Alone
Being independent is one of my most wanted and scariest dreams. Once I turn eighteen, I graduate, go to college, live on my own, and rely on myself only, instead of my mom. I’ll have to learn how to pay bills, do my taxes, and all the adult stuff, which does not sound fun at all. Adult life and being independent sounds extremely stressful, and I’m already stressed enough living with my mom and almost starting my senior year of high school, so I can’t even imagine how stressed I’ll get when I have to start college applications, and eventually graduate.
It’s even more scary when I have no clue what to go to college for, and the one thing I find that I want to do, people tell me it will be years of schooling and I’ll have to work extremely hard to get to where I want to be. Usually I wouldn’t listen to people who tell me to give up on my career choices, but I’m not a very motivated person, so it stresses me out that I feel like I can’t work hard enough to do the job I’ll most likely be doing for the rest of my life. I’d definitely like to try though, rather than taking an easy career path and do something I wouldn’t enjoy doing.
Other than the adult stuff being a stressor for becoming independent, living on my own sounds exciting. I’ll be able to do whatever I want, and not have to worry about my mom nagging me about my grades or what I’m doing 24/7. I can go out whenever I want and not have a curfew, or have to ask anyone before I go. I can make my own schedule with the classes I choose in college, and decorate my home however I’d like. In my opinion, I think all these positives can weigh out the negatives easily.
