I just moved into a house with some of my friends this summer, we are loving it. Its like a sleepover every night, except...no parents. Absolutely wild. Except its not exactly what I dreamed it would be in my little noggin when I was growing up. In fact, its not at all. Living on your own isn't everything its made out to be, and I bet if youre in my boat, you've thought these 16 things too.

What was that?

WHO was that?! 

Why did that just happen?

Uh… Was that broken before or did I do that?

When is trash night again?

Am I allowed to park here? 

Oh shoot. Did I lock the back door?

Crap! I forgot my keys. 

How often are you supposed to clean the baseboards?

These floors are SQUEAKY. 

….."moooooommmmm"

Whats for dinner tonight? Bread? Eggs? A single tomato? *dials jimmy johns*

*locks self out of house*

……….."daaaaaaddddddd*

Rent is due the 15th, wifi is due the 3rd, utilities are due the 21st…I am out of money, out of food. I am poor.
