Here is my story:Im a 22 year old sbf and for the past year I have been contemplating moving out of Houston.I will be done with my prerequisites in the summer of 2010.I love my parents(especially my dad) but I feel like there is nothing for me down here.Its too much noise in this city.Too many trashy people due to the hurricanes.Seems like everyone is in houston now(no offense to the katrina evacuees)..My mother is a registered nurse and she’s always on my back about school.She gets crazy if I dont study as much as she did.(weird) .She’s paranoid and overprotective,depressed(always crying).She can be really mean at times.She wants me to be just like her.I cant even be myself without her criticizing me.I have a 26 year old brother and he’s out of control(he lost it 2years ago).He’s always upsetting my parents.He has two children,that I have to deal with every other weekend.Buthe doesnt live with us anymore.To make a long story short.Im very unhappy with my homelife and this city.I live a sheltered life.Im ready to be my own person.Now here’s the question:Ive done some research and found that I would have to live in the state of my choice for one year in order to gain residency.I have a few thousand dollars saved up.I have so many good and bad memories here in Houston(to much to type).I want to see if I could make it somewhere else BY MYSELF.I really need your advice you guys.Ive been thinking about Maine,Washington,Utah,Colorado,Canada.I would love to live near wildlife,mountains,lakes.Ive only traveled to Louisiana and oklahoma.I’ll miss my immediate family but I kind of want to get away from them.Im not worrying about missing my friends.Has anyone ever packed up and moved out of state??I’ll get a job until I go to nursing school.I just want to be free and enjoy the outdoors,meet new people.I cant do that here.Please I need your advice.
I would recommend Colorado. It’s beautiful there and I think that would be the best for you. Immigrating to Canada is supposed to be pretty hard. I wish you the best and hope you enjoy nursing.
