Live independent: Bane or Boon

In today’s world, young adults prefer to live independently..They are more interested in learning to live and lead an independent life..They feel that when they live with their parents, their parents restrict them from doing things which they want to do and from behaving the way the young want to behave..So they start living independently as they want their own privacy..Some live independently as not to be a burden to their parents and to explore and to know the world on their own..To earn their living and to handle money from their own hands not depending on their parents..

There are also a few instances when the young have to live independently i.e. when they get their admission in another college which is in another place or far away from their house so they take an apt nearby to their college to save time from travelling to great distances..But living independently has a few disadvantages as it may lead to irresponsible behaviour like coming to their room late after having a party or something even though they did not complete their homework for college next day..There is no one to restrict to tell them who is allowed to come and go into their apartment..They will have a sense of freedom to do things that they should not do like drinking, smoking, drugs, etc as there are no parents to restrict them..

But in the past even a few young adults in the present generation, young adults lived with their parents from a longer time..Even after marriage they live with their parents as a combined family and share their earnings with their whole family..A few young adults who live with their parents become irresponsible as they feel that their parents are supporting them and fulfil all their needs so they no need to work..They are a few who feel that their dreams are suppressed when they live with their parents as their parents have some expectations from their children, so the adult suppress his/her dream in order to fulfil their parents dream..But suppressing their dreams will lead to conflicts which in turn will lead to disintegration of their family thereby the young adults start to live independently..

There are also a few instances when the young have to live independently i.e. when they get their admission in another college which is in another place or farther from their house so they take an apartment nearby to their college to save time from travelling to great distances..But living independently has a few disadvantages as it may lead to irresponsible behaviour like coming to their room late after having a party or something even though they did not complete their homework or college next day..There is no one to restrict or to tell them who is allowed to come and go into their apt..They will have a sense of freedom to do things that they shouldn’t do like drinking, smoking, drugs, etc as they are no parents to restrict them..

I have always aspired to live independent and lead a personal life..Dint get much of a chance in my early life but in college I finally got my space..Staying away from home managing on the limited resources and managing my time, it’s a great feeling that I’m having..Moreover I am doing things that I never could do when I was at home..I learnt swimming, something that is a strict NO-NO at my house..I’ve joined a dance troop which I was never able to do at home as my dancing was always made fun of and given that ‘Boys can’t dance’ look by everyone in my family..I dint tell my family members about these college out spurts and hope to keep them a secret unless and until they read my blog someday..

Therefore, I opine that there are both advantages as well as disadvantages of living independently as well as living with their parents. In my opinion I think that the young adult can live independently when he/she reaches a certain age and is mature enough to understand and to be on his/her own and wants privacy, then only can he/she can start to live independently..

A Newlywed Bride!!

The following are the excerpts from the diary of a newlywed bride. A young wife..!!

Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home.
It's fun to cook for Tim. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe said, "Beat 12 eggs separately." Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in; the cake turned out fine though.

Tuesday:
We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing." So I didn't dress. But Tim happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them; I think it was the salad. 

Wednesday:
I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, "wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming the rice. It sounded kinda silly in the middle of the day; I can't say it improved the rice anyhow.

Thursday:
Today Tim asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe.
It said, “Prepare ingredients, and then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." I hunted all over the place for a garden and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. Tim came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work; I'll try to be supportive.

Friday:
Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it." I did beat it, to my mum's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again; it looked the same as when I left it.

Saturday:
Tim went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed back on the farm, but I found an old doll dress and its little cute shoes. I thought the hen looked really cute. When Tim saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed because of his work, or he wanted the chicken to dance. When I asked him what was wrong he started crying and shouting out "Why me? Why me?"; Hmmm...It must be his job.
