Darian Dozier is an osteopathic medical student who lives in Houston, Texas and runs the blog After graduating college in Oklahoma and unexpectedly losing her job, Dozier decided to move back in with her parents while she prepared for grad school.
If you get a degree in the humanities, like I did, or you want a job where you can help people, then you may not have a plethora of $60,000 jobs lined up either. You're almost in a state of limbo, waiting for someone to send you that "You're accepted!" or "You're hired!" email. That was me, for a whole year.
When I lived by myself, coming home whenever was just something I did. Normally my friends and I went to a bar or party, grabbed some food on the way home, and ate it in our beds until we fell asleep. The opposite couldn't be more true being an adult kid in my parent's basement. If my music got too loud, I would quickly get a text saying to turn it down. If my friends came over, they were on their best behavior. I also had to keep in mind "Can I walk out the house looking like this without raised eyebrows?" If the answer was anything other than yes or maybe, I was changing, regardless of how cute my outfit was.
Plus, nothing beats family time. Not only did I move back in with my family, but I got quarantined with them as well. Talk about too much togetherness.
So she had no other choice
thanks
