So today was nothing more than a boring day as usual. I woke up did some studying, some homework, and basically just thought about stuff; tons of stuff. I found myself in a different type of situation than ever, as the days are slowly coming to and end to the deadline of june 1st. I began to realize more of the decisions that would be placed upon me and how I am really not sure of what is right for me to pick, and what are the real reasons that I am trying to leave such a place. I keep seeing how many things I will endure, sacrifice, and leave behind. I am now more confused than ever, and of course I am already getting ahead of myself, my back-up schools have already accepted me in, and the one I am worrying about has yet to give me answer.
In one corner lies the city of la Jolla California, where I stand 2 hours away from home, with a highly respected university that promises me insight into the world of economics, and foreign relations.
Pros
1.) Closer to home
2.) High Ranking University
3.) Friends/Family at reach
4.) Doctorate in Economics
Cons
1.) Remain dependent
2.) Studying Economics
In the other corner I have Boston, Massachusetts wherein lies a 5 hours plane ride back home, an incredibly respected and prestigious university, and the promise of mass communications in public relations concentrating in marketing, and advertising.
Pros
1.) Studying Marketing/Adv.
2.) Doctorate in Marketing
3.) High Ranking/Prestigious University
4.) Independence
5.) University Town
6.) Chance of a lifetime
7.) Explore outside of my limits, and comfort zone
Cons
1.) 5 hour plane ride home
2.) Breaking bonds
3.) Loosing the comfort of home
4.) Weather
5.) Leaving California
From these two distinct lists I still have yet to make a final decision; the thing that hurts me the most that is that I can only blame myself if my decision comes back and bites me in the ass. I have have played out both scenarios in my head, tried to realize which one will benefit me the most and which one will make "me" the happiest. I still have yet to realize where I belong.
And yet again I am still thinking too much of things, and ahead of myself since the deadline is june 1st and I am already stressing about it, well I have been stressing about this matter for the past 4 months I would say, and now the stress is heavily affecting me.
