<p>Ok, I know the thread sounds stupid but bear with me here. I am currently in a 3.5 year relationship with my first and only gf. I love her a lot and enjoy spending time with her. Our relationship is going great except for one thing: College! She wants to go to a midwest college and won’t go any further. I on the other hand, would like to go to a Utah School to ski, a lifelong passion of mine. So basically, it is ski or love I guess. I don’t really care about academics, so stay away from that argument.What are your thoughts on the situation?</p>
<p>There are mountains in Nebraska, right? Right?</p>
<p>No, there are not mountains in Nebraska.</p>
<p>You can go on vacation to ski. Pick the girlfriend.</p>
<p>Ok, lets put it this way: I check skiing websites nearly year round and hype myself months in advance to go skiing for 7 days in the winter. I live in Illinois and would love to be in the mountains. Since I am graduating in 2-2.5 years, I don’t see why I couldn’t go.</p>
<p>Um, assuming you live in the northeast, what about vermont? new hamshire? somewhere in pennsylvania (poconos) or upstate NY?</p>
<p>Girlfriend or avalanche? You choose. lulz</p>
<p>Ok, there are no avalanches inbound ski resorts, so that won’t be a problem. You also have to remember that we would be in the same town for 4 months of the year.</p>
<p>Hm, I dunno. Flip a coin. Personally I would choose the girlfriend because you have your years of 22-30 to do whatever the hell you want to.</p>
<p>MonoTombo: I have had the exact thought with marriage and all, but going skiing to the west and living in the mountains has been an obsession of mine since 5th grade. Can’t a long distance relationship work, especially since it has a little more grounded in it?</p>
<p>“Girls are stupid and unnecessary. Forget her and train.” (c)</p>
<p>But seriously, man. If you even have to ask such questions, you clearly need to choose skiing.</p>
<p>PS. I’d choose skiing.</p>
<p>Ooooohhhhh… skiing is great but Utah? Its utah!! Ski in Tahoe. It isnt utah.</p>
<p>Well, then obviously you have already chosen. Your reasons have already convinced you.</p>
<p>Go for skiing man. I live in Canada and nothing beats skiing Saturday and Sunday every weekend all winter. You will most likely break up with your girlfriend in freshman year. Take advantage of freedom when you can! You are in the best shape of your life now.</p>
<p>Take her skiing to Utah this winter and she will be hooked. University of Utah is an excellent school, by the way. And Utah is not “that Utah” anymore. Trust me. I am not “that Utahn” and I just love it here.</p>
<p>Kelowna, you really are making me excited to go. I can’t wait to go and ski 3 days of the week in the “best snow on earth.” Anyway, anyone have any advice for what I should do with the relationship.</p>
<p>Well, it’s pretty obvious. Everyone has told you to choose your girlfriend, and you have created arguments against each of the reasons that these people offered you. Obviously, you prefer skiing over your girlfriend. I mean, just look at your reactions… Forget what WE think. It’s obvious what YOU think.</p>
<p>I seriously think it is best to break up and go ski. If you are pining for each other, then you can get back together later and maybe try to work out the long distance thing.</p>
<p>You definitely sound like you are making every argument for skiing…that is your passion at this point in your life, go for it.</p>
<p>Colorado? youd be a bit closer. plus i go snowboarding with my uncle over there and its not even comparable to anything you get in the east. not even close. but about the girlfriend. if this girl is really the girl for you then you can make it work.</p>
