So, here's the deal fellow Crappers, I've decided that inspite of getting free college in the state of Indiana thanks to my Purple Heart, I HATE HATE HATE it here. And there is NO way I could live here another 3 or 4 years til I graduate.
So I've been looking for alternatives this past month, and ended up deciding that leaving would do me some good.
Choice A: I have been offered a job working at SeaWorld in Orlando part time as a Security Guard. I absolutely fell in love with Orlando and SeaWorld when I vacationed there last month. The big issue with it is that I wouldn't be able to attend UCF(University of Central Florida) until I got atleast 60 credits, which I'm only about at 25. So I'd have to go to community college and try and find a place to live and hope that the SeaWorld gig and the GI Bill money covers rent and everything else.
Choice B: I've applied to Hawai'i Pacific University, and there is really no reason that I DON'T get accepted. They are known for not taking the SAT/ACTs in account(which I never took thanks to joining the Army at age 17) and they are also a Yellow Ribbon school, which means they are very accepting of Veterans and put us ahead of most others. I'd be going to school in downtown Honolulu and living in a condo in one of the beach towns and doing my internship at one of the resorts.
I'm pretty torn over this, as it's a HUGE choice to make and I think just typing it out here has helped me sort of refocus. I'd like to see what you guys would do. Thanks!
