My boyfriend is graduating from Marine boot camp, and I would absolutely love to be able to go. I will be a month away from 17, a junior in high school. His parents and brother are also driving down there from Massachusetts, where we live. If you were my parents, would you let me drive there without you, in my own car, and I paid for everything? (I have a job, I’m very responsible..I get good grades, don’t get in trouble, etc, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t trust me)
My mother and I are not speaking, but I need some advice on a major desicion to make. I am 22 and have a 4 year old daughter.
I planned on moving to New York to attend a school out there by January as I am just 4 classes away from completing my Associate.
I have my school choices out there in New York (Ithaca, Utica, L.I.U. Pace)
Here in Massachusetts, which is where I live, my only college choice is Emerson.
If I move to New York I would be all alone, I don’t know any one out there, my family is all in Massachusetts (Boston). I am 22 and live with my mother, I think I am ready to venture out and fend for myself.
My mother was supposed to move with me and we would all live together (mom, me, and brother) but mom and I are not on speaking terms right now. Which is crazy, I think I am ready to get out of here.
I plan on working 40+ hours this fall to get up enough money to move and find an apartment (in either New York or Boston) but I do not know what I am going to do for a job if I go to New York. I know I would have at least enough money for 2 months rent before I move.
I feel as though I am suffocating her in Massachusetts, and at the same time I love it. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life here like so much of my family. I really just feel as though I need to leave. But is it a smart move.
Should I stay here in Massachusetts or just leave it all behind in try New York.
