Where is Home

I’m from a small city called Medicine Hat which is about 4 hours west of here. I have lived there my entire life and living here has blessed me in so many ways. With around 65 thousand people it was a pretty chill place with a great sense of community. Moving away from home was a great challenge and something I am still struggling with today. The experience has filled me with mixed emotions, good and bad. Freedom is something I have fallen in love with. Not having to ask or tell my parents what my plans make moving away worth it for sure. There is, of course, a downside to this as well. Cooking, cleaning and everything else that used to be done for you is now gone and won’t get done unless you do it yourself. Moving away has helped me fix some bad habits of mine. Time management is something my dad has always been on me about being better and all I had to do it fix it was move out. Also being better with my money is a huge problem before I moved out but now when I realize I have to buy everything for myself it helps me save money a lot better. One other thing I learned about myself is that I hate being alone. Without my roommates, I think I would of gone insane. Moving to a new city was hard when I didn’t know anyone and now I realize I don’t think ill ever be able to live alone. I have learned so much about myself and I have only been on my own for 1 semester. I cant wait to see myself in 5 years when I’m all done.
