What are you really looking forward to doing when you move out?

I was going to say that! Gwan the naked electros

Since I've moved out the things that have annoyed me about being at home for any extended period are;

1. Being told to get up. Yes I know it's noon MOM, however, I was up til 6am, so go away

2. Dinner times. I love coming home and being fed, but if I'm there for long the whole "dinner is ready now, you have to sit down now, and talk" I always read/watch TV while I eat, and having to talk to my family through a mouthful of food about how my day was (main bullet point: I did nothing) is crap.

3. Slow internet. How did I live with that for so long?! How do my parents STILL live with it?

4. No swearing. Feck off.

5. Having to get lifts/buses everywhere, stupid countryside.

I realise this makes me sound like a nasty moody cow to live with, I'm not really! I love going home for the odd weekend, and I'm quite fond of my family actually, I just dislike having to live in somebody else's house.

This is pretty much what I hate every day. But we do have Broadband (don't know where I'd be without that...) Get to stay with a friend next week coz her parents are going abroad...:D Yay! Freedom!

I moved out a few of weeks ago, and I have to say at the moment I still prefer life at home to life away from home, despite the extra freedom. Then again my parents are quite reasonable when it comes to just about everything, and for the past week away from home I was trying to cook and clean and drag myself to lectures and everything, not realising I was suffering from quite a nasty chest infection. It was only when I got home that I was sent to the doctor and sorted out (thank you Mammy:D).

As for what I was looking forward to/ enjoy now, it has to be simply the feeling of being in charge of myself, not being infantilised.

Parties, staying out all night and not being forced to get out of bed

I've enjoyed the last few weeks on my own, it's been pretty handy. Though, it's really broken up by the weekends so I don't feel like I moved out at all.

Moving out is very over-rated.

Having had the house to myself and my sister since Friday I've decided I don't want to ever move out. I'm sick of being cold and hungry

Living on campus in DCU...
Have to sign anyone who's staying over in before noon on the day, which is quite a pain in the ass.

Costs a fiver as well so you can't just sign them in just in case, you still ose the money if they're undecided.

Just don't live on campus

So many people going home at weekends... Can't say I ever understood that one. My family's fine, but I really don't want to live with them, ever... Moving out was one of the best choices I ever made

get up when I want, miss what I want, sleep where I want, ad nauseam what I want

I think for all us lads anyway the common consensus is that bringing people home is the prevailing decision amongst us:p

But even just the whole independance will be great, I mean I'd be pretty independant anyway as I wouldn't be mollycoddled by their parents like some people, but it takes it to a new level when you move out for sure.

Being able to put random crap on the sitting room walls and no one will judge it.

Just that feeling of freedom, that this is your gaff and you can do what you want. There's no-one to tell you what to do. It's your life. And being able to have parties and have people over whenever I like.

Not completly true.. i thought this too, but if your sharing a house/apartment then its theyr house too and you cant have a party if theyr studying or are looking for a lazy night in... it kinda killed my buzz

Eating Fad's toast. Definitely the toast.

Not commuting for an hour and a half will be nice too, I guess. :P

To be honest I hadn't even thought about that until this thread started.

I've realised how much I enjoy the quiet (when there are no parties going on), being able to do things in my own time and the DCU library since I've moved up... Pathetic I know.
