Move in day on saturday-not so sure anymore.. HELP..

When I got married and moved out it was very hard at first, even being 15 mins away from my parents. Its part of life man, you get used to it in few months and weeks.

Fortunately for me, I got divorced less then a year and moved back with my parents hehe

But that was only for about 8 month untill my lawyer got my condo back

ALL PART OF GROWING UP MAN!

 

who knew growing up would be that difficult8)
makes you want to go back to your child years.

 

If you were my son, I am sure that there would be tears and lots of hugs, but I would also want you to be excited about beginning a new stage in your life. I would want that more than anything.

And a very nicely framed picture of the two of you would be a nice gift to leave with your mom. Or, if you know your class schedule, make an "appointment" to call or text at least once a week.

My son and his family live 4 hours away and I always get a special rush when I see a text from him.

 

Dude its life. Home is where you make it. A good relationship with your mom is great. Something I never had. I envy you for that. But you have to grow up and spread your wings. It is part of life and if you are always at home with your parents how are you going to meet your future wife and be successful. The greatest days of my life was bringing my kids home from the hospital. It would be kind of weird to bring your kids home to mommas house you know what I mean. Once you hit the college scene with classes and girls you will start to look at things different.

 

You will adjust much faster than you think. The phone calls will actually help. The weekend visits will too. Once you get to taking classes you will not have a lot of time to miss your family especially since you are planning on heading home on the weekends. Heading home will help with the home sickness greatly. I went to school about 500 miles from home and didn't have the luxury of going home on the weekend. You will also develop a social life on campus and that will help also. Enjoy and embrace the experience.

 

Why dont you set up a skype account for you and your mom and have video chats, its free too.

Yeah man kid years were fun, I miss my country and my childhood. But... The country I left is no longer the same, it grew and not in a good way. I am kind of glad that I remember it in a child like untainted way. You will be fine young Jedi. Just dont drink toooo much and try not to do too many stupid tings at once. Kind of glad that I got all the parting out of my system in high school. Oh yeah and one more thing. Allways wear your armor in college; not all of the girls are clean and no you cant tell by just looking at them lol

 

lol ill take a note of that. thanks

now i feel a bit better on going on to college..
i do have some questions though..
what about them student loans? im still 17 and my dad by no means will help me get a student loan. ill be 18 in november and i got my first semester paid thanks to fafsa, but i have no idea what will happen next semester. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

You will only be able to take it one semester at a time, but if you were fully funded this semester, you should be fine for the next one as well. Just remember to apply for your financial aid by the deadline and remember that YOU are the adult now. Don't expect someone else to take care of this for you. Also, make an appointment with your financial aid advisor.

 

thanks a lot you guys for this advice.. ;D it really makes me feel a lot better.

I will definitely be on my toes for this as i want to be a doctor more than anything else. I have to do my best during Pre-med so i can pass that MCAT. and get into a good medical school.

 

I saw this thread and seriously moving away to college, and especially living in the dorms, made me the man I am today. You learn a lot about yourself and other people. Just gotta roll with it, like Steve Winwood.
