For once, just once, I want a normal Week. A week where NOTHING happens. Dammit. Alright so my ex-fiance's uncle who is hosting sort of a trip im going on offered me a job. He will pay for the rest of my college that isnt covered by scholarships, pay me a great wage at something i love. I'll be able to travel how i want (the job is mostly/all traveling once i get out of college). Basically the deal is i work here till i graduate, and then i work with him full time. Firstly, I didnt think it could happen this fast and secondly, there are a couple problems. 1) I know i have issues with my parents but at the end of the day they are my parents and i dontk now if i could be away from them for long periods of time.2) I have a boyfriend, fella, guy, lover type thing and yes, ok, so i may not be with him in 2 years when i do graduate, i dont want to just never be able to see him!3) Its to perfect, something has to be wrong with it. Am i just freaking out? I mean, this is what i have been working for my whole life and i cant just suddenly forget everything but i never expected to have a life and friends when this oppurtinity arose. Dammit. I know im being stupid about its.

Roxy Baby.......Life is full of choices. If I were you, I would take the ride for as far as it goes and if it should go south, then jump off and wait for a north bound train. Don’t worry about the things you can’t control today. Worry about them when you get there……Just take the chance that seems to be too good. but don’t be too trusting along the way. Beware and watch out for the wolf in lambs clothing….

Thanks, that actually makes me feel a lot better. whats the worst that can happen? i mean, this is an amazing chance. I kill myself about worry about stupid details like boyfriends.

However it finally works out, you will kick yourself for the rest of your life if you pass up that opportunity. If your boyfriend loves you, he will want you to do it.

Go for it!
In reply to:
they are my parents and i dontk now if i could be away from them for long periods of time
You don't want to live with your parents all your life, do you? At some point you need to leave the nest and stand on your own feet.

Go for it girl, you will ALWAYS regret it if you don't.
-
You go Roxy!We'll all be here for you when you need to talk about it too. Stressed out about it or not....Good Luck and have fun....

Ill let ya in on two secrets.1 the life plan isnt to b there to take care of your parents for ever, make your own way and do well by your parents. parent want thier children to be happy, and more sucessful then they were, that when ya know you did a good job raising them.2 life is regret, the only regrets i have now are the things I didnt try that i wish I woud have. Things I wish I had said or done that I can never get back. i dont regret anythig I ever did it all that shit that I wish I had done and stood by and let it go.my uncle lives in Cali and his parents were here in Utah. he moved there after college and he saw them a few times a year, they came there he came here. when they died he was right back out here for funerals and shit, when they were in the hospital he was here. They never stopped being a family just because of the miles between them. They wer always proud of what he became and who he was and considered him a success because of his accomplishments. You now have a chance to do what you wnat for aliving and have school paid for ending any worry about inishing for lack o funding with less stress on you and your parents.Do you really want to live the rest of your life regretting what you might of been over this one choice instead of living who you fel you are because you took the chane?Take the job, if it goes to shit, you can always quit. there is still vacations and holidays and days off to see the people you want to see.take the ride, feel the rush, grab that son of a bith called life by the reigns when the chance is there to do so and go for a ride instead of letting it trample your ass into the ground.

Ok everybody answered but... I'm going to put my two cents in anyway Are you kidding?! Don't make me wack you! Lovey dovey, fella, sweetie, pumpkin pie boyfriend or not. Like the other one said before if he really loved you he wouldn't hesitate to let you go. Parents are parents and you must love them whether you like it or not. I'm sure they'll support you all the way. It does sound too perfect though. But so did this thing about me going to Japan for 2 weeks. I thought I'd have to wait till I'm 18 because people laughed in my face when I said I wanted to go. Now I'm still bouncing off walls and rubbing it in the faces of Japanese haters. One more step to dictatorship muahaha. This is a sign that things are going to go really well and really smooth for you. I envy you. And hate you. Good luck
