Just thought Id share this happy experience with everyone...

[Melo]

So the last few days have held a lot of major decisions for me. Ive decided that I am not happy at school, I'm not happy in this town, and I am not happy with my major. So if I am not happy, whats the point in me staying? There isn't much of one. My parents and I all think I am making the right decision to come home for a semester and rethink things. Now I'll have time to really figure out what I want to do with my life, and what I need to do to be happy.

Anyways, I broke the news to the boyfriend last night that I would be moving a good 45 minutes away from him. He was trying not to sound upset, but I could tell that it really hurt him for me to leave. I made sure to let him know, though, that I really needed to do this to be happy, and that I was still going to come see him, etc etc.

He wrote me an email today while I was at band: "anyway, it sucks your moving on back to Katy, but I'll remain at your side where I've stayed since day 1. I love you too..."

I think I found a keeper. Melo's happy.

Before this thread heads south, I'll tell you that I moved home for a semester between Junior College and going to UNT, and it did a world of good. I worked, saved some money and cleared my head.

Course, I didn't feel the need to share it with a bunch of strangers on the internet.

You were wearing that dress when you told him, weren't you?

You're not strangers! Well, you are. BUT SOME OF YOU ARENT! I mean, there are a number of you on here who are 'dad' status, SicEm fills the 'online friend who is a girl' status, Doleo fills the 'guy you talk to just so you can feel smarter' status, PG fills the 'other wierdo girl who posts here who, while we never talk to each other directly, still is rather admired by the less older wierdo girl who posts here' status.

See? Family and friends. Mmhm.

That's true.

But everybody else thinks you suck.

Sorry.

[Melo]

You were wearing that dress when you told him, weren't you?

Nope. Actually, I looked a mess, with make up all over from crying, hair pulled back and recovering from a day spent at home with no where to go. I was a sad day.

Sorry.

Thats cool. Youre on my list of 'SO posters who are SOOOOOO gay'. I forgot to mention those people.

[TexasSooner01]

I am glad you are taking some time off for yourself. Good Luck Melo.

Whatever. You still played his "machismo" card.

[Pricetag]

Whatever you do, don't get a job waiting tables during your "semester off." Those people tend to find themselves in the same place five years later.

Melo, welcome to 18 years old.

*sigh*
I'm not 18 anymore. Haven't been for awhile.

I'm just happy that finally something is happening. I never thought I would be the kid changing my mind with what I wanted to do.

take your time. Nobody ever really knows what they want to do with their life...just that whatever it is, they want to be filthy rich. Especially at 18-22.

Sit back, work a little, enjoy life, and then if and when you decide to go back to school, do so with some clear goals in mind, and also the realization that at some later point, you may again decide that you are not where you want to be...so stay flexible. This kind of stuff happens to everyone at some point, and often multiple times.
