Too Comfortable...

[jabberwocky629]

I am worried that I am becoming too comfortable here.  I like not paying rent or food-obviously.  I like my job.  I have amazing new friends that I have made and become close to in about as short amount a time as I ever have.  I don't usually make friends so easily.  But the people I have been hanging out with are this weird mix of friends from the

I think that you need to go to maui. Everything that is here now will still be here when you come back. But I have seen it happen to way to many of my smart brilliant friends: they think, well I'll just stay home for a while, Ill leave someday... and they just dont. Think about what an exciting opportunity hawaii is going to be for you. Hell, I wish it's something I culd do. You might never get to do something like this again. Its rare that you can actually say, Im going to pick up and leave for awhile. I know how tempting it is to stay home and be comfortable, but sometimes you have to push a little outside your comfort zone to get to the best opportunities. Youre so smart and talented and amazing and I just want to see you get out there and try something. Anyways. Thats just what i think. You should call me or something if you ever need to talk, i promise ill listen to both sides and also i just want to talk to/see you again soon. Maybe like teusday dec 9th we could go to dland or something. LOVE.

I know I would be comfortable in Minneapolis, and it would be nice to hang out with my mom and my best friend. But I know that I would regret it if I didn't go and have the big after college adventure I always dreamed of, so I've decided that no matter what, by next September I will be in Australia (or beyond). Also, before I went abroad, part of me didn't want to leave. I had awesome friends at Oxy, I liked living in the WC, and they were offering really cool classes in the spring. I knew I could have a good semester if I stayed. Btu I went anyways, and it was pretty much the best decision I ever made. I'm a firm believer in having no regrets, no matter what decision you make, but I find that the best way to have no
