Finally On My Own

School next fall isn't what I'm really nervous about, its the whole "being on you own"is whats kinda freaking me out. Yeah, I am excited to move out and start a new life in my apartment but I'm a little scared. I'm about to take on even more responsibilities that I've never had to worry about before. Responsibilities like buying my own groceries, paying my own bills, and not having my parents to rely on. 

The hardest responsibility that I will have a hard time getting use to is not having my parents to rely on. My parents do so much for me on a daily basis like make sure I actually get up to my alarm, remind me when I have doctor appointments, and constantly telling me to not put off my homework until the last minute. 

What if I don’t wake up to my alarm or shut it off and don’t wake up in time for class? What if I forget to go to my appointments? What if I don’t end up having the self discipline I thought I had? These responsibilities are all very important and I want to be able to show my parents that I am very capable of living on my own and can take on what obstacles I will have to face on my own.

Although, I’m excited to move out, it doesn’t mean that I am going to cut my parents off completely. They’re my parents. Obviously, I’m still going to go to them for certain things and go home every once in a while, but this is just a chance to prove to them that I am capable of living on my own and able to make responsible decisions with out them.
