Going SOLO

Hello gorg! How's life recently? Me, I moved to a new place for studying purposes. Yep, that's why I'm doing this post. I haven't been here for a week but I surely learned a lot of things already. I sure did adjust a lot in the last 5 days that I've stayed here.

 Are you moving to a new place too? Here's some tips to get you started:

*LOOK FOR A DECENT PLACE TO STAY IN
What I mean by decent is a place where you will feel safe (I mean a place that's really safe) and comfortable. You might not want to settle in an environment that is dirty, right? We still want to feel at home. Try looking for a dorm/apartment that has security guards or CCTV cameras. This way you'll feel more safer mostly at night.

*START PREPARING 1 WEEK BEFORE MOVING
Surely you've seen the place you're going to move in. Think of the things you will need if you are there. Of course, let's not forget the necessities. Are you allowed to cook inside the dorm/apartment? Or bring pets? Those things you have to know and consider. Make sure to make a list of the things you'll need so won't forget anything.


*CHECK YOUR LIST THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU MOVE IN
JUST BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T LIKE TO FORGET SOMETHING. Just to be sure. 


*CLEAN YOUR PLACE
When you get to your place, make sure you brought with you all purpose cleaners. You might want to scrub the floor, walls and the CR. Every inch of your place. If you're like an OC like me when it comes to cleanliness. 


*PERSONALIZE YOUR SPACE
Decide where to put your things. Your tables, bed, appliances. Make sure you have efficient space. Nobody enjoys a crammed place.


*ROAM AROUND OUTSIDE YOUR PLACE
You wouldn't stay inside forever! You have to know the things around you. You have to be aware of everything since you're new to the place. Adapt the environment and how people do their things.


*LOOK FOR NEARBY RESTAURANTS, TRANSPORTATION, HOSPITAL, OR COFFEE SHOP
You just have to know. 


*BE ATTENTIVE 
You have to pay attention to everything that is happening around you. It is hard to be in a place that you don't know anyone. Don't stay out late at night. You don't want to end up getting raped or kidnapped right?

It really is a lot of adjusting and it's not just with the place but also with the environment and the people around you. Maybe a month is still a short time time to say that you've finally adjusted. The first few days you got sent off will be the worst ones. I mean it. You'll cry and feel lonely most of the time especially when you don't know someone. But you'll slowly realize that living alone is a good thing (If you're used to being independent tho. Some people just aren't used to being alone) It will make you grow. Being independent feels like you've finally come out of your comfort zone. And that is what makes you a better person. 

You got it gorg!
