How would you describe your first moving out experience?

Answer 1

Kind of hard, but NECESSARY. The first few months that I moved to LA from Oregon were some of the worst of my life. I was sooo depressed and lonely. I moved into the dorms at the school I was going to, but by some clerical error, I was placed in the exchange dorm. All of my roommates and people in my building were from various parts of Asia and JUST learning English. It was hard.

Even after I made some friends, I didn't have good friends that I really enjoyed for probably a year or so. They were just kind of people to spend time with before that. Moving is hard, it takes more adjusting that you've ever needed in your life.

BUT - now, three years later, I am totally independent and so, so happy. All the people in my small hometown are so depressing when I go back! My perspectives have changed and I feel like I am a much better person. In a couple of years I will move again! It's just something you gotta do to figure everything out...

Answer 2

It was a Happy move since my Husband at the time had me living with my Family, so when he finally decided that we needed to move, we got a small place and it was a nice little apt. I didn't have a whole lot of stuff as I can remember. But I had our Daughter so it was nice to move out and have my own place. I guess we moved all of our stuff that very day.lol Gosh we didn't have anything. Oh My goodness! But being with the man I was once with I can see why. Thank you and God Bless!

My very first time I moved out was at age 14 to go to boarding school in Australia. (My parents live just across the sea in Indonesia) It was exciting because I get to experience what life's like without your parents. The strict rules sometimes suck, but you make really good friends at the boarding house and that more than makes up for it.

Beware: once you move out, you'll never wanna come back home. while i liked visiting my parents at home on holidays, i would never come back to live with them. i don't even like travelling with them for holidays.

I'm now 21 so I've moved out for 7 yrs by now. the first time i lived somewhere in a non-boarding house setting was at age 18 in Holland. It was a nice feeling too, as in, it's as though you've earnt your right to manage your own household. It's a huge responsibility as well, though. Once you really live on your own, you start to realise how important a filing system becomes. But other than that I just like the freedom I have to make myself at home in my own place.

Answer 4

I left for bootcamp for the US Navy when I was 19 in August of 1999. I was nervous! But glad to get out of my hometown. I was excited but scared at the same time. I've been all over the world, Japan, Thailand, HK, Singapore to name a few.

I visited home a year later, and the same people were doing the same boring jobs... I was glad at that point, that I got out of the house!

Answer 5

Not too good lived in the woods for 3 months with a book called "The Phycodelic Encyclopedia" saw and did lots of things that should not have been done and had to spend 3 months in a Phyciatric ward to come back to earth.

Answer 6

Scary. The first time I had roomates. But I moved back home and then the second time I moved out I lived all by myslef and it was so lonely. I was used to being in a house full of people and here I was in a little one bedroom apartment all by myself miles away from anyone I knew. You get used to it but it took me awhile.

Answer 7

I had to move out in secret because my mom would have threw all of my crap in the street. So for two days, i boxed up my stuff and hid it in my closet under some dirty laundary and when the time came to leave, I did. But the funniest thing about it was that my own mom, who raised me since birth, did not realize that I was missing for nearly a week.

Ah such fond memories....

Answer 8

Scared and excited. My father didn't want me to move out, but my mom was waiting for me to pack up, so she can move into that room. I had the biggest room out of the whole house. I actually tried to run away once and it only lasted for the weekend, because my mom was crying and leaving messages on my voice mail. I was scared because I was moving in with my in-laws. I didn't know what to expect and what they expect from me. All I know is that I want my freedom and I want to do things my own way. Unfortunately, it didn't happen that way. My in-laws were driving me crazy; especially my mother-in-law. She's constantly telling me what to do and criticizing me when no one else was there. One year later, I moved out with my husband. Now, she still does the same thing. I've learned to ignore her and talk back when she pushes me to the limit.

Answer 9

A relief. I was getting away and going out on my own! I was amazed at the stuff you need just to cook and clean. That cost me a lot of money. dishes, pots pans, utensils, cleaning supplies, mop, broom. and the list went on!! But getting out of my parents house and my sisters house was so great!!!! I never in my life walked around naked... when i got my own place i did all the time!!

Answer 10

2 years in the past, moved from TN to NE. U-Haul truck broke down one million hr out of Nashville, at 4AM. (The dumb@$$ mechanic sealed the oil pan with silicone rather of a rubber gasket, so oil grow to be pouring out everywhere.) had to get a motel. had to have movers pass our stuff from one truck to the different. Took an hour. did not get on the line till 1PM. 6 or 7 PM, the lighting fixtures on the dashboard bypass out. 11PM, get pulled over. did not attain NE till 1AM. only approximately 24 hrs. On suited of that, the U-Haul gas tank grow to be so great, the gas stopped pumping at seventy 5.00, and it nonetheless wasn't finished. We spent a daft volume of money on gas.
