Living apart from the family can't be easy in the beginning. Once you decide to live independently away from your parents you have to be prepared to solve all your problems yourself. There will be no one to make your bed in the morning, to serve a breakfast and to give a good-bye kiss before you leave to school. A heated food wouldn't be awaiting you when you are back from school. You have to know how to wash clothes, clean dishes, keep the area tidy. This is when you will start realizing that you are no longer a kid, but an adult. From another side it is a good experience and can be fun- spending evenings with your friend with no one calling on your phone and asking questions. I would like to try living apart as soon as I turn 18 years old.
