  What does being independent mean to you?

  I saw this featured question on the homepage and I thought this would be a good way to start my blog since I'm leaving for college tomorrow hehe. Anyways, for me being independent can mean a lot of things..like:

  • standing up for yourself
  • living on your own
  • making your own decisions
  • choosing your own path in life
  • being yourself
  • loving and accepting yourself
  • not buying things just because they're "in"
  • doing stuff without needing anybody's help
  • knowing the consequences of your actions
  • not needing anyone to make yourself happy

  These are things I hope to learn/continue in college. My dad's always telling me I'm too dependent. I guess he's right. I'm always relying on people. I think this is because I had a nanny to take care of me and do things for me since I was born until I was 12 years old. Also, I'm an only child so my parents tend to spoil me. I really hope being away from home can help me become independent. I know my parents (especially my dad) will be very proud of me. They wouldn't keep asking me "What will happen once we're gone?" again and again.

  I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
