Life would, like, totally suck if we were only entitled to four "best years," and they come at the very beginning of life, before we know anything.
Also, people being, um, "different," makes for one interesting world. In that we are not all the same. And do what everyone else does. And do what we would like.
But, if 18 through 22 are the best years of lifehood, then, really, I mean.
I'd much rather have my rising action culminate in Act III, rather than middle to end Act I.
Do what you want to Stevie.

Now I didn't say I'd be spending all my time here at home. I'll probably live on campus, and just sleep here. And I don't watch Star Trek reruns.

Funny that. I have a new job, for about 3 weeks now. I'm doing data entry for New England Construction news, an element of Construction Data Corporation News. I live in the middle of PA & the office I work for handles bids for the places where I grew up. It's grand.
But yes. Part-time (30-35 hours a week), $9 an hour. Sitting & doing what I'd be doing at home. Yay.
Now if only I hadn't had to have been forcefully separated from my girlfriends for 2 years at the start of it. Stupid laws....stupid non-understanding parents.

Yes, what were they thinking, preventing their teenage daughter from, let's put it nicely, associating with a man ten+ years older than her?

oddly enough, ive gone out (or just been friends) with a lot of people that have a considerable age difference with me, and their parents have been pretty gracious on the matter. i guess it just depends on the situation.
wait.. live there AND sleep there?

Most of the people I chill with are considerably older than me, and in many cases married.... I don't really get along with those that are my age *shrug* Don't have much in common, I guess....
Good thing that these guys I love so much have trusting wives, though... otherwise it's be a REALLY messy situation!

Now just to make sure, Liz, YOU weren't offended by that, were you? Seemed like something you'd get, but everyone else seems to have been, so I thought I should make sure...
As for money, I've got about $6,000 in a savings account from my last year of work and my whole life before that. That'll easily hold me until I get a job elsewhere. I should have but minimal expenses beyond my scholarships to cover this year.

Now, you see, I'm in the same boat. Kinda. The university I'm going to in a couple of weeks is in the city that I work in, which is about 20 minutes away. Why would I want to go out and get an apartment? I don't think I want to live in the city, as the only apartment I'd be able to afford would be not very desirable at all. So, I'm going to live at home for the first couple of years of university. Then, once I can't finish my degree here, I have to move to the other UNB campus, which is up in another city. How's that, hmm?
