If I could offer a young person advice about anything it would be do NOT make life decisions based on your boyfriend or girlfriend. Girls especially. Do NOT stay close to home for him, do not skip opportunities to travel or study abroad, do not pick a safe college to be with him. Expand your horizons. Broaden your own life. He is not the world.

I want everyone who disagrees with this post to come back to me in a couple years and tell me how that shit worked out.

As someone who did this a few years back, it didn’t work out, it was not worth it, I’ve learned that my personal success is more important than putting my future on hold for someone I most likely won’t be talking to in a year.
