I’ve been in a relationship for four years. For our second year of dating we had to have a long distance relationship because I still had to finish my senior year of high and had to move because my dad received a promotion at work. For our third year, I moved back to where I originally lived so I could be closer to my boyfirnd and start my first year of community college. Well, since this fall I have moved back to where my parents move to do my second and last year of community college because I didnt really see any colleges in my home state that I wanted to go to. Now, being with my boyfriend this long the distance has become terribly emotional for me, so I’m thinking of moving back to finish my last semester of community and go to the same college as my boyfriend. The only thing is that the college he is planning to go to is not as good as the one I moved back to transfer to. The tuitions are similar, his school being slightly cheaper. To me, I want to be with him but I know transferring to this better school will give me better opportunities. I’m also working as a paid intern, which is a bit valuable because of the experience. But, his school is financially cheaper and we can start our life together. We do have a really great relationship, especially after the first year we spent away from each other.
My heart wants to be back with my boyfriend but my head is saying to stay and transfer to the school with better education. I know I have to be the one making this decision but I feel like there’s a piece I’m missing that’s going to push me in one direction.
