    I used to live by myself, work, go to school. I hate doing laundry, so I end up doing like once a week. :P I love cooking though, so I usually have my self a delicious meal each day. Other than breakfast I live off of canned fish and bottled tea. :P It is harder for guys than most people know. The first time I did my laundry I put in black socks, white socks, white T-shirts, and black night shirts. When I got it all out I had grey socks, grey socks, grey T-shirts, and grey night shirts. :P
    What I ended up doing was having my girlfriend move in next door, and I would start her car for her, fix her computer and car, fix her sink, etc, and she did all my laundry and cleaned my bathroom. :P Now that I am in Hungary though, I gotta start doing it all myself. I forgot how irritating it was to vaccum floors, clean bathrooms, and do laundry. :P Everything in Europe is so damned different, that I gotta learn it all over again. :P I am thinking I may just hurry up and tie the knot when I get home, then I would never have to do my own laundry again. :P
    So I guess I am, but not willingly. :P

    Well financially I am completely dependent on my parents. But in the house I do nearly everything for myself, the only thing I can think of that I don't do is the laundry.

    Financially I am completely dependent, but based on your definition I am completely independent.

    Oh and by financially dependent I mean I have a job, don't make much money, have savings, and could never put myself through college without my parents' help, but I foot the bill for pretty much anything else, especially when I'm at school.

    Very independant at uni, but don't really cook anything but microwave food (but I do my own laundry etc.)

    financially i'm dependant on student loan + job, so not sure if that counts

    College isn't as hard or complex as you are led to believe by High School. In fact I dare say, aside from finals, its the easiest period of schooling I've ever experienced. I'm self-dependent in the fact that I do my own laundry and make my own meals, that sorta thing.

    I don't work regularly but I recently landed a job as a freelance tech for a company based in Arlington, Virginia/DC. I did a pretty good job on site, and i'm hoping it leads to more gigs.

    I find uni is more difficult than high school. Larger essays, you practically have to do your homework so you won't fall behing, everything goes much quicker, so it's easier to fall behind. And the finals. Ooooh, they bad.

    High school was a breeze. I got a couple awards at graduation without even trying, barely studied for finals. The only time I put in an effort was for the essays, all required to be only about a meagre 6-8 pages. Heh.


    Hey, Monk! Don't forget to send me a gig of ram with a postcard, eh?
