At college, you'll meet students who live ten miles away and some who live on the other side of the world. You've had enough of your mom following you around and letting your parents know where you are at all times. Here are the tell-tale signs you're ready to leave home...
1. You prefer cooking for yourself
We all know how wonderful it is to get a home-cooked meal every once in a while, but most of the time you prefer to eat whatever and whenever you want. Sitting at a table with your family doesn't appeal to you like it used to. That's for Christmas and Christmas only.
2. You prefer doing chores in your own time
Yes, your parents are trying to be helpful, but sometimes you just have bigger and better things to be worrying about than a clean bedroom. Save it for the weekend, Mom.
3. You hate people asking where you're going

Even if you're doing nothing wrong, having to explain each and every one of your movements on a daily basis can get tiresome.
4. You're pretty self-sufficient
You feel like an independent individual who is more than capable of booking your own doctor's appointments.
5. You want to have friends over to do illegal activities
Mom, please may I smoke a joint?

6. You want to have sex...
And not worry about who could be in the house or who might walk in on you.
7. You fight with your parents all the time
At some point in everyone's life, there comes a stage when your family are all mature enough to hold their own in an argument. It's not because you hate each other, it's because you're living different lives.
8. It's easier to ditch college
If they're not living with you, they can't tell you when to go to college. Genius.
9. You have a friend in a similar position
Nothing excites you more than the idea of moving in with a good friend. Far too many lazy days to be had, sitting in front of the TV doing fuck all. Can't wait.
10. There's no space for your shit
You come home from college and you're living out of a suitcase, because a member of your family has taken all your wardrobe space. Being at home just seems like a big fucking effort, so why bother?
