I live in Alabama. I hope there is no more explanation needed as to why i want to move, but here is my situation and just looking for some advice:

I have no desire to stay in the south any longer- too many narrow minded people, trash, and conservative overload.

- I would be transferring for college
- I dont know anyone there except for a family friend i'd be staying with for a while until i get things settled
- I would be completely financially independent
- My only fear would be being alone/ not knowing anyone--- I just want to meet new people in a new area

Is this a STUPID DECISION, as its VEGAS and me being from a relatively small town and so young?

Why Vegas?

Have you considered Florida, for example? Or the Midwest?

Vegas can be pretty expensive bro.

Yes i have considered Florida-

1, i grew up on water/love the beach

But, the only reason I said Vegas is bc i have a really good family friend there that is very settled and can provide me shelter until i get a job/school/stuff setup.

Plus, its vegas baby ! But yea the money$$ is a relatively big issue, but im also broke where i am right now-- so might as well be fucked somewhere cool vs. shitty i guess

Going somewhere only knowing one person. Don't do it, j/k

You will find this to be an adventure and a learning experiance. You will learn alot about yourself, as for meeting people that is easy you will be on campus and at bars. You go out with your friend once, mingle meet his friends then branch out and meet your own, one thing of advice don't get to attached to just one person you need to build a social base and it should be more people from school so it keeps you on track with similiar goals.

Jobwise just go to Monster and see what the market it like, and where you can work your new advisor should be able to help you with that as well. But best to have some interviews lined up the week you get into town.

Weren't you the guy who claimed your Grandfather left you a fortune in the millions and was just bragging about buying a new EVO a few months ago? Now you're broke? Nice money management skills.

Yes, it's one of the qualms that comes with having a good memory and a 25 IQ.

I would sincerely enjoy confining you to a wooden chair, wrists and ankles bound-- and keeping you barely alive enough to watch you starve to death. Hey man how ya doin

Going by your prior posts about your house being given to you and your investment portfolio etc - I would recomend a nice suite at the Bellagio while you settled, than obviously renting a great apartment will no issue for you.

1. Listen to yourself

2. Do it.

3. Do not hesitate
