Moving away from home can be hard, especially if you`re like me, and never even really spent the night away from home, but it can be such a rewarding experience. I moved away for college because my major wasn`t offered at any local schools, and I currently live four hours away from my hometown. I would not change my decision for anything in the world, it has helped me to become the person I have always wanted to be. At home, it was very hard for me to do things for myself because I always wanted to do things to help others out, but in the last year and a half at college I have completely transformed into my own person and I couldn`t be happier. Now, I still do a lot of stuff for other people, but I am learning to put myself first.
Moving away can also be great if you`re from a small town. My hometown has around 10,000 people and my graduating class had 73. Now, I`m in a class with 500 people and there are more students on campus than live in my hometown. It was an adjustment being around so many people, but it`s awesome. Its gives you so many opportunities to meet some amazing people
It also allows you to grow closer to your family. I know that sounds strange, how can you grow closer when you`re farther away? At home you have this abundance of time with your mom and dad, and you take it for granted. When you move away you use only get to see them once a month, maybe less depending on how far away you go, and you really learn to appreciate the small amounts of time you have with them because you know you`ll miss them like crazy when you get back to school.
It can be hard to move away, you lose friends and you miss out on some things your family does, but trust me it is so rewarding. Take that leap, move away, and have the time of your life.
