Moving out, Moving to Chicago
Currently I live in a small town in North Carolina. I've visted Chicago many times this year. I am very happy and excited to say that I will be moving to Chicago next week!!
I already have an apartment ready to go and I am in the process of getting everything I need to make a comfortable living. I have most of the things ready, except I am going to have to buy a bed when I get up there since I am driving my car up there. It is going to be about a 12 hour drive... I am not looking forward to the drive. I drove up once to Chicago before and back and it was very tiring.
I am 18 (turning 19 on september 29th) and I will be moving out of my house for the first time ever by myself. No more mom cooking dinner for me or me making a bunch of freezer food. I won't be able to eat as much as I used to till I get a job and have enough income coming in to do extra things, which that could take a while. I hope I can get settled in very soon, about a week or two is my goal, and then go out and find a job and start working often. (if anyone knows any places that are hiring, please tell me!)
I am very excited to move out, and I think I may be a litttle scared, not from living by myself or anything, but because I have been too dependent on my mom for food and etc so I am going to need to learn how to cook, wash my clothes, etc.
And now with me living near Triton, I can go and take classes at the school instead of online! And I'll be able to be with my girlfriend, (from the other blog post).
Does anyone have any moving out experiences? What were your feelings at the time? How old were you when you moved out by yourself for the first time?
Please share!

We are living in a digital world..
20-30 years ago we were not as technological advance as we are now. We didn't use cell phones, computers, laptops, GPS, the internet etc. We could live without all of those tools, but now in today's society. We MUST have these tools to operate and live our daily lives.
Today we use these tools for a number of reasons, we use cell phones/smartphones for talking on the go. And accessing the internet on your phone. I have a Droid X, and it does everything. Thousands of apps, touch screen, 8.0 megapixel camera, basically everything. It can even create its own wireless hotspot. The phone is well worth the money I paid for it.
Everyone, whether you're at work or at home use a computer/laptop to do daily activites such as, social networking sites (facebook and myspace) email, look up reviews for resturants, order food, literally anything you can imagine! The internet is probably the most amazing invention ever made. It changed the world, and how we view it.
All of these advancements make me wonder where we will be in 20 years. How much will our society advance? Could we be living in space? Inhabiting another planet? Who really knows, but we all know we can look forward to the future and all of the new inventions to come.
