i'm about to be 20 years old, & i'm very bored at the college i go to now. i'd really like to transfer to where my best friend goes. its an excellent school, its in a really fun area, & i love going down there! i just love the campus and everything. not just the night life.
it is reasonably priced, & i could afford an apartment with my friend down there easily. (coming from my own money-not my parents)
however, going there would make my mom very very sad. it is 2 hours away. i spend a lot of time with my mom, & i know she would be very upset. she gets really mad when i bring up the topic.
but, i really missed out on doing things in high school (never wen to prom, other events) & i'm not really doing any fun college stuff either.
is it wrong for me to go? what should i do? it won't be till next year, my third year of college. but i have to figure it out in the next couple of months, because apartments get snapped up quickly. i feel guilty for wanting to go, but i really want to.

Rena-Chan answered Wednesday July 11 2012, 7:48 am: Every good mother knows when it's time for her babies to leave. It's always sad, for both ends, but you must go on with your life as well as do what you want to do now. Besides, 2 hours? Come on! I live 5 hours FLYING distance from my family. Even longer if I drive. You will only be 2 hours away, go visit on weekends, holidays and the sort. She'll come to understand in time, but in the beginning, she will be sad. It's never easy to let your babies go ^_^ But I say, put the sorrow aside, and think about what you want. You're an adult now. If you wish to go to this new college, get going before it's too late.
