Today you learned one of the BIG lessons ...Andrew,<br /><br />Today you learned one of the BIG lessons in life: the real world sucks!<br /><br />Chances are, Andrew even after you get out of college you'll be living in an apartment for a year or two and you may not even have laundry facilities on the same block. That's when you need to be sure you have real money and a way to haul your dirty clothes to the laundromat. And there you won't have the luxury of leaving your stuff to come back later. In the real world people will steal your sopping clothes while you're away.<br /><br />And when you get into the real world and on your own you'll get to make some of those decisions you made today: beer and pool with my buds or clean the house, wash the clothes and finish the work I brought home from the office. Tough choices, Andrew, but these are the ones you'll get to make every day until you die.<br /><br />And I hate to sound picky here but when you write: "I made little to no contact with parents" what that really means is that you actually did make contact with them. You either contacted them or you didn't. Toughing it out is when you actually DON'T make contact with them for a day.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.com
