus letting you
live a bit happier. I have had a lot of people tell me, that I must not let
anyone take advantage of me, I must not become the maid for everybody and I
must stay true to myself. When you leave home it is important to always stay
true to yourself. I am finally feeling happy and content with how life is
turning out, being alone is not as bad as it seems. Sure you have to fend for
yourself, but most people had to go through the same thing. You have to
remember that most first year University students are going through the same
feelings as you, behind every smiling face is a tear. Most people just don’t
show their emotions very well.
Like most things in life there will always be pro’s and con’s.
What you have to do is make a list, and always look at the pros even if the
con’s list is longer, the pro’s might have more meaning. Having a positive
outlook on life is usually a very healthy way to live. I know that this year is
going to be amazing, but there are going to be some hard times as well. The
important thing is to never give up.
