Advice

Well, I am seeking advice. Life is good but always challenging. I have realized that I need to make some very important decisions in my life within the next few months. As previously mentioned, I have decided to go to Utah State and I hope to peruse my degree in photography. I was talking to a friend this past week and he mentioned that I was running away. I must admit, this is a little true. Although I have only been in Provo since September, a lot has happened in that time period and I am so scared of running into my past. Provo has a lot to offer me though. I have a job that allows me to pay my bills and that I happen to love. I also have friends and lots of family close by and even though I have decided that BYU is not the place for me I could always attend UVU. As far as Utah State is concerned, I know nothing about it. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Logan and Utah State, but I am scared out of my mind to go somewhere where I know no one. Not to mention that the closest family will be two hours away. I know a fresh start is always rewarding, but I have a past and eventually people will find out. Right now I am trying to pray and figure it out but I am hoping that some words of advice might be able to give me some comfort as well. I have a few other big personal decisions to make in the near future and I am scared the pressure is getting to me. Please pray I will make the right decision. Thanks for listening.

  2. Utah State has been nothing but good to me. It was a great place for a fresh start. The first time I ever went to Logan was the day I started school. Whatever your decision is just make sure that you stick to your goals and follow through. USU does have a beautiful art department.
    You past will always be with you and sometime it might catch up with you, so make sure that you could deal with that situation.Talk to the people you trust the most with a lot of adult experience.

  3. No matter what you do everything will turn out as it is supposed to Megan. You are a smart girl, just follow your heart and do what you want to do, no one can tell you where to go to school, if you want to go somewhere new ...go! If you are worried and second guessing way to much stay. But either way I know that it will turn out amazing, and if its not what you want. change it, go back. =) Just make sure if you leave where you are and where you love it isn't for reasons that are in the past because I have made that same mistake and I wish I didnt.. your past will always be there and you have to eventually face it. but that doesnt mean that you wont be able to get over everything and move on and still be just as happy if not more right where you are =)
    idk if this helps but... just do what your first thought is.. thats always what my mom tells me. usually the second choice isnt the right one. =) its worked pretty good for me so far.
    love you sanchez good luck and remember its up to u and you alone!

  4. My freshman year of college, I moved to Denver, Co where I literally knew 1 person and I had only just met her the summer before I arrived. It was the best decision of my life. Getting a fresh start and having to stand independently on my own two feet was such a rewarding experience, because I know that no matter what life brings my way I can handle it. Your true friends and of course your family will never be too far away and you will find ways to stay close whether its phone calls, road trips or fb. It's tough in the beginning so don't doubt that it will be rough, but hang in there and you will find the reward. Chances are you will make amazing friends and meet people that will change your life. Not to mention experiencing things that you wouldn't have done otherwise. As far as your past is concerned don't run away from it. You can't change the past even though there are many times we wish that we could. Embrace the experiences that have helped shape you and learn from the mistakes. That's all we can do, make the best! Good luck with your decision, I hope that you accomplish all of your goals with photography because you are truly great at what you do! Good luck making the final decision. XO-Michelle

  5. Meggie you are a cute little seed right now. You will blossom no matter where you are planted. Keep praying, and realize that if you do not have strong feeling one way or the other, the Lord knows that either way will be just peachy. I love you so much, and I wish we lived closer to I could be there for you more. Call me if you need someone to talk to…I will always be there for my little sister J
