I think most people who enter into a shared living situation understand that it has to end at some point. I'd just simply tell them that I've seriously enjoyed my time with them, but it's time to move onto the next step. They'll understand.
If they're worried about finding someone to replace you, you can always help them out a bit with that as well.
Tell your roommate that you are going to get your own place. Tell her that you will make sure that your half of the bills are paid and that she has a certain amount of time to find a new room mate. If she asks why, try to be honest unless it will hurt her feelings.
This question has me to believe that all though you are having trouble with your roommate, you still respect her friendship. If that is the case, just tell her that you are ready to do it on your own now.
My roommates started to suspect that the time I was spending at my boyfriend's apartment was a little more than a new love "phase," and so we had a couple brief discussions about me moving out long before our lease will be up. After a few mentions of, "I think I'll just be moving in with Jack when our lease is up this time," I came home one night to, "I'm going back to school and moving in with my mom! " The other roommate has already started looking for apartments with another friend.
Giving it time was the most important thing in my situation. I've lived with the same roommates for almost three years, and we still had 5 months on our lease when I began making mention that I probably wouldn't renew this time. We're all friends and we knew it wouldn't last forever, so all three of us just made plans to move on in life.
I think everyone's a little sad about it, but it came about in a way that it's really exciting for all of us too.
My roommate just applied to a nursing school program going on this summer in another city. I'd known for awhile that she wanted to do it, but she finally just kind of mentioned, " I got accepted to that nursing school I applied to, so I guess I'm moving to Mobile. " As long as you have a reason, your roommate won't (can't!) get mad at you.
I'm totally happy for mine. :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
