Minneapolis to Chicago
10 months ago
I want to leave Mpls so badly. I hate living here. My parents (for VERY good reasons I’ll admit) moved here when I was 15. Too scared to leave for college, I stayed. Got pregnant. Then it was I can’t leave with the kids. Well now, I’m 30, single mom with 2 kids, and just T.I.R.E.D. My lease is up May 31. Part of me just wants to GO! Make it happen! The “people pleaser” in me says I’ll have lots of ‘xplainin to do. I’m in my 2nd semester of college. Wanting to finish but not thinking I can wait 3 MORE YEARS. Ugh. So I’m thinking…do I move to Chicago this summer, work, and apply to UIC for next year (delaying my degree another year) or do I tough it out (begrudgingly) for 3 more years until I’m done.
