If you have been reading my blog in the past month, you may know that I have moved out in order to be closer to university.
Now that I have been living in the new flat with my flatmates for a few months, I have picked up on a few things that normally I wouldn't have noticed.
- While packing you realise how much useless junk you have in your room
- The first food shop will probably leave your wallet gasping for air
- You feel like you're living in a stranger's home during the first week
- Doing the dishes is a never-ending task
- Washing up the clothes is a battle against the rain that you will never win
- Sometimes your food will 'mysteriously' disappear from the fridge
- You can stay up all night and no one will say anything (although I much prefer to be in bed by 9)
- Your cooking will probably not be as good as your parents' home cooked meals
- Your money will start flying out straight from your pockets
- The rate at which dust collects is faster than you can ever clean
- I know this is quite a cliche but freedom truly is sweet
Have you also experienced any of these things when you first moved out?
