So.... I am coming to a point where I need to make a decision that could lead me down several different paths, I wanted y'all's input and advice based on your own personal experiences.
Here's what's going on.....
The last two years of my life have been amazing. I lost a ton of weight, got my insurance business up and running, transitioned (almost) out of dancing, and finally, went back to college! I just started this Summer for the first time since 2003. I feel powerful, invincible, like I could do anything and nothing is holding me back. I have a boyfriend, but he moved 4 hours away from me recently, although he may be moving back soon. I have no children, just two precious dogs.
I have been living with a roommate for the past year and a half, and she told me yesterday that she spoke to the apartment management team about getting out of our lease. She doesn't like living with my dogs, which is fine and understandable, and she wants one of us to release the other out of the lease, then we get our own apartments.
This could not have come at a better time because
- A. I didn't want to stay in Dallas for the remainder of my lease, which is up in May of 2012. I was just talked to the head of transfers for my college to start getting an out of state transfer plan together. I have been DYING to get out of Texas for a while now... my spirit will atrophy if I still in Dallas much longer.
- B. With the prior being said, I have already made arrangements about two months ago to move to Puerto Rico in mid October through the end of November. My sister is going there for school and asked me to come with her and live there (for free), so I jumped all over that.
Before my roommate told me this, I was planning on just subletting my apartment for the time I would be in PR, but now she wants to move before then, so our lease would end at the end of October, and I would have to find somewhere to live by the time I come back to the State, which is the beginning of December. This totally changes everything, for the better! Now I can just move somewhere else when I come back from PR, but the question is, where???
My entire Fall semester is online, so after this Fall I will have earned 16 credit hours in Dallas. I am wondering if I should stay in state and finish out my core curriculum and/or Associates degree, or just say Fuck it and re locate now since it would be seamless and easier. I am thinking I could take some online courses during the Spring, and maybe 1 or 2 in which ever city I end up while I establish residency there, then really hit it hard with my course load after that.
The next question is, where should I go? I was also considering just getting a fully furnished sublet in NYC for the entire month of December and dancing out there/selling insurance. What's great about my insurance license is I can just pay $20 and I'm automatically licensed in any state, so work is not an obstacle. I want to go to NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, somewhere like these. I'm sick of the South! One of my best friends asked me to come move in with her in Washington D.C., she is in the process of getting her insurance license and working with me, so that could work out extremely well. Another variable I have to factor in is my boyfriend, I don't want to go too far away from him.
So, what do you guys think? Advice?
