Not crochet related but I’m about to move out of my parents house to live on my own for the first time (for study)
But it seems pretty stressy so I was wondering if anyone has any advice for first time living alone? Or like tips and tricks kinda stuff? Like just random stuff you wish you would have known when you moved out first time
I’ll be all alone there, like I don’t know a single person there yet and my first classes also start way later (so many people I’ve gotten to know won’t be here until August because they move in shortly before)

everything will cost more than you think it will and it takes a while to get the hang of budgeting…wait as long as you can to buy anything you do not need, no matter how much the urge to decorate might hit

So much of what @anon5108995 said.
When I first moved out I had roommates which helps against the initial lonelyness of going from a family home to suddenly on your own. (yes even if you hate them.) Also helps when you can split bills but I had a mini fridge in my room cause foods a bill people always try to skirt.

Yeahh that’s important, I’ll definitely need to keep track of budget
I might try making a list when I’m there, like luckily I have some time to get used to living there before going to that new university

Yeahh having nice roommates sounds fun, however I won’t have any roommates
Like there are more people in the huge building but got private tiny kitchen and tiny bathroom, like kitchen/living room/bedroom all in the same room
I think there are some common rooms to hangout but that’s gonna be scary randomly trying to chat with people, I’ll probably try but maybe not right after moving in (some bad social anxiety)

If there’s a common room just take a book or crochet with you or some other hobby. It’s usually easier for people to open up and relate if they see something you have in common.

When i moved out it was hard. I moved out of the country for four months to go to college. Yes i went back for a few months but It was rough because a weekly phone call wasnt always ideal either. I was married quite young and the first year was brutal so moving out first on your own is a good start.
I dont know your situation but suggest
Keeping yourself busy it can get lonely. As other mentioned things do cost alot check flyers for sales or even go comparison shopping.
