Okay, so I have had the remainder of today to cool off and stop freaking out about the random overabundance of snow that fell from the sky last night. Now I’m starting to think logically about my plan and how if I stick it out just one more year, I will be finished with school, no complications. Just one more year. There are upsides to waiting and there are downsides. The upsides, however, are more clear to me now that I am really thinking about it.
If I do go through with leaving as soon as I can, then I will miss out on very special events like helping/watching my best friend’s first baby’s first year and helping/watching my little brother graduate from high school. I will also miss out on living with Angie for our 4th & final year here at GV. She is thee best roommate, hands down, that anyone could ever ask for. I can’t just up & leave her! That’d be awfully rude. Staci and Angie (my best friends) and Scott (my little brother) are so important to me. To up and leave on account of my true hate for winter seems a bit extreme. Well, of course it’s extreme. That’s how I always do/think. There’s never a happy medium.
However, I need to consider how beneficial it would be, realistically, for me to leave asap, or to hold out one more year and just finish school here. I’ve made it three years and complained my way through each winter thus far. What’s one more? It should be easier by now. I already signed the lease for my apartment next year. There’s just so many little details and big money concerns, that I don’t think my dream plan of just leaving asap would be all that smart. The money isn’t the issue though, it’s the people I’ll be leaving behind if I do go. And for that reason, now that I’ve calmed myself down & really thought it over, I will grin and bare one more dreadful winter because my brother & my best friends mean more to me than anything, and the stupid snow & bitter coldness is not going to change that! In fact, nothing can/will ever change that.<3
