So I'm about to graduate from high school and I've really been thinking about what I want to do with my life. What I need and what I don't need. What I want and what I don't want. I really can't predict what's going to happen. It's kind of exciting and scary at the same time. Sure, I could always go to school here, but do I really want to? I want to because it's in my comfort zone and I've never really once had to do anything for myself. Yes yes, I am VERY spoiled. It's fun being spoiled. And it would be easy relying on my parents.
But I don't want to do that. That's not true. I want to. But I need to learn how to be independent and how to live with myself. Do things for me. I've always lived in the same place. Well, I use to live in Taiwan but that doesn't count. I've never had to move from one place to another like Priscilla. I don't have a father that neglects me and doesn't give a damn like so many of my other friends. I have a supportive father and a loving mother. It's really difficult not to pull away from that. To leave my comfort zone. But I think it's something that I need.
I've ALWAYS wanted to live in California. And I've always seen myself living there at one point or another. I remember since I was like 7 or something, I've always asked my parents why we couldn't move to California. Plus, there is no point in going to a university here when I want to go to school in California and paying 20,000+ for out of state tuition. Plus, I want to live somewhere far far away where I can take care of myself and I don't have to deal with my parents. I want to get the fuck out of boring Dallas. It wouldn't be difficult getting a job there either I don't think because I could just transfer to a Blockbuster in California. Soo I've been thinking, maybe I should live there for a year and establish residency. Work full time to get the money because Cali is fucking expensive. And then after a year I can go to some community college and transfer. Mmmm. And my parents won't be paying that much cause Blockbuster will be paying for some of it too.
I just don't know where I should live. I don't know if I can handle my relatives. That's probably going to end up happening because apartments are expensvie over there and it would soo much cheaper if I had roomie but that doesn't work, cause I don't know anyone! Well, Candice, but that's a completely different story.
I wonder if my parents will agree.
I don't see why not.
Movie time.
I can cut coupons and shop cheap.
I can learn how to spend my money wisely. Oh yes. And save money.
I use to be so good at that. Saving.
