Accommodation and Living

Despite going to university in Leicester, an hour away from where I live and a pretty easy commute, I am so set on living in the halls. This is for a few reasons;

1) An hour, although 1 bus ride, is a long time twice a day. Plus there'll be really long breaks - long enough to have nothing to do, not long enough to go all the way home and back again.

2) I don't think I can grow up if I keep living with my Mum. Chances are when I'm done with University, I'll move out anyway and I want to be able to cook, wash and looking after myself by then.

3) I want the life - I want to be able to go out at night with 5 minutes notice and not have to worry about getting home [buses to Harborough finish at 6pm and taxis cost around £50] or even getting there.

Lastly, and probably the biggest reason why,

4) I am fed up of living with my Mum

Don't get me wrong - I love my Mum, she is amazing and I wouldn't swap her for the world. On the other hand, she treats me like a 9 year old and not like a 19 year old. I get told off if I go into my brothers bedroom at 10pm and ask him a question, I get moaned at if I don't fancy dinner.

I'm worried that we'll have such a big arguement one day that it'll really ruin our relationship and I don't know how far off in the future that is.

I applied for accomodation really early, in March, as soon as the application went online. It is now August. On 17th September all students move into their accommodation. And I still haven't heard anything.

There's people from Harborough who have, people who applied after me too, and my application still says 'pending' on it.

I think I'll cry if I don't get it.

I haven't got any other options.
