So, as many of you know, I moved down here to Austin from Illinois about a month ago to start grad school. Kinda my own little SO going on in my life right now I guess you could say. Anyways, I really love Austin, grad school (well, most of the time!), the last month has been full of highs and lows I guess you could say.
The hardest thing??? Living alone... this is the first time ive every lived alone, im so used to having multiple roommates, or living with my family. I hate coming home to an empty apartment, it is depressing! I'm pretty much gone all day during the week busy w/school and clinic stuff, and I have made some good friends, and on weekends i do go out with them at night, etc. But really I am at a loss on how to handle being by myself. Weekends are the hardest. I seriously spend most of my time talking on the cell to friends or family, or online or something. Do any of you out there also live alone, have you done it in the past?? Have advice on how to better deal?? Practical tips? Im going to start talking to myself any day now
I'm a big fan or Rhonda's Fearless living books, theyve really changed my life and are part of the reason im down here in Austin!!! I know I know, I am resposible for my own happiness... blah blah blah, but at this point im in need of concrete advice. my powe bill is going to be outrageous because i cant stand silence... i always have to have music or the tv on in the backgound.
..whoa didnt realize how long and venting like this got, sorry people!
