first time living on your own?

[Jixby Phillips]

This august I will be living away from home for the first time. i will be living on campus at San Fransisco State University. I am fortunate enough to have parents who will pay for this.

My friend who is also going to school in san fransisco mentioned she wants to get an apartment with me this spring (I am paid for to live on campus this semester). Which sounds cool, but I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to find a cheap enough apartment there. I could probably coax my parents into paying part of my rent (the same amount they'd be spending on me to live on campus anyway), and then I could get a job. I could use any stories or advice about this shit.
