Things I have learnt moving out of home.

Hey guys,

So I have been living out of home now for just over a month and I have learnt a few very important lessons, that I never had the chance to learn before. So I thought I would share my little 'tips' with you.

1. When shopping for food, don't buy just snacky foods, actually buy some decent food, that you can eat for dinner and reuse for lunch. Also try to be healthy about it, no piles of instant noodles and pork buns.

2. Don't annoy your roommates, they may just get you back in a bad and gross way, that will make you not want to go to sleep at night.

3. Find the cheapest version of what you are buying, so that you can save money and spend money on having fun and partying with your roommates.

4. Don't let drunk you write anything down. It doesn't matter what you are writing, don't let it happen.

5. Or do, write an apology letter to yourself for the morning after a big party. This can turn out great and hilarious, and is quite entertaining to read the next day.

6. Expect your roommates to borrow your kitchen stuff and food. It happens, a lot.

7. If your roommate doesn't clean there plates and cutlery, put them in a box to get them out of the way. It gets the kitchen cleaner.

8. If there is free food on campus, go get it. It saves you money and means that you can make your food back home last for just that little bit longer, without having to go to the supermarket.

9. Eating out is expensive, avoid it as often as you can.

10. Keep on top of your work at all times, no matter what is going on with your friends and that one party, that week. It's is a relief to not worry about it. 

11. Keep some fun in you day/week, being busy can get a bit too much. So lighten up your week a little, by doing something that won't cost you a tone and won't distract you for too long.

12. Make memories, these are the days you will cherish for the rest of your life. Make those friends and have fun with them.

13. A car is extremely useful, not having one can be a big pain.

These are just some of the lessons I have learnt since moving out. And they are some super important lessons when you are a slightly poor uni student.

Just remember always have fun.
