(Although this may all change once the 'tutor led project'* starts :S)

Really?
My perception of it just a list of chores/ activities we watched our parents do for us for years. Some of us maybe became more independent sooner rather than later.
I cook, I clean, I do my own washing, I do my own ironing, I do my own washing up, I do my own hoovering, I change my own bedding, I organise my time (or not), I sort out my finances, I fight my own battles and fight for my own lonely corner.
Sounds stupid went I put it into perspective like that. Why should it be so hard? It shouldn't, should it?
I'm only just learning to be an adult, I'm 20 but I'm just not quite there yet.
