Moving....
In the past few weeks Ive had to endure one of the most down right horrible, time consuming, body draining, and possibly one of the most primitive human task of survival... Leaving Mommy's house and moving into a place of your own.
This is my first time leaving mothers den to find my own territory to call my own. It all happen so fast, one moment my friends and I are talking about how tired we are of living with are crazy ass parents to the next moment I'm signing a legal document stating that for the next 12 months I'm obligated to pay $450 to live in a two bedroom apartment with two other people. A lot of thoughts have been running through my mind these few weeks: Was this the right thing to do? Can I afford to move out? Will this move affect me in school in a good or bad way? Will I regret this? As you can see I'm a pessimistic with no positive thoughts what so ever. But so far with all my negative thoughts I can honestly say I do like the fact that I'm living on my own now, if I do bring that special lady back to my place (which is highly implausible since rabid dogs are more sociable than me) I don't have to worry about the embarrassment of my mom making an unexpected appearance. I also get to spend more time with friends, which was impossible because of work and school schedule.
Moving is a activity that everyone at some point will experience. I hope a few of my tips help:
• Pack early please don't wait till the last moment to pack. Procrastination is your enemy.
• Give yourself 3 days to move-in most people give themselves that one Saturday to move all their crap. If your moving from one apartment to another don't wait till the day you lease is over with your old place to move into the new place. Try to give yourself time.
• Prepare to get transportation get back in touch with that friend that has a truck
• Big stuff first/ Little later the little stuff you can also cram into your car unless you have a truck
• Friends friends friends prior to moving you treat all the friends you have like they were dying from testicular cancer
• Procrastination is your enemy no explanation needed for that statement
Moving for me was a breeze; one reason was probably because I had nothing really to move but also I stuck to my tips and kicked procrastination right in it's procrastinating balls.
