kvp (what is your real name? i am sorry i am so bad at remembering these things), being in debt is terrible but unless you really absolutely cannot afford it i would seriously recommend moving out because if you don't move out for university, the next opportunity tends not to present itself until after you have graduated which can be at least three years later and it is just an excellent opportunity to learn all those millions of things you didn't realize you would need to know how to do while living on your own until you are living on your own. obviously you also end up doing ridiculous shit like having stupid amounts of parties and disappearing for days on account nobody needs to know where you are, but with that actually comes a very surprising number of lessons about responsibility that are hard to learn in other ways. also, feeling like you are kind of sick of living with your parents is a pretty big reason to move out as you will probably be wanting to do as good as possible in your classes and not enjoying your environment can be surprisingly detrimental to concentration and studying efficiency and all that.
i know i am biased because i do not get along with my parents but i am still very, very glad to this day that i made the decision to move away for school. i would be a totally different person if i hadn't.

KvP:
Yeah (John, by the way) that's basically what I was thinking. The mitigating factor in this instance is how much my parents are going to support me. I'm not sure if I can get a job, I certainly won't get a job that's as nice as the one I have now.

Update on The Faint Guest List!:


As of right now, I still have no one to go with. I am thinking of going by myself, and then finding someone to pick me up from the metro, since the buses back into town don't run after 11pm. Maybe I can meet someone in St. Louis who would care to join me. My friend who was/may still be interested told me to ebay the experience. ha! Not only do I doubt people would actually want to pay to hang out with me, but I can't make any money off of the experience, since I got on the guest list via work.

Another one of my friends told me that only I could make something as cool as getting on a guest list to a show not cool. :(

BrittanyMarie:
Yeah, I would also recommend living on campus... you meet so many people that way, and you are NOT living with your parents. That's a good thing! Because you get to be independent and do whatever and yes you will probably make mistakes, but that's kind of the point. It's like Real Life training wheels.

And to be honest with you, I absolutely hated living in the dorms (I liked my roommate, though she was really into exclamation marks!!!!!!!, but I disliked every single person on my floor that I met) but I did learn so much about myself.
