Why I should have gone:

• I WANTED TO.
• It would have been fun.
• It would have given me a taste of uni life there.
• I could have seen Herzliya.
• It would have probably been perfectly romantic like that Thursday.

Why I didn't go ( NOTE: There was more against...'if in doubt, leave it out.'):

• I wanted to spend Shabbat with my family, it was something I had been looking forward to
• I was sure we'd be able to meet again
• I wanted to keep up my good girl image
• I didn't want to be in an uncomfortable situation with the partying, people I didn't know
• I didn't want things to end after that night
• I didn't want to get too connected and then not see him in 2 months or in Canada at all
• I didn't want to seem that 'easy'
• I didn't want to be impulsive
• I had a very awkward sunburn!
• I knew my mom would not have been happy...yet she didn't seem to care THAT much.
• I didn't have a plan for after.

WHAT I LEARNED: Sometimes I have to let myself be young and free...act my actual age!
