are you self-dependent?

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?

Somewhat.... transport is my major gripe. (and cleaning... I hate cleaning)

I'll need to be in 4 months...

Would if I could, Megas. Unfortunately one of the first things they teach you in IT is to regularly inventory what a specific case has. That way you can spot when someone is stealing stuff to use in their home machines.

Eh. Mostly and mostly not. I'm highly independent in most things- I can cook a bit, I do laundry, when I need to grab something at the store, I can buy it myself(UNI books included

). However, I'm highly dependent on my dad in the sense that if I didn't have him doing paperwork stuff for financial aid, I'd be outta UNI faster than a camel army squishing a roasted cadre of knights in the desert.

EDIT: Per College- it aint that hard- I studied a bit and still pulled a 3.8 my first semester. This semester's definitely a bit harder though, probably the 18 credit hours I signed up for.
