Moving Out
So living at home during college was actually saving me money. However, I was new to the commute and didn’t figure out the most efficient way to get to school until a couple of years later. I was working part time. I was starting to stress out, and my dad wasn’t making things any easier. I was actually starting to blame my dad. Like let’s say when I found myself press for time to finish assignments, I resorted to blaming my dad. Then I realized that makes no sense. I was just stressed out and frustrated and since my dad was annoying me, I kind of restored to blaming my dad. Then I realized, at the end of the day, the reason I’m pressed for time is my fault and I need to take better control of my life. So then I started considering several options for me to move closer to campus, and one of those options actually included a meal plan, and was way more affordable than the dorms. But I was still on the fence about moving out and spending money. But then I got a scholarship from Google, so money wasn’t the problem. Then after that, I had to stop caring about what was best for my parents, and start caring about what was best for me.
Eventually, I guess my dad realized he couldn’t control me (until he could via cyberstalking), so he kinda changed his ways. I eventually bought myself a laptop, and then I wanted to buy a better one, and I think he actually bought the better one for me, but he for sure took the other one for himself. He watched a ton of videos online learning about different stuff. But this was after I had already moved out. I was going to write about what really motivated me to move out, but ’ll save that story for the book. To say the least, my stepmom had a miscarriage and my dad didn’t take it too well; which is an understatement, and that was when I was like, yo, I gotta GTFOH!
