Decisions decisions...
Hmm there are so many things to decide upon aren't there? Some are of minimal importance, others determine how the future works out. For me? Well the minimal decision at the moment is what color to dye my hair, I keep hearing red from people and I kinda like red, maybe a wine like color? I'm not sure but either way I want to get that out of the way soon nonetheless so I can focus on more important things. Like what I'm going to do after I graduate for example. I have a few choices but I am really struggling to make a firm decision on that. It doesn't help I have about 5 months left to figure it out. So my choices are:
1)Throw all of my things into storage and go work on cruise ships for a while. This would be a "smart" choice because I could immediately start paying off my student loans and not have to worry about living expenses. However I would be gone and working all the time leaving little to no time to relax or have fun.
2)Get a job in the general Tampa area and share an apartment with a group of roommates. My roommates would be people I know and trust and get along with pretty well. I could still be paying off loans but I would have to worry about living expenses as well. However after a couple of years work experience I could jump on a cruise ship and start paying those loans off even quicker.
3)Get a job in the general Zephyrhills area and stay with my friend and her family. I get along pretty well with her family and am pretty comfortable there right now. I could still be paying off my loans and wouldn't have as many living expenses to worry about as far as I know. After a few years of restaurant experience I could throw my junk in storage and start working on cruise ships to even further help with paying off my student loans.
4)Get a job in the St.Pete area and get a place with my boyfriend. The rent would be higher and I would have to deal with living expenses in a higher number. I would also most likely have to either pay little on paying back my loans or wait until I was making enough money to start paying them off later or until I get a few years experience then go with the cruise ship idea.
Yeah it's only four choices but all of them are favorable...especially about living with my boyfriend and friends. I would much rather be happy and working a lot than working all the time and being absolutely miserable. It's only been three weeks or so since I've been separated from my boyfriend and the majority of my friends and I miss everyone...and no offense to my friends but I really miss Michael more, it's been hard since prior to the chaos we got to see each other on a daily basis and now we haven't seen each other in three weeks. Granted we get to talk on the internet and on the phone but it doesn't make up for being physically there you know? I'm still just so confused, I want to be happy but I also don't want to make the wrong choice and then throw my life into even more chaos and wreck what I'm planning to eventually do....
So any suggestions? I hate asking constantly for help but this time, I really need some sound advice...
