Expect the unexpected

Ever since last November (my 1 and only visit to Western Illinois University ) I have been playing around with the idea to further my education past just the plain old associates degree. At first it was a slam-dunk idea, and then I started to question myself.

Could I handle being hours away from my family/friends?

Could I live with random twenty-somethings in a college town?

Would I live alone?

How often would people visit?

Is this the right thing to do at the age of 25?

Will I survive?

The last one is by far the most important to me because I am not a quitter. Once I start something I feel the need to follow it through until the end. Everyone knows this about me, but I am legitiamly afraid that I would throw in the towel the first week I feel alone. Basically, I don't handle the alone thing well at all, so it would be rough.

Am I ready for a new journey in life or should I just be happy that I was the only child that will be able to say I graduated from college, even if its just from the dinky community college?



This has been on my mind non-stop, so I made a decision.

Apply!

We will see if I get accepted and if I do I will decide then if it is really what I want to do.

If seems like fun, but I am a hard one to please.
