Moving Home

I moved back home in May after graduation to accept a job and start graduate school. My parents opened their doors offering a rent free, free food, free utilities and amenities offer which I gladly accepted. It has always been just the three of us along with whichever pets were in our lives at the time. So we made the big move- Sydney and I my two year old lab. It just made sense on top of the "free offer" Sydney would inherit four new play mates.
Now we've been home for almost four months and the situation is still good- even though I know that there are things that are a little difficult such as remembering to call if I have made last minute plans, or juggling my time between my friends and family. I think that reality has just hit- there will be no moving back into my apartment with my friends surrounding me- that phase of my life is over. No more late night movie nights, being five minutes from my friends, or stopping by the sorority house to just hang out- the spontaneity of that life style no longer exists there has to be a plan- after work or after school, the weekend. Its strange to be 22 and feel like you are living the live of a 42 year old- minus the husband and children.
