Hey lovers. So, I'm going to throw some options out at you, and you're going to throw some back.
I don't get alot of comments on this blog but I know people read it and know me and my situation and I honestly don't know what to do. So please, comment. Be honest.
Here are my options:
A) Stay in Provo. Deal with seeing my ex and being reminded of my ex everywhere. Deal with my crap dayjob and not being able to go to school this semester. Just work and suck it up.
B)Move to Idaho. Try to make Sammy's in Rexburg work. Deal with the weather and moving hassle.
C)Move to Sacramento. Live with Nikki and the girls. Work and save up so I can afford school next semester
D)Move to San Diego. Get an apartment vs. live at home?
subquestion:
No matter where I move, should I keep paying rent on this place? I really want to live here when I come back in January, so I don't want to risk losing the lease. Plus, I don't want to move all my crap so I could use this room as storage. Or would that not be worth the money?
Bleh.
I don't know.
I need you.
I'm up for other options, too.

Writer Girl - you are gifted. My vote is always for school. Stay, go to school, keep the good apt., keep the crap job until something better comes along. So what if you see the ex? And by the way, we've never gotten a good story about the end of Mancandy and I am up for a good tale.
So Im a stranger that reads your blog. Happened upon it a while back and think that you are hilarious. So I think you are incredible talented! I always vote for school too.
But, I live in eastern Idaho and went to Ricks/BYUI. When I read that they may open a Sammys in Rexburg I was sooo excited. Have to say, Im orginally from the south and have fallen in love with this crazy windy snowy place. Im a stay at home mom with 2 little girls and a third baby on the way. I could totally use a pie shake!!
So I will give you the typical Mormon response. Pray about it. ;) Good luck.
stay at byu. find someone better than the mancandy and if you run into him just show off the new guy. and at least be glad you have a job? lots don't. let the crappy day job just give you inspiration to write funny blog posts etc for us all to enjoy :)
stay in ottah. keep going to school and find joy in the journey at work. find a new mancandy that will be wonderful to you. brooke your a fabulous girl it won't be too hard for you to find a new boy who'll fall for you.
brooke, you need to come over so we can chat thuroughly about this.. but i think you know what my response is going to be. 1: there's honestly no where better to meet single dudes with what you're looking for than here (yes, there are lots of crappy ones, but there are also more good ones in the area then in all of SD combined i think). B: it would cost you more money to ship yourself out of here to go anywhere, than is worth it... you might as well stay put and not waste the money, ESPECIALLY since you want to stay in your apt! NO BRAINER! anyway.. we can discuss reasons letter 3 through #X later. call me, let's hang.
hey now, SD has some pretty good guys.
take out student loans if you need to so that you can keep going to school and stay busy. i spent a lot of time wasting in college because i was worried about the debt. then i realized that i have to make my life go somewhere, so i took out loans and furthered my college career and now i can do whatever i want. i also did a lot of moving around and it got me nowhere. if you stay in one place and try to make things work, you will learn a lot, make more solid friends, etc. i know its so hard at this point in life.
Hmmm.. I wouldn't move to Sacramento, because I live in Sacramento and it is boring as hell. I would vote for Provo, but not for the obvious reasons. I hate moving (which is why I'm still living in this god-forsaken place) and I would love to live in a place where there are tons of other people my age. Stay in Provo, keep your apartment, and write that novel of yours. (I have exes running all over Provo too - nbd).
I say, suck it up. You like it in Utah, you've been doing good there. If you move away with the intentions to just come back next semester, you'll still be reminded of your ex, and yes, I really want the back story on why that ended too. Everyone has crappy jobs, it pays good, deal with it. Use that time to increase a skill, writing or whatever.
In the long run, what is your ultimate goal? do you want to continue with school or find a job and not return? Stick it out, Honey. It will be good for you!:)
I'm an alum of BYU, and since graduating 8 years ago, have become pretty liberal...especially for an LDS gal. Looking back on my BYU days, I wish I would have stopped freaking out about all the boy drama, (I had my fair share of cute boys...none were BYU students mind you!)and focused more on my studies, and surroundings. I wish I would have taken advantage more of the LDS resources that were available. (ie- temples, devotionals, firesides, etc)I was so focused on having a hot boyfriends, looking super trendy and cute, and making money, that I forgot why I left San Diego and moved to Provo in the first place. Now that I'm back in cali, with two kids and a sweet non-member husband...there are days that I wish I was 19 living in Provo again. Good luck!! :)
