Moving out?
I just started college about a week ago. I live about 20 minutes away from campus, and sometimes it takes longer to get there with traffic. So it gets a little tough driving to and from everyday.
Anyway, next summer my best friend's mom is getting married, and hence, moving in with her husband. My BFF doesn't want to move in with them, because we will be sophomores in college and 19. So, we've been talking about getting our own apartment closer to campus/our downtown area. It would be her and our other best friend. (We live in a city just barely big enough to be classified as a city. It's about 55-60,000 I believe, and the university is in a pretty decent part of town).
It seems like a win-win situation. I'd still be close to home for things like meals and laundry to save some money. The hardest part would be teling my parents, because we're a pretty close family and I don't want them to be offended or anything like that. I really just can't think of any downfalls to getting an apartment. We're responsible girls, and we're not into the party scene, so that's definitely not our motive. Could anyone share some experiences or advice about moving out for the first time? Thanks.

Your parents might be a little sad that you are moving out but I doubt they'd be offended. I mean I don't know them personally of course but all a parent really wants is to see their kid go off to college and start a life of their own. You sound like you have great parents, so I'm sure they'll be happy that you are finding your way in the world. So don't think of it as you hurting them-you're actually making them proud and happy.

i think that it would be alright if you told your parents that you wanted to experience the adult mature world by moving out(face the fact that this would happen someday unless you lived with them forever). and that getting an apartment of your own would help you learn responsibility and how to manage your own bills and school and everything else that comes with learning to be your own adult
