I've been consolidating my thoughts and I am now going to compile a list of both reasons why I should stay at home after the summer and reasons why I should come back to school.

Staying home:

• Money
  • It is financially more practical to stay at home and go to a cheaper school than spend the money here on a university.
• I don't know my major
  • I'm just wasting time AND money by staying here and taking "experimental" classes.
• I'm done with my Gen Eds
  • There's nothing left to take without knowing my major...
• Kalamazoo sucks ass
  • There's nothing to do here and public transportation is kind of shitty so it'd be hard to get a job and stuff without a dependable, reliable, consistent means of transportation.
• More options at home
  • At home I'd be able to get myself around cause I know where things are. I could get a job and be able to work decent hours and I could get to school and back no problem.

Coming back to Western:

• Friends
  • I've made great friends here and I would miss them.
• Western itself
  • I DO like the school.
• House
  • I've kind of committed (unofficially) to a living situation for next year...
• Guilt
  • I'd be letting down so many people if I left.
• It doesn't make sense...
  • It's really unconventional and backwards to go from university to community college...
• I'd waste this whole year
  • This year and all the money my parents have spent would be for nothing, really, if I didn't return.
