<prompt> Human: Hi, everyone. Im an 18 year-old who just graduated high school a couple weeks ago. My parents, older brother, and I always got into violent fights, which usually ended in me being pretty badly beat up, and my parents kicked me out after I finished HS. I live in Orange County Garden Grove, if thats important.Im currently attending the local community college, majoring in Psychology, and Im hoping to eventually become something in the medical field someday. I get financial aid, so I only pay about 50 per class. I have to pay for my textbooks, but I can rent most of them for around 50. Im also working part-time at Dominos fifteen hours a week for 9 an hour. Right now, Im living at one of my high school friends house, but Id really like to get a cheap apartment, as I kinda feel uncomfortable mooching off somebody for free. I think I can afford around 300 a month on rent. I know, thats not a lot. I have all the paperwork and identification papers, like my passport, drivers license, birth certificate. I also own a set of clothes, a smartphone, an old laptop, and a 2004 Toyota Camry. I just need advice on what to do from here to establish myself as independent and self-sufficient. Thanks, guys!  <response>: I doubt your friend would consider it mooching if you offered 300mo to stay there. Your own apartment would be great but I bet youre not considering utilities and furnishings on top of whatever cheap rent you could find.
