GAAAHHH!!!!!
Now first off let me start by saying that I love my family, I really do. But after experiencing the freedom of living by myself on campus for two years and then moving back home because it would be cheaper than living on campus. Even so I regret my decision greatly. Not only are there more distractions at home (tv, faster internet, more comfortable beds, better food) I am constantly annoyed by my family’s bickering. I cannot begin to tell you how much it gets on my nerves. And of course I cannot complain or I’ll hurt someone’s feelings or be seen as a bully or some crap like that. I hate it. I don’t get the same freedoms as I usually would either as I would on campus. No curfew, no being forced to sleep when I’m studying late (yes I actually have been) and just completely other stupid things. I can’t stand it. What’s worse are the constant comment about my choice of career and whether or not I will be making money. I am not in it for the money. Sure I would like a job and make money but I just want enough to support my family and I when I have one. So my new decision to continue my schooling in another state (Colorado to be exact) has gotten me some interesting new comments. I don’t think any of my friends have even commented as much as my family. They’re driving me insane. What’s worse when I mention I will be staying late at school to do group studying or work on a group project I get complaints that I’ll be too late to pick me up (I am currently immobile at the moment) and I get complaints. Yes, I see how t would be a problem but what am I to do? Not go and get a lessened grade and fail the class? Yeah I don’t think so. What is worse is the comments on the gas money and my lack of a job to help with the money. I couldn’t work if I could with the fact I have no car, and I’m swamped with a bunch of units. It would be a lot easier but my parents refuse to acknowledge the fact that I could stay at school if all I did was stay in my friends rooms and move around since they say its ok. I am getting sick and tired of it all. All of the schoolwork is killing me and I’m under pressure to raise my GPA so I’m off probation then next semester to collect as many unit credits to keep my financial aid. Its driving me insane and I need a vacation.
