Moving back home after living on your own is essentially the worst experience ever .So many kids go ways to college and party too much and don't balance school work and once the parents see the report card they are forced to come home .After living on my own in Orlando Florida , doing the Disney College Program I struggled tremendously Being back home .The only good thing about moving back home is free rent and free home cooked meals . Trust me everything else about this arrangement is no Bueno . Here are my reasons why
1: Loss of freedom When I moved back home my parents were extremely opposed to my late night walks and adventures that I had become accustomed to . They were worried about my safety . 2: Social life Your social life will surely suffer . If you're coming from a college community you're used to finding parties by just walking out of your door . But once you move back home , goodbye social life . No one is home everyone else is still away at school because they didn't fuck up like you . 3: Community College So you couldn't get yourself together away at university Well we have a warm seat waiting for you at J.C.C (Just Community College ) and don't worry all of the other kids from your home town will be there . 4: Contribution This conversation will probably go like this " If you're going to live here you're going to have to start contributing " "To what !!!? " You don't want to have this conversation just contribute . 5: Getting laid We all know how easy it is to get laid away at college not so much when you're living at your parents in your empty hometown and you're sleeping in your makeshift room that your parents converted into a home gym since you went away to college . You do not want to do this . 6 : Loneliness You miss your Roomate .Having someone to constantly get into trouble .She would eat food with you at 4:00 am .Talk about boys with . She was basically your person 24/7. And now you have no one . 7 : Running into old friends . This conversation will go like this "Hey Kendra . I thought you went away to uni ? " You will make up a lie as to why you're back home and leave with a promise to "HMU " and see each other at JCC upon you walking away they will post in the groupme notifying everyone that you were spotted at JCC . 8: Yik Yak Home Yik Yak Sucks and you will not be able to fight the urge to set your herd back at school . This will inevitably depress you 9 : Avoiding family Questions This conversation will go like this "how's school ? " "Don't know " "Do you have a boyfriend yet ? " "Do you have a husband yet ?" "When are you going to done with school?" "When you find a husband auntie Tina." 10: Work Load You will work extremely hard to get your grades up and go back to uni or another internship . You will probably get a job too so you can save a little money ,contribute and have something to do besides binge watch Netflix . This is not the end of the world this will be a humbling experience for you and you will work your hardest to stay on top of your game so you are never forced to move home again .

I had been asking God to send me a good man for the longest. I had the seemingly perfect life. Full time job as a manager , in college , running my own business , and a blog, had my own car and I paid my own bills .The only thing that seems to be missing was a significant other. All of the other girls who didn't work nearly as hard as me had boyfriends but I didn't and I just felt like I deserved one. I moved to Florida for a while doing a Disney Internship and had a few flings there but nothing that lasted when I got back home to Chicago. I already knew everyone in my hometown and I didn't want to date any of them. I started looking at my campus but let's face it COD (College Of Dreams) Is so antisocial I had no luck there .I started looking on all the dating sites (yea it got that bad) and it was terrible. All of the guys online wanted hookups and that's just not my style. After a few weeks on the sites I met a really sweet, attractive guy who was also God fearing. This guy was perfect he had goals, was in college, and went to church and most importantly he lifted my spirit up. He encouraged me and told me I could do anything I wanted and how successful I would be. His number one goal was to make me feel good as a woman. I woke up every morning to good morning beautiful went to sleep to goodnight beautiful this is what I had been wanting. So here he is the guy I had been asking for right in my face and for some reason I found myself pulling away from him. I found myself finding every reason why this relationship wouldn't work instead of why it would work. The truth is I worked 12-8 every day, when I wasn’t working my job I was running my business or writing blog posts or at the gym or at church. I was way too busy building my empire to have a relationship. When you make the decision to be a #GirlBoss you have to be fully committed to it. It’s actually kind of sad to think of the sacrifices I have to make to be as successful as I want to be but the level of success I want to reach I cannot be distracted. My life is all work and no play. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I will retire at a young age and be incredibly happy in the future. With a boy around I just couldn't focus on work and I felt conflicted I wanted to spend my free time grinding and not being with some guy. Timing is everything in life and I truly feel he just presented himself to me at the wrong time. I believe that if had come at a later time when i was a little more established in life and had more things going for myself it would have been different . I also now not to ask for things I am not ready for, from now on I know I have to stay focused and keep going at my goals because there will always be another boy .When will I be ready for a relationship? Maybe when I finally conquer the world , but for now Im still Single and Hustlin.
