Simple question, but possibly a complicated answer. So think about it.

 

 

I think mine is this week. I'm in my last year of high school / sixth form so I'm going to University in September, and this week I'm gonna try and decide for sure where I'm going. On Wednesday I'm going for a open day at Teesside University, which is at the moment the top of my priority list. If I go there it means I'm moving out. Which is kinda scary but I guess a bit exciting at the same time. I've put off deciding for a few weeks now so I kinda need to sort it out and make a final decision, to put my mind at rest and give me room to concentrate on other things from now until then.

 

But, then again. There's been situations where I've kinda not came to a decision, when it was just waiting for me to. So maybe the biggest decision I've ever made, was one I never made at all?

 

Okay. Before I confuse myself I'm just gonna post this and see if anyone replies... :thinking:

Yes....talking about universities I'd say that this has also been my biggest decision so far...first "What shall I study?" then "Where shall I study?" and all that stuff....

 

For me that's the first step to a life on my own. I mean when I was younger my parents made these kind of decisions....and now I have to make them...it feels quite strange...and I wonder if you still think about it so much when you are older and got used to making important decisions....because I often tend to regret my decisions although there is not really a reason...:thinking:

I decided a few years ago to marry someone I thought I knew well. It turns out I didn't know him at all. Fortunately, I also decided not to marry him a few months later.

 

I really want to move to the UK, but I'm the only relative my mother has and she's going into a nursing home, so I'm feeling guilty about wanting to leave. But it's not like I'd never visit, and your parents shouldn't have your life to live as well as theirs. This is easily the hardest decision I've ever had to make.

 

Whoa! I'm not usually this open on the forum,lol.

Ha. I feel like this thread have proved worth me making for getting you to open up a bit :P

 

My mum was kinda in a bit of the same situation. My nanna is blind, has been since she was 11. And she has 3 daughters (my mam and my 2 aunties) and all of the like... grandchildren etc etc. My mam, and my 2 brothers and myself are the only ones that live here in Newcastle. The rest live on the Isle of Wight, at the other end of England. My nan, cause of her blindness, hasn't been able to excerise like a perfect sighted person would, and lost mobility a lot. So much so that last Autumn my mam reached the decision that my nan had to move to the Island so she would have more family to take care of her. Cause my mam had basically looked after her by herself for 20 years or so, with help only from myself since I've been old enough. And my mam needed a break. So I suppose that's almost the same thing. My mam put herself before her mother one time, after 20 years of being the only daughter who really put herself out for her mother. It was the same with my grandad Joe (God rest his soul) who was also blind. It got to a point though that my grandad left everything in his will to my mam, and nothing to his other 2 daughters.

 

I guess the difference is my nan has 2 other daughters while you are the only one?

In my short life...

I think the biggest decision I made was to go to Germany two years ago...it was not some big decision but it affected my life a lot.

I developed as a person thanks to that experience.

my biggest decision is yet to be made.

 

i'm so undecided concerning my future. i'm gonna apply at university and i'm likely to get it. however i also applied for an apprenticeship which you start after your a levels and i'm still waiting for the response. but i'm not gonna get it any time soon i guess, i'm gonna have an interview in june.

 

thats what i'm expected to do and its probably the best thing to do as well if i think about it. but its like my heart is saying 'no' to it. i lived and worked in england last year and i miss my boyfriend and my friends there a lot. theres many reasons why i'd prefer to live there but its not a good idea if you look at my career. i definitely cant study in the uk for financial reasons.

 

its a really thugh decision i guess, especially because my dad doesnt allow me to go to the uk and he probably wouldnt speak to me again for years.

Choosing a university I guess would be the biggest.

Where you goin, Ted?

My biggest decision is choosing the faculty department (not the uni as we only have 4 universities in our lil country) - if I get into it, I might travel a lot and therefore not living in my country anymore and I guess this is not such a small thing.

Where you goin, Ted?

 

Edinburgh

 

:D

i haven't had to decide college or jobs or anything like that yet so i haven't had to make a decision that was too hard. The hardest i would say was whether or not to continue playing soccer (football.. sorry i call it soccer, its just what i grew up with) after i hurt my knee. I put in a real lot of thought and finally said no. I'm reallly a tennis player, and i couldn't screw that up...

Edinburgh

 

:D

 

 

I heard it's difficult to get in there, congrats. :D You're going the whole way in moving then. I don't think it would be possible for you to move further away :P

 

I'll be in the North East so we won't be too far away :P Maybe one time when you head home to Portsmouth and I'm heading down to the Isle of Wight we will travel together and share students stories. Haha. :P

one time I had to make a choice between cotton candy and bubblegum... My life since then was never the same

What did you choose? I'd have problems with that too.

I chose the cotton candy because it isn't so....... out there

 

you know.. bubblegum just kind of ........

 

spreads itself around. :gorgeous:

 

it just lays there on the street and people put it in their mouth for hours.

 

but cotton candy is stable. It has reasons, motivation. :scholar:

 

Once in a while you might see BLUE cotton candy or PURPLE cotton candy. But it usually sticks to what it knows. Cotton candy.. it is wise.

 

Bubblegum, sheesh :rolleyes: blue, red, orange, yellow, white.. It can't make decisions.

 

That's why I choose cotton candy. :nice:

Will do!

I haven't made any big decisions, but I have a lot of life left to live. =P
