Independent??

Is being independent important?? Of course it is. But somehow, some people just cant be independent. Why?? Too dependent on others? sometimes it's good to rely on other ppl but there's a limit. especially when u're away from family, u NEED to be independent. For example, taking care of ur room and urselves. Keeping ur room clean and tidy, keep ur appeareance tidy, etc.. If such small matters one cant depend on themselves to keep track, what else can that person do?For eg, my roommate, she doesnt even know how to keep her place clean.. Her cupboard is a mess. And worst of all, someone else need to help her to tidy up her cupboard. She's going to turn 21, and yet she doesnt even know how to do these stuff.. At least try doing it urselves first and then only ask for help if really cannot. She didnt even try... sigh... And she still has 5 more years to go.. But i do hope that she will learn asap how to take care of herself. If not we, her frens, will suffer...
