Yep, I am moving back to Maryland end of Sept. The driving plans are still up in the air as I am leaning on doing the cross country drive solo so as to not think of getting anyone with me for the ride…
My reasons for moving vary from the good and bad. Since I am feeling in a good mood at the moment I will just do the good reasons for the move:
1.) Just miss my friends and family back east too much, I want to be part of people’s stories and jokes and not just the guy people dont have any stories/pictures with
2.) With impending weddings, births, and monumental things coming up I feel it best to save myself from the travel expenses back and forth.
3.) I think I have proven to myself that I can start off on my own out here and feel it is time to come home… I honestly did not feel I could have lasted this long, but one way or another I was able to thanks in large part to being an online dork.
4.) I miss the 4 seasons and the festivals of the east coast and Washington DC area!
5.) Our apartment rent went up by $200… I really could not argue with myself about paying that much more money to just stay in San Diego and have fun.
6.) I am in a really good place at work where people regard me very highly and getting recommendations and transfer should be easy
7.) I want to start saving up lots of money to get an upgrade car, to move out once again from home, and to do more traveling… and to save up for a wedding (ok, she doesnt know it yet)
8.) Some of my best friends moved back to Maryland so it will feel like high school again
9.) I want to look at grad schools in the Maryland area
10.) My girlfriend will be in NYU and so I want to be closer to her and see where are relationship will take us
Is that enough reasons?
