So what is the hardest thing about moving out on my own? Not cooking, cleaning or even paying the rent, but the lack of company. The comforting background noises of home which had been around me since birth suddenly disappeared - the chatter and bickering of parents, noises of cookware in the kitchen, a TV program kept on for someone else. Even the loud footsteps of siblings which once annoyed me became part of a fond memory. It's no wonder that in universities, foreign and out-of-province students are the most active participants in student clubs and organized events. Notwithstanding the fact that they're looking for new friends, there is also a void to fill in their new apartment life.
