Decisions, Decisions.
Talked with Taylor today, and it made me consider a few things. I definitely need a change of scenery. Where Seattle used to be awesome before, lately it’s become stifling. I love my parents, but I need to get away, I need my freedom. There isn’t a job market for me here. I hate to say it, but once my dad is gone, my mom will most likely move to Chicago, and I would go with her. Other than Kaelen and Ali, there isn’t anything really for me here.
So as much as I love Cornish, I am not happy about how focused it is - I’d do well in a conservatory like Cornish, but I also know I would always wonder about what could have been if I’d had other options. It’s more expensive than OSU also, which wouldn’t make a difference, except that if I’m having doubts about it at all, I don’t want to do something I will regret, again. I’m worried that I convinced myself that I liked it because it’s easy, not because I actually want it.
While OSU isn’t uber famous, it’s a good school, and I really like it. For once, I could go to a school that has endless options regarding sports, music, and people. It’s close to my extended family, and closer to my best friends. It’s big, so I get the anonymity I want, with a small program, so I get the attention I need. But it still has all the options in case I want to take classes in the other areas I am interested in (criminology, number theory, creative writing, film, linguistics, and just about any language I could imagine.) It sucks that it’s farther away from my parents, but if I don’t get away soon, I will go nuts.
I would do well at either school. However, as it is, I’m leaning toward OSU, and I’m liking that.
