Things you need to know before living on your own Part 2

5-Learn from your grandparents as much as you can.

My advice is: do not ignore the advice that they always want to tell us, believe me,  we need these tips when we begin to live alone.

If we are sick, if we need to do something and do not know how, if we want something better, who are the people who always get the most suitable advice? our gramndparents, they are the ones who have more experience and we have to listen because we do not how to do everything alone. 

The amount of knowledge, stories, and experience floating around in the head is amazingly overwhelming.

6- being healthy is a luxury

Besides we pay our own things, we have to find the time that we do not have to eat something good, but work, college, and all the things we have to do every day takes all our time, and always  we end up at McDonalds eating fast food, just because we do not have enough time to cook, eating every day something fast bringing risks to your health
My advice is to write down in a book easy recipes and organize it, also, we could think what we're going to eat that week. Thus we save money and  we eat healthy.

Although this problem becomes more complicated for young people who are from Venezuela, we do not get the basic products and we finished eating only what we get, but this is out of our hands  

7- You talk to yourself. A lot.

And now that you're living alone, you have no one to share your ideas, or maybe you do not trust your roommate and you begin to speak alone with yourself, you will think you're crazy but it helps you feel better and let off steam a bit about yourself, it sounds weird but its ok =)

Being alone have their benefits, the TV will always be yours, you will enjoy drinking alone, you can listening music that you like without anyone telling something  about your tastes, you could be free; but with this freedom comes challenges, feeling lonely fridays afternoons, eating alone,  and sometimes you will miss noises that you hated time ago; but it can be a positive experience, you  will fail, you will get up,you will try again, you will get  a job, you'll lose it, but this is the world, this is life teaching you.

Living alone is the best experience in live because teach you A LOT, helps you to know a little of everything, you know new people, new cultures, and if you are thinking of taking that big decision do not be afraid, if you never try you will never know, nobody said it was easy and nobody said it would be that hard.

Things you need to know before living on your own

If you're preparing to take the big step of living alone in another country or another city where do not count with the support of your family, you should consider these tips that will help you.

With the situation of this country many young students are considering moving to another country to finish their career, others wants to be independent and living alone. Most of the people who want to be independent are young students who have always relied on mom and dad, without experiences and with afraid to do not know what do to; but do not worry about that things that you probably you have never done alone, i will give you these tips that WILL HELP YOU!

1  YOU aRE GOING TO HAVE UNPLANNED EXPENSES 

You'll be happy because you will manage your own money, but everything will be gone before you started to plan on what you will spend the money, you will start to have so many debts that you did not see when you lived with your parents because they paid the electricity, your clothes, your food, etc;  AND NOW?

My advice is:  Do not spend all your money on everything you would ever want for the simple fact of living alone, save every day a small amount of money and you will see that  you can pay bills without any problem.

2  YOUR ROOMMATES MIGHT BE CRAZY

Most of  students are living with a roommate, and BELIEVE ME it is not easy, maybe that person could do things that you do not like, maybe they might not respect your things, perhaps that person could be messy or maybe have a very different personality

My advice is: just establish clear rules when  you arrive to your room or apartment, speak kindly and say the things you like and and the things you do not, tell them that you like order and tell them that they have to respect your food and things; so that person will have clear the rules  and you will see that there will no problems in the future.

3  CLEANING WILL HAPPEN  and cooking will also happen

This is a fact that you should know before living alone, everything gets dirty very very very fast and remember: THERE IS NO MOM :( to help to clean up the mess, or wash, or cooking.

My advice is: ORGANIZE YOUR TIME, choose a weekend to wash all your clothes, so it does not accumulate, also keep your place clean always, it will make it much easier to organize. You can do everything, all is a matter of organization because is not easy be responsible for washing your dishes, doing your laundry, dusting, sweeping, mopping, cleaning toilets, etc.

These are some of the things you should consider and be prepared for when you decide to live by your own

Things i learned living away from home

 Things i learned living away from home

We know how difficult it is sometimes to leave our comfort zone, leave our home, our families and friends, but living away from all means flying without wings, grow and change.

There are many reasons why we left our nest, like work or studies, and some people find it 

easier than others, and this make us realize what is most important in our lives, and also learning a lot of things. 

1. You realize that your hometown is much closer to your heart 

           

When you are away, you begin to appreciate more things, you start to think more about your family, the things you used to do, and you learn to appreciate the things that your mom did for you, but all is to grow, learn new things and new people.
I do not believe in fate but I think everything that happens in your life is for your benefit, sometimes it is painful that "benefit" but we must take all the good you can for every situation.
Everything happens for a reason, live it, love it, learn from it. 

2- You start valuing money 

Now that you are living alone, you will learn to value money better, you'll know what it is to save and always buy necessities,and to think twice before buying something just to impress others; when we are living with our family we got used to them to buy us all, and wedo not  know the efforts made by them until it is our turn to value our own money. People value and spend their money more wisely when they acquire it by their own efforts, also known as work.

3-You learn to solve your own problems

you are living alone, you're ALONE and away from home and now? now you have to solve your own problems, there is no more mom and dad to help us.

Before we go away we say: what would i do in this situation? what would i do without my mom if something happens? and we never know until there is a problem in our lives, and that's when we see what we are capable of solving

4- You become independent:  you learn to cook, to clean ,to be more responsible, caring for pets, pay bills, you start to travel,  you become more responsible, you meet new people who challenge your opinions, and also you realize the importance of having friends and how they become your family.

living away from home

Going away it's hard, it's appalling, 
sometimes we make decisions that we think they are corrects and we have to bet on those decisions we took to get away; sometimes you miss many things, like your family, your friends, your home, and places you used to go, and all of a sudden there is a burst of thoughts where you wonder if  this is the accurate time to go, because  you let all that stuff back; straight away comes the fear of the future begin to wonder if this is suited to you, if it is better if you stay in your comfort zone, but someone once told me to never get far if you stuck in your comfort zone, you had to take risks and to be willing to try to lose something to gain something  much better.

Still living away from everything you love, does not mean that you're gone forever, you never know what it's like really far if you do not know what it feels like a hug from a family reunion, you do not know what it feels like to think that maybe you spend your birthday without them, miss big suppers with them, or simply not to be when you most need them  or when you need them most, but every sacrifice has its reward right? a career, new friends, new goals, have an open mind, learn new things; this is a voyage of discovery new things, its a venture, and that's life into an unknown world; make it yours, make it your home.

 Living away from home undoubtedly teaches you to appreciate more things, shows you who misses you, shows you those friends that no matter how far you are they will not fail you and do not forget you, as well as teaches you to be independent and to fend for yourself. Going away is not bad, is just to live your life and take the necessary decisions to move forward and accept that even if your path is away from home, is the right way if you feel that it is right, and does not matter what people will say about living away from home,does not matter if they think that you are a vague person or a tramp, because there are many people that do not want to watch how you make your dreams come true. If what you're doing is worth, its okey miss something or someone because it is for your welfare. Travel widely and enjoy your life as much as you can.
