I’m not going to say it is an easy thing, but it is do-able, just like any move is. People put too much emphasis on how “crazy” California is. If you go about it the right way, it isn’t THAT expensive. If you want to do it, do it .. don’t make excuses, and don’t listen to anyone else because when it comes down to it they are just probably jealous. My mom helped me out here and there, still does sometimes, but the minimum wage here is high, because of the higher cost of living. When I first moved here I shared a tiny one bedroom place with 2 other girls, and yes it was crammed and we didn’t have a lot of personal space … but it was so much fun and saved us a lot of money. I recommend saving as much as you can, but don’t make that a priority because you will get into the routine of it and never actually move, I’ve seen it a million times. I can’t tell you how many people I know who want to move out of wherever they are living, and come up with excuse after excuse about how they can’t do it right now. Do you think I was rolling in dough at 20 yrs old when I picked up and moved across the country? Was I mentally stable and had my life totally figured out ? HELL no .. but I knew if I didn’t do it right then and there, I would never end up actually moving. If you really want something bad enough, nothing will stop you… so just do it!
January 2011
i can’t wait for the song.
let’s see here:oh JAKE
what a MISTAKE
i should have known that you would TAKE
my heart and let it BREAK
oh JAKE
you were such a SNAKE
remember by the LAKE
when you didn’t get me a MILKSHAKE
JAKE
you were such a FAKE
you can’t even BAKE
CAKE
oh JAKE
what a MISTAKE
fuck you with a RAKE
i guess I couldn’t MAKE
you love me……………. :””(
