Its most definately a daily thing. I just wanted to know do i already have to have a job and a place to live before the papers are signed, and will i get grants from the government for college? I merely wish for a little imput. Right now i cant stand my parents, and the feeling is mutual, they constantly drive me into a negative tailspin whenever theyre around. I am pretty good with my finances, and have a couple thousand dollars saved up and i just want to share an apartment with someone in northern california or arizona. I just dont know how to go about this. I am absolutely ready to be gone, i just need to know how to go about doing so. Thanks for your imput and live your own life
