This summer, i left Pennsylvania to go to wyoming to work as a waitress in a seasonal job at a resort outside of Yellowstone. While i was there, I fell in love with a fly fishing guide who worked at a nearby ranch, and i fell in love with my co workers (they became like my family) and the mountains. When i left i literally cried the whole way home. Now I have to return to school (i’m enrolled in a four year University) and i’m dreading the thought of it. Especially since the man i met out west has recently called my parents to ask their permission to marry me. I would rather be anywhere right now than going back to school, and doing the whole cookie cutter college thing like everyone else. I want to go back out west and follow my fisherman where ever he goes and just work at the lodges that he works at. I know the smart thing is to be in school, but i do not want to be unhappy there, but i would like to have an education someday. what should i do? i’m so confused and would love advice.
