Why not stay till you have your degree. Save all your money. If you live in dad’s house then surely he is looking after you. Then when you get your degree with a good bank account I am sure you will be able to get a loan from a financial corp settle into a good job and pay back your debt.

The more you think about getting out the more unhappy you will be. Get your head right and make everyday special.

Once you move out and start paying for all your own bills, food, clothes, etc., life gets harder. Take the help while you are able to get it. If you moved, you wouldn’t have time to do all the things you want to anyway, what with the school stuff and the job. Maybe try looking at living there as a gift instead of a punishment; one day you just might wish you could be back there.

There is nothing wrong with that. In the long run you will be money ahead.

Sunshine,

I also have a sunshine a third year student. We struggle and we do not always have the money to buy what she needs. She does not have a car and with time she also realized that not all things are possible.

So walking to University each day +- 8 kilos and to town it’s about 13 km. But she is happy and content. You see love and understanding makes the world go round.
She is the most wonderful child and I often wonder what have I ever done to deserve a daughter like her.

She’s doing well only because she is studying hard. I am so proud of her. Many times when she was growing up we had no food to eat and grandma would help. The only way we got through this was accepting and through the tears there is always, “the we have each other” and tomorrow.
Be happy please you are going to be a great sucsess!!! I know you will. Just hang in there. I live 619 kilos away from my sunshine and miss her terribly but the future is bright and her degree year will be next year. If we can do it you can do it to!! I know you can!!

Much love and I believe in you and I am sure so does your daddy!!
:)

okay it’s not that i’m just living at home that’s bothering me. it’s the fact that i live 30 minutes away from campus and i have to commute two hours a day in order to get back and forth from school. so i want to move to minneapolis where the campus is in order to be able to be a part of campus life more and be among people my age. the money i spend on gas right now could be used for an apartment as i could bike back and forth from campus or take the bus rather than drive. so it would all even out. it’s just i need resources for finding this apartment and these roommates. thanks for all the encouragement though. i do truly appreciate all these kind words.
another reason for wanting to move out is for the longest time i’ve been a closed off person focusing on my studies and ignoring building a social life and i am craving this. i want to build more friendships and i’ve also met a guy on campus so it’s a bit hard to see him because of my living situation. This may sound a little like I’m abandoning my studies a bit, but it’s not that at all. I’m getting A’s in my classes and I believe this is an important step in the growth of myself.
my dad’s great for the most part, but he’s a bit controlling. i won’t elaborate much on this for it’s a long story between the two of us. we’ve gone through many hard times together. we support eachother but we disagree on things many a time.
life is good. this is not me trying to escape something. this is me trying to expand my world and my confidence in my ability to do something on my own.
