Living at home

I still live at home while I´m at uni, it has some advantages and also some disadvantages. The first advantage is that I don´t have to wash my own clothes. A disadvantage is that I have to travel longer than I would have when I would be living in a room in Utrecht. It´s not a big disadvantage though because it takes me around forty minutes to get to school. I don´t find it that much of a deal to travel for forty minutes. Also when I want to go to a party in Utrecht, I need to make sure I can sleep at someone else. Otherwise I would have to go home in the middle of the night, using the bus to Zeist and then go on by bike to Driebergen. This really is one of the big disadvantages of living at home in Driebergen. I guess I´m lucky, most of the time I don´t struggle to find a place to sleep in Utrecht. An advantage of living at home is my parents paying for most of my food. It would have been a disadvantage if I didn´t like my mother´s cooking skills, but fortunately that´s not the case. I personally don´t find it a disadvantage that you have to deal with your parents, but I can imagine someone else does. My parents are very easy and I´m not restricted to any rules at all. Also a huge advantage is that I can use my mother´s car. The only condition is that I ask for it and of course that I drive save. Since I´ve got my driver’s license I really am enjoying driving. These are some of the advantages and disadvantages I came across living at home, I hope you enjoyed them!
