Making Changes and Taking Chances

I guess we'll just jump right in here.

I will not be back to Greensboro in the fall. I'm transferring to Charlotte. 

I know that this is probably not the most personal way to tell the people I care about, but it's the place I can explain it best. There's honestly not a lot to say, but here it is.

I have been unhappy at Greensboro for a long time. Classes have sucked and being away from my family has been hard. There has been a lot that has kept me from being happy. I finally decided that life is too short to keep staying somewhere where I'm not happy. Please don't misunderstand me: my friends have been the one reason that I considered staying. Andria, Madeline, Evelyn, Rachel, Logan, Tim, Connor, Allyssa, Katie, Sarah, Kristin, Rosie, Rebecca, Tonisa, Evan... (and more, of course) you were the reasons I considered staying next year. It absolutely breaks my heart to know that I won't be seeing you guys on a regular basis. It does. But, in my heart, I know that as much as it hurts, it would hurt me more to stay in a place that I'm miserable.

I'll be praying for you all, and I pray you'll stay in contact after I transfer. 

Please, don't *ever* hesitate to come talk to me about anything; I'm still your friend and I love you all dearly.

Don't worry, you haven't seen the last of me yet.
