| why worry |

i honestly have no idea why everyone is always so terrified of college and being on your own. today in sacrament meeting so many people got up and said that they were so scared to move out and be on their own and blah blah blah. 

i don't know why. like yeah i'm sad i don't get to be so close to my family but now i have a new family a d 23 family. like yeah i liked going shopping with my mom and hanging out with my dad. I wasn't like dying to be out on my own but i wasn't completely dependant on my parents.

I have been paying for all my own stuff for a long time now. yes my parents paid for my house and appliances and all that fun stuff but this past year I have:

-gotten a full tuition scholarship to snow + a total of $7,000 dollars to SUU and USU

-paid $4,000+ to go to India

-bought myself a tablet

-paid for my full housing

-bought all of my college textbooks

-bought myself a new laptop 

I don't know why but I don't like having people pay for things that I am doing or need, when I pay for myself i value it more so it say.

(but when people want to take me shopping for clothes, or getting a pedicure or doing something fun i am more than happy to have someone else pay (: )

to all of you scared for college don't be. work hard don't rely 100% on your parents for everything.
