I'm a bit torn between moving home and staying here in Orem. I will lay out before you a synopsis of the benifits and downfalls of either side of the scenario, seeing as how that is what has been on my mind for the past couple of weeks.
Staying in Orem
Oh, how I would enjoy staying here in Orem. Myriad are the conveniences of social life interactions. Eric Keele, having just returned from his mission, just moved in I wish I could have spent more time with him. Bobby Pratt and I had plans to film original plotted movie material. Saying would place me in an ideal "fun" summer atmosphere. All of my Latter-day Celebration fiends would be near. I could work in an office and actually enjoy the work I do. I could not imagine a better place that I would prefer to be this summer.
Living at Home
But a smarter option presents itself. If I were to move home, I would be able to work at a job that pays much more than anything I could enjoy in Orem. Granted it is not my preference to work in cabinetry, but I must save money for college. Past is the time for fun and games. I've done little else since I've been home from my mission. It is time to get serious about life and actively pursue the goals I've set, and accomplish them. My education can be procrastinated no longer, and money is the major obstacle which prevents me from accomplishing those goals.
On top of that... for the past year and a half, I have gone car-less. The bus works well for the Provo/Orem area... but for the first time in a year and a half, I will have convenient access to a vehicle. This will allow for gauged social time with all of my friends still up in Orem, and transportation to play practice. (then I won't have to use the bus, which takes just over an hour to get there from Orem.)
Living at home is no fun when compared to living out on your own. But I will be able to be of service there. I will be able to be a better friend to my younger brother. Really I think that is what he needs most right now. Family time will be increased and I can keep my mother more up to date on my life, which will be good, because I love my mother. I never really was too close with my father, but being that I will be working with him and be around the house more, we can become better friends.
I will be more able to strengthen other friendships with people who live down there, that have been neglected because of distance. Overall, the move home will not be nearly as fun as staying in Orem... but it will be a wiser option, and has my futures best interests in mind. Therefore, I am looking forward to moving home, but will miss all the great benefits of living in Orem, away from home.
