Woah it's my four-year Shardiversary.
I'm not nearly as active anymore as I used to be, but I'm forever grateful for the friendships and community this site provided me back when I was active, and especially for the friendships that have lasted, some of which have even turned into irl friendships.
Sure, this site might also have led to a rough and traumatic experience, but that honestly fades to irrelevance when compared with everything else that's a part of my life because of Brandon Sanderson and this fansite.
Love you guys :)))

Okay so. I have two options.ย
ย
1: live in my college town for the summer, it would be $775 plus utilities (about $25/month) for the full summer. I'd have to pay for my own gas and buy my own food. I would continue working my current job, which doesn't have very regular hours, but it pays pretty well. I would also want to get a more regular job, maybe at a thrift store or a coffee/drink shop or a cute little local restaurant. I would be near a lot of my college friends, so I could do things with them and continue wearing my less "modest" outfits and going by a more gender-neutral nickname sometimes and using multiple pronoun sets and just in general continue figuring myself out in that way.
ย
2: move back in with my parents. Free housing, free food, they'd probably even pay for my gas, I'd already have a regular, well-paying job that I mostly enjoy lined up, and I could try out for a production of Aida that would also pay. But I would either have to act like the version of me that my parents knew from when I was in high school, or let them meet this version of me when I'm not even sure I like this version of me and I'm actively trying new things to figure myself out. I know everyone is always a "rough draft" of themselves, but my current draft feels especially rough, and I don't feel ready for my parents to see it. There have already been times just over phone calls where it's felt like my parents and I are on the brink of a breaking point regarding my identity, and if I live with them over the summer it'll be even more difficult.ย
ย
However, my program is also next year incorporating travel opportunities, so next year I could travel with a faculty mentor to New York, and the following year to London. I would, however, have to pay my own way. So, saving money by going home would be really helpful for that. But is it worth it if I would be living a lie all summer??
ย
Oh and I need to decide by Tuesday, because the girl whose lease I'd be buying if I stay needs to know by then.
ย
Any input/advice is welcome, lmk if you have any questions lol

my brain completely skipped over the part where you said that you can continue living by your college friends and continue going by a gender-neutral name and having multiple pronoun sets
I change my mind now, mainly because I struggle with that sort of thing as well
you said that your current job pays well, and that you're planning on getting a second job
and it's $25 dollars a month...
I think you should stay in your college town
-
Another question: Would it be NECESSARY to go home to get enough money to do all the traveling things you'd want to do starting next year, or just HELPFUL?
-
Oh totally forgot that I posted about that decision on here lol, I ended up deciding to stay in my college town!
