Hard for me to stay in one place long enough!

HI Allnurses.

I am from the west coast and 6 months ago I moved to east coast for school. I did summer school and got an A but now I'm starting to be concerned that I don't like the East Coast that much. I have made some good girl friends here and shown myself I can be a good student again. But overall, I enjoy the weather and scenery better on the West Coast. Spending the rest of my life on the East Coast does not sounds like something I want to do. I am already enrolled in school here sooo should I just stay here and finish my BA??? Or should I move back to the West Coast to stay? On the West Coast I won't have to pay rent BUT my parents house isn't exactly always a healthy environment for me. The gym is also free and convenient on the west and I will have my car which is really another added expense. I just dont know.

But I need to make a decision and stick with it. Any advice?

If you've already been there 6 mo and are doing well, I personally would probably hold off on moving back. Ultimately, the real question, how unhappy are you? What are you unhappy about? The only complaint i heard is about the weather, which is really such a minor thing.

Just because you may finish school there doesn't mean that you HAVE to stay on the east coast after you graduate. I say it's only a few years. You still have many years afterwards to find the one place you want to spend the rest of your life :)

Well honestly I don't like the public trains, excessive amount of people in general and crazy people within this population. Wages are lower than my home state and the guys I've dated here just aren't serious which could be anywhere but this city is notorious for lifetime players. Being here has given me perspective as to why my fair state is beautiful.

I wouldn't say I am super unhappy though. I am going home to visit in 2 weeks so I'll be able to better judge then.

Still I hate not being able to make up my mind.

This may be a silly point to add but if I want to find a partner to settle down with in my home state shouldn't I be there lol.

One other thing that keeps me from going back home is this overall sense of shame that I don't have a degree or a career going at my age when some of my friends do. But I know thats just a personal issue and won't be resolved till I finally stick with something. Oh the vicious cycle.
