My boyfriend and I met while he was on a football scholarship at a school close to mine. He ended up getting injured and losing his scholarship after the spring season and he couldn't afford the out-of-state tuition so he decided to go back to Arizona (where he is originally from) to graduate. We had been together for about 4 months when all of that happened so when we finished spring semester I spent the summer with him in Arizona before I had to go back to Virginia for the fall semester. We knew we had something special from the beginning and had been planning on a future together so when we realized we would have to do long distance we knew we could make it work. We are now about 7 months into the LDR and we see each other about every 6-9 weeks. He is graduating in May but I still have one year left before I am done with school. I have always been extremely unhappy at my school and not having him here with me has made it even worse. It doesn't help that I also have SAD and cold rainy days have been an everyday thing around here lately. I love what I am studying but I can't shake the feeling that I could study those things anywhere. My school is not particularly well known and I have always felt like I needed more of a challenge.
So, to get to the point of all of this, I am highly considering making the move to Arizona to be with my boyfriend. This would involve a lot of moving parts and it would probably be the hardest thing I have ever done. I just know I would be exponentially happier with him in Arizona than I am here in Virginia. The biggest dilemma I have is that I would probably have to take a year off of school to establish myself as a resident in order to get in-state tuition at a school in Arizona. We planned on being together in Arizona after I finished school anyways so becoming a resident isn't as much the issue as taking a year off of school is. We have already discussed the financial aspect and he will be pulling most of the weight until I finish school because he has a great paying job already lined up. He completely supports me finishing school and getting a job in what I love regardless of the pay. I have always been a risk taker and I love doing the unexpected but this would far exceed anything I have ever done before.
I guess what I want to get from posting this is to see if people think I am crazy. You only live once, right??
