You're right! It has been a long time!

And a long time since I've spoken to you! I hope things are going well for you, though it sounds like you're at a crossroads. I think the best thing you can do for yourself is, and as cheesy as it is, do what your gut tells you. There is something exhilarating about moving to a large, vibrant city, but there is also something consoling about the comforts of home (I should know; I'm relocating to Ann Arbor in August!). Also, think about your emotional and physical health - is Chicago going to improve upon that, or make it worse? Moving out of state to a location where you know few people (although I don't know your sitch, only mine) can be extremely stressful, especially if they have already made a life out there for themselves and you're starting off fresh.

Good luck with your decision!

You can be an adult without moving to Chicago, PS. :) However, Chicago is great, and you won't be too far from home.

things are good! my boyfriend was accepted to Michigan Law, hence the move. I am excited to come back and enjoy 3 more years back w/ family and friends! :) (However, the job sitch *could* be better). I definitely recommend that if you do decide to go, line up a job first! ;)
