Be sure to build all fires under trees to avoid the rain, and cook 5 Hearty Durians for maximum hearts + extra yellow ones. Use stealth armor to sneak around enemy encampments as well

I'd just be clear on who's doing what in the house - if you're with cool people (and you'll find out for real soon enough lol) everyone should be fine pulling their weight.

Are you moving downtown?

yeah, downtown (close to that rehearsal factory actually). apparently, they have a chore chart or something, but they are relaxed people who i've known since high school.

also i have no idea on whether they have good internet but if it sucks i'm definitely gonna lobby for better internet.

The sooner you learn money management the better. Dont be taking out Credit cards and going into debt. Learn the difference between actually needing something and just really wanting it. Before you make any purchase ask yourself what bills are due, when they are due, and if you will have enough for your purchase and to pay them. Its so easy to go "oh I get paid in xx days I will be good" This is when life loves to throw you a curveball out the blue. and last but not least NEVER spend the last of your money on something. Always have a few bucks for spending leading into your next check just for those curveballs.

'Tis a good feeling, no? Take this opportunity to work on financial management and cooking for yourself and cleaning your space.

And get a dog. Dogs are great.

Roommates?

Thats not living on your own but it is a step towards independence.

The way you make it sounds like you trust them and they trust you.

Heres a challenge for you with your roommates.

Keep that same level of trust for a year. You dont know someone until you live with them.

Heres the kicker. You will not see the person the same ever again after you lose the initial trust.

Pet peeves, implied etiquettes, personal space... you will compromise this and more. One day youll find out someone was in your room. Thats all it takes to change the stability of the living conditions

I went through a phase of eating 2 huge baked potatoes for dinner 3 times a week.
