Im 20 years old and i live with my parents. Our house is like the Brady Bunch, and I feel that it is time for me to move out and get some privacy. There are things going on at home that i feel is slowing me down in the process of getting my education and living a better life for my self and i feel its time for a change. I have a small part-time job i have no children and i plan to go back to school in the spring of next year. I really want o move out to focus on my life and future and not everything els that is happening at home. Do someone have any suggestions of who can help me start the goals that i have planned. I would appreciate it very much. Thank You.

Well, if it's REALLY like the Brady Bunch, by the end of the episode any problems were resolved. Not such a bad thing...
But I suspect it's perhaps a DYSFUNCTIONAL Brady Bunch and that you are truly troubled by all the goings on. I'm not sure what country you are in, so my advice is for someone in the USA. I'd suggest you find another part-time or even a full-time job. You can always quit once you start school, but don't tell them this in the interview. If you're working a lot you won't be at home! And you'll save money to move out at the beginning of the semester. You didn't indicate that you'd be living in a dorm so I'm thinking that option might not be open to you. Have you filled out your financial aid forms? Get that rolling even if you don't think you'll get money the first year, once you are established on your own, financial aid is more available. But keep working as much as you can to pay for school. The loans are a pain (read, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE) to pay back in the USA because we have to take out so much to get through school. BUT DO NOT LET EVEN THAT STOP YOU FROM GETTING AN EDUCATION. The way things are these days, you MUST have a 4 year degree if you expect to get someplace in any corporation. But I digress.
Remaining childless is an asset, try to remain that way if you can.
Remember to vote and call your legislators about keeping tuition affordable for everyone. This will serve you in the long-run if you begin acting now.
Make certain your grade point stays above 3.5 and apply for scholarships. There are a few grammar/spelling problems in your question. You might want to focus a bit on this area before you start school.
Have you been accepted at the college you mention? Have you registered? If you have not, go to the admissions office and begin the journey. The admission counselors will be able to point you in all the right directions to get you up and running.
There is a lot to think about in your transition, but you can do it if you're willing to do the work. I dropped out of college when I had only a year or two to go and tried to get back and finish time after time. Finally I got my degree last May at the age of 45. (I really feel only about 24 though...) and I feel like I can finally begin my professional life. Don't do this if you can avoid it by finishing young. But if it must be the way I did it, it's still good. In fact it's amazing!
Good luck to you, show this world what you've got!
Peace.

Check your local newspaper under rentals and roommates wanted. That's your best bet at this point. However, interview your potential roommate CAREFULLY! Getting a bad roommate who parties all night would be worse than living at home. Make sure you get kitchen and laundry privileges. Also, insist that your name be added to the lease. That way, your rommie can't dump you out on the curb on a whim.
Craigslist is also a good resource to find potential roommates locally. If you insist on living alone, sometimes a small house in an older section of town can be better and less expensive than an apartment. Good luck.

If you are going back to school a lot of colleges have places to post for a roommate, check your student commons room.....You may even luck out and find a part time job on campus also, so that will, in the long run, save you a lot of money....the only thing from my own experience I can share that you haven't already mentioned, is save save save....until you are out of school and settled into your career of choice.....It may be hard but it will pay off later when you are nine steps ahead of people in your own age bracket!!!! Good Luck!!!

Look for a roommate with whom to share your living expenses. Try roommate.com or craiglist and select your city.
