02/19- 02/25 Regrets

It was very warm this week. When I went on a walk on Wednesday I saw the small purple flowers that always grow at the first sign of spring. On Friday I hit nine months on T ^_^

This week I have been thinking a lot about my college choices and I have been regretting what I did do. Instead of going to Colorado State University- my dream school- I wen to the university in the town where I live. I mostly did it out of money, but I feel like I also need time to adjust to new things and was scared of moving far away. I have big aspirations and I feel like I'm limiting myself by staying here. Like, their ecology, conservation, and evolutionary biology program is okay, but it can't possibly be the same as a university that's within an hour of a national park. Sometimes I feel like I'm so frugal that I neglect things that will bring me joy. Sure, Colorado State will be way more than where I'm currently going to, but I think that I will get a bigger return on it. I also think that I'm missing out on a the quintessential college experience of being a new, unfamiliar place and adjusting to it. Right now, I just go to class, go to work, and go home.

I'm debating going to CSU next fall instead of continuing with my current place but I don't know. It's such a big and scary jump, and so sudden too. But I feel like I'll be limiting myself if I don't get this push.

I just need to get through this week and then it's spring break.
