I need to get out of OKlahoma. What you guys don't know is that I've never been past the state line, not even for a vacation or anything. This place is just extremely confining and knowing that this state is going into, basically, a depression and that my current job is the best I'm gonna get really makes me want out.
My friends are a unique issue in this though....If I were to leave, I'd feel like I was abandoning them (most don't have computers for e-mail) and I'd miss them severely, but at the same time, they're one of the reasons I'd want out. I love my friends and I hate them all at the same time.
But how does someone just up and move to a new town? I can't figure that out. Do you just move there, then hope you can get a job to support yourself, or what? Not to mention I'm not sure what kind of pay it takes to support yourself outside of this state. I make $9.00 an hour and that nets me enough that I'll be able to keep an apartment by myself.
If I could, I'd just try and get into a college outside of OK, but I'm not sure what I could do for that. I might have to take the ACT's again, which I really don't want to do. That and scholarships would be out of the question at this point, I think...So that means selling my soul for student loans..
I really envy people who have a viable passion in life. My only passion is knowledge. You can't really turn that into a job though. If I had an idea of what I wanted in life then maybe I'd be able to get up and get out easier. I just know that I'm only going to stagnate here.
