I’m Left Unsupervised

The idea of becoming an adult is very scary. Not just for me but for most of my generation. At the age of 23, I will be leaving the house I grew up in and finally becoming an adult. (Who let this happen?) Some of you may be thinking, “Wait, you’re leaving home now?” I’ve moved out of my house before; when I went to college, when I went to Ecuador… but this move is different. I’ll still be leaving some things behind at the house but for the most part I’ll be taking everything with me. And what I don’t I’ll either try to sell it, donate it, or hide it in my sister’s room. This is the real move and this is when my budget changes.

When I was in school my parents wanted me to focus on classes so they helped me a lot financially. After I graduated I moved home again and everything was still taken care of. I do have a job and I’m pretty good with my money but I’ve never had to really budget it before. So this is where we are. I’m about to change my life and my lifestyle from champagne to beer and find a way to still have it all. Through this wonderful thing called “the internet”, you (if there really is a “you” if not I’m just talking to myself) will read about my attempts to make it in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., watch me fail at DYI crafts and Pinterest food, hear about my past, current and future romantic blunders, and see me try to make sense of things I have never fully understood. I hope that writing all of my thoughts, and putting my ideas out there I will better understand the world we live in. Alright, here we go. Cheers!
