I don't think I've ever been more worried, nervous, undecided, and excited in my life.

I'm actually considering signing a lease for an apartment even though I haven't received my acceptance letter from Gainesville State yet. If I wait for my acceptance letter, I'll lose my spot in signing the lease. I also have a job interview on Wednesday which would greatly help with my rent. I fit all of the qualifications for Gainesville State and don't see why I wouldn't get in. I have no idea if this would be a huge mistake if I sign or not, but I really just want to take the risk. I would really really really love to live in Athens with one of my roommates being my life-long best friend and to finally catch up at school and bring my GPA up, and I would love to be a sales associate at Bath and Body Works. I can just see all of these puzzle pieces joining together, but signing this lease before either one of these things is concrete (regardless of the fact they are EXTREMELY likely) makes me just a tad bit nervous. I've gone back and forth on whether this is the right time to make this decision or if I should wait another year and just live at home and see where I am... Both choices are risks for many different reasons. My question is which one do I take?

If you have any kind of advice on this situation please feel free to share.

  1. sometimes, you need to just have a backup plan. so it's a little scary not knowing exactly what could happen. when will you know about school? if school is a definite, go for it. do what you need to do. will you be able to pay for your apartment if you aren't in school? i think you're more than ready and able to be able to live on your own, i know you can do this, i believe in you! :)

  2. Sometimes you have to take a step out into the dark and just have the faith that it's what you're supposed to do. I think that if you feel good about it, you should do it. Good luck!
