So I am starting a blog. About a 22 y.o female, navigating her new-found freedom. 

Freedom is a scary thing, I will finally be able to live the life I want, but what life do I want?

In recent memory I have contemplated living like a rebel, leaving this town and never turning back. I am college educated and should want nothing more than a job in the field I have worked so hard to excel in, but part of me wants to leave and never look back. Instead, I got a job. Very much related to what I want to do, working with a new population. It is all very exciting, I am leaving my parents house and moving 4 hours away. I have a place to live, temporarily and it is not my own, however it will give me the motivation to find my own place.I am hoping not to have a roommate but while I was not born into riches and lavish living, I hope for some semblance to my typical standards. I don't need anyplace fancy, just a couple rooms. the smaller the better, as it is cold where I am going and I don't need to spend my whole paycheck on heating the damn place. The apartment search is daunting and ridiculously scary for me. I am so scared of making a wrong choice or worse, being screwed over. I cannot imagine the horror of picking a place I end up hating or where the landlord is a dick. Even so I am looking, and have found some seriously nice potential places, so my hopes are high. 

I am currently single, I know what your thinking, you? But you are so hip and cool writing a blog at 9:30 on a Sunday night. HAHA sorry,I couldn't resist. I did make a contingency plan today though. My ex, who might be the love of my life, agreed to have kids with me if by the time I am 30 neither of us have prospects. Why you might ask, would I not simply be with the potential love of my life? Because it doesn't work. It might, someday. Right now both of us are just too confused and messed up to work together and I would be moving away from him as well as my parents. 

I hope that tells you a bit about where I am coming from and helps you decide whether to continue reading as I continue on this wonderfully terrifying journey.
This will be the first time I blog, and it is not for a class. I am a 22 y.o. female who will be embarking on the scariest journey known to man, adulthood. That's right ladies and gentlemen, I am leaving behind my comfy bed in my parent's basement, and trying something new. I will be utilizing skills I gained, in college. In a job, that has benefits and offers paid time off. This blog will be about all the ups and downs as I try and navigate bills, coworkers and possibly attempt something related to a social life. This post will be followed by another more detailed, what you need to know about me post. But for now, welcome. I hope you are as entertained as I am terrified.
