What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

[Carl]

Dude, I know. Not even the first time this has happened to you, wtf.

Idk. People just don't seem to realize I'm a badass they shouldn't mess with, lol.

[Braveheart]

I wonder what would that RP with Dixon will be like ...

My only gripe I have is what kind of plot should I have?

It will definitely be different from the ones I had with QE. Much different.

Ugh! Been ill all day

[Braveheart]

Only now I realize what's an asterisk role play lol.

[Tsuki]

Ohhhhhh this documentary looks interesting.

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine, adding up the layers of harmony...

Does it show that I'm impatient?

[Marizzle]

Was going to respond to this, lol, but it seems that the problem has been resolved, I guess?

Anyway, just going to say that being independent was, at least for me, one of the best things that could've happened. Granted, I did a lot of cooking before I left college and I knew how to wash dishes and such, and I knew some stuff about money, but... well, I don't tend to tell people this, but I'd never really done an actual load of laundry before. Not to mention a lot of aspects of getting a job and going through school all on your own... it's a new thing. Some stuff will be like that. But it feels natural.

If you want to learn to start cooking, ask your parents while you still live with them. They might be a valuable resource. I, for the most part, really missed out on learning to cook from my parents, but even so, it's still possible to learn. My one friend who was in my grade who inspired me to cook more/better (because she was good at it and did it a lot) simply told me something along the lines of "just start with what you know". If it's things like box meals and spaghetti, that's fine. Just spend time in the kitchen. As you get more comfortable you'll be able to do more things and expand. Take advice and tips from friends/family or online resources. There's plenty of tutorials, recipes, and cooking tips out there that will help.

When I first started cooking on my own at 11, it was basically just boxed mac & cheese and plain spaghetti, and stuff like that. But by the time I moved out I was able to make things like soups and sauces from scratch, and also add things like meat and sometimes vegetables. Granted, I still have a ways to go, and I don't get to cook too much since this dorm doesn't have a kitchen (jgeiwhgiewhfihewifiewhfewrgng) but y'know, those things will probably be helpful next year when I'm actually living in an apartment or one of the barns.

I know I'm only 17 and younger than you so it probably feels weird for me to give advice... so sorry about that. But I have been living on my own for about 6 months now and these are things that helped me, and that I hope will help you, too. ^^ In the meantime, try not to be too anxious about it, I guess? I suppose that's all I can really say on that front. I personally was excited to move out and was counting down the months about three or four years before it actually happened, so I'll admit, I don't have too much to say about those feelings of nervousness. But I think trying to prepare might help for sure.

Thanks a lot. And, don't worry about being "only 17". Age means nothing here.

Thanks for the advice, and for sharing your experience, too. It seems hard at first, but, then, I remember other people, with ages similar to mine, have done it. If they can do it, I can do it, as well. Personally, I like living with someone, since I've never really been alone, and, although it can be equally as hard for some people, for me, it'd be easier to have a roommate. But, if I have no other choice, so be it. I'll be strong and find a way through it. Honestly, I really admire you for living on your own. It's something I can't imagine myself doing right now.

Ugh! Been ill all day

I hope you feel better soon.

I'm a crap cook-I put something in boiling water and then assume it's edible afterwards

[Tsuki]

I'd love to be able to cook when I get my own kitchen

Anyone having trouble cooking should make use of Food Network.
