Going or staying
I have to make a really big decision (and quick)- going or staying. Going to college a year early in a whole new city and making all new friends, or waiting a year in high school and seeing what other options I have. So puzzled.
How I did it: Well, I made lists. Several of them. All in different formats for lists. Paragraphs, tables of pros and cons, gains, losses, emotions, quantitative, qualitative. And through all of this it became clear where my desires were. Not that I didn't have any in the other direction but I could tell there was a stronger pull to keep me here and that ultimately made my mind up.
Lessons & tips: Talk to people. Think about it, too much even if you have to. But at some point it's time to just flip a coin because it may never happen.
Resources: paper and pencil.
