I am a student at the University of Florida. I am 19 years old, majoring in Industrial Engineering. I have my own apartment, here in Gainesville, and my family lives in South Florida (6 hours away). I have scholarships to pay for my school, but my mom pays for my car, and 1/2 of my rent.
I recently started to feel like... I'm 19, soon I'll be 20, shouldn't I start working more hours and pay my own way? I'm an adult now, but I feel like a child. I have my own place, my own car, money in the bank, a boyfriend who stays with me all the time, and I'm pretty much "on my own". No one tells me what to do, when to go to bed, do my laundry. YET, since my mom pays my car and gives me 1/2 the money for rent, I feel like I'm still some little kid.
I'm always reading on here about 18 and 19 year olds that are getting married or having kids and being "adults", and here I am living off of my parents.
What do you guys think?
